See exhibit A - Larry Brown. The coach that actually has skins on the wall, and has enough credibility to critique our traditions actually does nothing but talk them up.


This! Please tell me how many championships JJ has won (WAC championships don't count).......

Same unquantified BS everyone threw out at the end of Cavan and Bennett. Everyone sees what they want to see. I trust objective sources that are football experts over overzealous fans or transplanted euro soccer fans.

There is no such thing as an objective football expert.

Size is quantified. So is weight. Likewise speed. I believe my own eyes, and the stat sheets. And football is not nearly the mystery you pretend, there are far more mercurial sports.

You can try to belittle me for being foreign but luckily for me being more worldly than you makes me able to not really care whether you trust my opinion or not.

Brown not only embraces them but is in the process of building / blending new traditions into the athletics program (like the players giving high fives to the fans). From june we get skull and bone helmet stickers and a critique of our mascot
