[Husker] The era of the big red machine; (fwd)

[Lee]

One year ago on this List I said that years ago I was a Raiders fan for 
years until they got so dirty (somewhere I have a John Madden autograph he 
signed for me on Bourbon Street in New Orleans back in the 70's or 80's (to 
old to remember!) while I held his two beers). My interest in them was 
rekindled with Grudden and BC. Inspite of the fact that I was very wrought 
over Frank's firing I came out strong in support of BC's hiring and still am 
behind him.

We knew the stable was empty of new recruits when he came in and although 
none of us expected this bad a year we did not expect a great one. As Brad 
points out here ND fired Willingham before he could recruit in a full cycle 
so let's hope that does not happen to BC. SP I could care less about as I 
always said (and did on the List) that a person who talks with a stiff upper 
lip is hiding something.

I don't know about here, but I think some ND recruits may have second
thoughts about going to a school that fired Ty Willingham after only 3 
seasons,
without time to fully implement his system with a full recruiting cycle. 
They are
getting a little quick with the hook, which if I were a recruit would make 
me
wonder if the next coach and system will last through my career.

Let's hope that SP is smarter than the ND folks and gives BC more time than
that if he wins 16 more games in the next two seasons (and gets the D back 
in
shape, by whatever means) or is at least respectable.

Couldn't believe the press conference about Willingham.  Something like
"Academic performance is at a fever pitch, it has never been higher."  "From 
Sunday
through Friday the football program has exceeded expectations in every
respect...but on Saturdays we have struggled."

I think these guys made a much poorer decision than even SP did in firing
Solich, hope the next guy makes them pay up front BIG TIME...and BC steals a
couple of their blue chips ; )

GBR...how many days until the 2005 season starts?

Would a recruit NOT come here, due to the A.D. ?
