Okay Perry Mason, you started off completely lambasting one of the few radio programs that still has a UL message as its main theme. Now you are justifying something form a position which you have absolutely no idea they did anything else & most of the parties are dead, or retired now anyway. I believe the guy. He's not grudging. He obviously loves the school like any RPer who posts on here & many who don't. But the fact is he was tired & the untold part of his interview probably would be he thought he would be getting called in to be put on the payroll only to be told to get lost.
So tell the board Perry, what is the difference in that kind of stupidity & the kind of stupidity that causes you to kick out students for hasselling other teams players on the side lines and destroy the student backing of your football program by the end of game two this past season. People have been apologizing & defending this university's horrible decision making for decades. The reality is they have a putrid fan following because that is what they have sought for decades.
They don't want to be the big kid on the block. They can't handle being the big kid on the block. They have done everything possible to avoid being the big kid on the block for decades. I wouldn't doubt that this school has put itself on probation using the NCAA as it's whipping stick against itself. Why? Jealousy by this one against that one because they were working too hard, or doing too much to get ahead. That is the reputation of this school & it has been well earned & will never change because that is what the administration embraces consistently.
