Re: Walling
It's not revisionist because we were all talking about this and how lucky we were before each freakin' game. Before Hawaii it was "Thank gosh Taua and Lippincott are out...those are their top two RBs and together average >350 yards per game...and they don't really act like the want to be in Hawaii so lets catch 'em while they are down and sleeping"...we did. Before Pitt it was "Thank gosh they don't have RB Ray Graham, they are 6-6, their offensive line sucks, they are on their 4 or 5th option for HC because of their coaches leaving, their players don't act like they want to be at the BBVA...so lets catch 'em while they are down and sleeping"...and we did it again. Sorry, sir. Nothing revisionist about it. It was a majority of what we were discussing and what was known before the game.

We may have beaten a Big East team but it doesn't mean we have a sound recruiting strategy. It simple means we were better that day. It would make sense to focus on more known recruits instead of searching in obscurity for them.
