now irrelevant program. I don't know if it is naive ignorance, stupidity, or just being a closet fan of these other outfits who consistently do they can to harm us in every way they can.
I still remember Larry Smith having to deal with some TigerTalk caller back in the day. The guy was complaining that we were not throwing the ball when we were down 40-0 to Illinois. Larry let him have it - Telling him the program could not take another 73-0 beatdown (Texas A&M) and to do so would take us from irrelevance to oblivion. He told the fans this type of thinking would destroy the program Three years later we were in a bowl game because of his wisdom.
Also heard him dress down some double agent SMS football/(claiming to be MU fan) about playing the mickey mouse Bears. Told him this would destroy an irrelevant program. His words exactly - "Do you want to erase totally what Don Farout and Dan Devine did?" Again, 3 year later we are in a Bowl and the rest is history.
It's the same thing here. Play some instate outfits in home and homes, come on down to their level, and solidify yourself as no longer the pre-eminent program in your own state.You are no longer just irrelevant as a Power 5 - you are oblivious.
I know you love Dana Ford. Just go to the Bearnation board and leave the True Sons alone, for God's Sake.
