tm, you are one of the more level headed u fans that I have encountered on chat sites. I have seen you be critical, even though it is usually with a qualification, so I can see that you are not blind, the stench even gets to you sometimes.
The whole cult of personality thing is what drives people on these sites.
Look at how many times u fans have referred to kirkie as a "man of integrity." They do this, even with the evidence that he is not above all of the shady antics that go on in all of these schools. Believe it or not, he just like all of the other coaches.
The thing that makes it even more laughable is that these same u fans that spout this nonsense are the first ones to criticize other programs. It is sad how insecure and small many of your fanbase truly are.
What these "people" are doing is much what u fans do as well. They have a lot more tradition, and are a real national program. BUT what the sweater vest has done the past 10 years is exceptional, even by their standards. They don't want to lose the success.
They are a scared bunch right now, no question about that. At least we won't have to worry about another NCG run by the Buckeyes for a bit. That always makes us fans of football and not hype nervous every November.
