I am really curious how this will all look.

This is a fantastic hire. Many ECU fans I know loved that guy.

Come on Benford's Best Team Of His HC Career!!!! Get your shit together!

Benford is only about 4.5 years away from havig his own team. Let's give him a chance.

All these coach changes makes me wonder how this impacted recruiting. Not that they told incoming players or not... but moreso, if you are on your way out and know it.... are you really likely to put your best food forward and fight for those kids for a job you aren't about to be in. It all just makes me wonder...

What about Diet Coke guy? it has been a long while and I think he paid his dues long ago.

Sounds like your forced loan cost you an extra 4 count nugget and a dubble bubble or two. Damn Feds.

Tax refund? Don't you mean your 0% interest loan you gave to the government?

Ha. So true. There would be absolutely no interest at that point. :)

I am quite certain you mean 'Beer Flavors'.

I wonder how many players are playing without knowing what their role really is on the team?

Wouldn't it be more correct to say that Mac hasn't had a lot of luck with Louisiana players? I seem to recall several good ones from the DD years, no?

Pearson and Guyton. i look forward to seeing what they can do.

While I do know many wanted DD gone at that time, i don't recall many wanting RV gone at that time. I think most were still happy with how he changed the game day atmosphere, the build of the athletic center, and we didn't blame him for the vote down of the new student fees for a new stadium.

Good old day syndrome is when you rewrite the past. I have heard more positive regard for DD this past 6 months then I ever did the last few years he was here. Most people wanted him gone because he was so frustrating. He did well in a weak league. Just because DD faired better than his successors doesn't mean that he should have stayed. It only means that RV made crappy replacements. The sentiment on the board was quite strong in wanting him gone then and I didn't blame them at the time... and I don't blame them now. Nor, do I rewrite things after seeing the crappy successors. I fault RV for the hires he made, not the one he fired.

Thank you for not having 'good ol' day' syndrome. I agree with your post completely. And i don't recall many, if anyone, saying differently on this board at the time.

I have figured it out... Wren is letting this thing nose dive as much as possible so that when he makes the hire. No matter what, new coach will likely have a better record then Benford's last year and thus, upward trajectory and the masses satisfied with WB's hire. You might have everyone else fooled in your maniacal plan. But you don't fool me WB! No no! You don't fool me!

Yeah. He physically and skill-wise something I have never seen before. He also played on my intramural football team. Most of the guys did. I would just throw it up to what looked like 15 feet in the air (exaggerating) and like some beast he would jump up over everyone and get it. It made for lots of laughs and a lot of 'oh come on!' from the other team. They were good guys and got a long well. That was JJ's last year. The next, was a very different story. One time I had him in my office because some alcohol was found. He wasn't of legal age but I knew it wasn't him either. He took the fall for it and claimed it was his because he wanted to protect other players. I didn't do anything because the incident wasn't a big deal at all. But I did think it was cool that he was willing to take the responsibility for it even though it wasn't for him to take. I actually have a few funny stories of the players, and not the players that are always fun to reflect on

Havig SL coach up the players like he did this past year to get to some winning ways will help us in this. Trying to be patient. We had a long ways to go from what DM left us with.

It was fun. Because he just got here and wasnt benforded yet. Lol basically, he would stand at the basket and destroy anyone who dared. On the offensive end, I would just lob it up. Oh he also liked shooting from half court for funnies. But he drained more than half of them. He actually was really generous when we played. Trying to get everyone involved because we are on the sucky level compared to him. It was fun. He is a good guy.

How did you know I played intramurals with him? are you a magician? I am totally freaking out.

If NCAA doesn't do anything... how can we not expect a new culture of this from football programs?

Come on Harry, you know we hired a miracle worker who has decided to not miracle work now that he is here. That is what complacency does to a man.

Ah, I missed that.
