[QUOTE="GT33, post: 964149, member: 5550"] Mostly throughout GT’s history we’ve mostly had good men running our programs. The results may not have been good and we can argue about Pepper and Chan and Paul and Bud and Bill and George and Bobby, but the boys played smart and hard and in a manner distinguishing themselves as GT Men. That’s who were are (or were). There was much angst about the program and much like other programs nationwide the inability not just to do good, but to win it all. Our system was not going to get us there. Perhaps no system ever will again in the current format. Hence we ushered in “that regime”. Hate to say it but looking back it was pretty repulsive and folks were either blindly naive or skeptical and stayed mostly silent as the expected train wreck occurred, just didn’t know when. We had hoped that somehow a miracle would occur and we’d somehow be saved, but we doubled down on them and imploded in historic fashion. Not on the same scale obviously but when history occurs like it did- Great Depression, WWIi, Vietnam War, 9-11, etc people will discuss it for a very long time, decades in fact. GT is coming out of a mini one of those, our own relatively insignificant version. Many of us cut our teeth during Nam or shortly thereafter. We’re not in 1963 or 1968 or 1973 or 1979. We’re kinda in 1982 where we don’t know where this Key-Batt-Cabrera team is going to take us. It’s gonna be brought up. Damn near every thread people will either say it, imply it with sly words, make oblique references to it, but it will be there. Gonna take decades to get over the small number of powerful people and directly the 3 people ultimately responsible for the worst period of GT football ever in our history. We didn’t just lose, we became a laughingstock and a joke of a program and that’s hard to let go when you been around The Flats so long. IIWII. [/QUOTE]
