the semantics of 3 major programs and bagging on women’s sports doesn’t interest me.

I just don’t have the bandwidth to pay any attention to any more sports teams. It seems like they are doing well and drawing some crowds now from the occasional tweets that roll across my timeline.

over the controls. He does not get enough credit. Coming off two disasterous ADs and with all of the concerns about him being a small-time hire, a Guenther guy, he was EXACTLY what we needed and has done damn near every single thing right.

I'm 49 years old. I cannot remember a time when I felt as good about our 3 major programs, felt as much optimism and joy watching games, loved our coaches as much, and loved the trajectory of the department. And I feel really good about the olympic sports (minus volleyball). There is no AD in America I would take over him.
