[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 408090, member: 265"] It's true. I went to grad school up there in the late 70s and they were always "just a step away!" But having games on Saturday night does help attendance; people plan their whole weekend around a Carolina game and W-B is a great place to watch football. (I liked the old place better, but nobody paid any attention to me. Again.) And they were remarkably short-sighted too boot. They had a really good coach, Warren Geise, from the Woody Hayes coaching tree. Three straight 7 - 3 seasons, and All-American (!) player, Alex Hawkins - overall, the best record a USCe coach had had up to that point. And, of course, they fired him: "The games are too boring! All we do is run! We'd do better if we passed more!" (Sound familiar?) When I got there he was heading up the physical ed department - Giese had a Ph.D. in the subject - and everybody was sitting around looking at the ruin that was USCe football and wondering what happened. [I]Now[/I] you know one reason why I don't have much patience with folks around here who want to get rid of Coach. I've seen what can result. [/QUOTE]
