The streets will be flooded with Mean Green, like when a new pope is announced.

Please, for heave sake, get competence in that position moving forward. It doesn't have to be a white old man either. It can in fact be young blood (like 50) that gets the landscape of college.

If so, 
We need to start looking at wealthy/powerful donors of Mr. Abbott.
