[NU Sports] I hate Hawaii

I think the general concensus was that Strotz was from the Uof C  philoshoshy 
of -de-emphasizing collegiate atheletics and therefore was fine  having a 
team that was getting killed week after week where every first down was  cause 
for a Rose Bowl cheer.
 
Having a 1-31 record under Venturi and a  two 1-10  seasons for  Pont's last 
2 years as head coach didn't seem to shake up much. I suspect  that when the 
athletes, particularly the African -American ones complained about  Venturi, 
combined with our horrific record, that there was a  realization that we had to 
have a new program top to bottom. (Pont, who was  then just AD at that time,  
had similar accusations leveled at him  when he was Coach at Indiana )
 
Getting Single as AD and Green as head coach , both from Stanford, showed  
that we finally were going to attempt to address some major problems--
