Number 4 is so important.  That is all we ask for.  We don't need a cheerleader, just someone who treats the program fairly and not an afterthought.  I am unsure why the media all think that we want a cheerleader. I remember years ago when I lived in Pasco I could hear a New Orleans station at night.  Mike Ditka talked about a lot of local and national sports including Tulane football.  He certainly wasn't a cheerleader but he knew the players and talked about their games.  You know, fairly and with respect.  I think Ditka has more credibility than all of the media in Tampa put together and that includes the ones who go out of their way to disparage the program. 

Interesting.

Why would Ditka do a radio show from NoLa?

It was years ago when I listened to him.  He did the show after he was relieved of his coaching duties for the Saints.  I used him as an extreme example of someone who has achieved at the highest level but still could relate and talk about the local team.

Don't remember him coaching the Saints, that's why I asked. I only think Chicago when I think of Ditka.

I think of him mainly as a great player and coach of the Bears also.  He also played for Dallas and coached under Landry for awhile.

Traded his entire draft for Ricky Williams.

He should have learned from the Vikings' mistake in dealing with Jimmy Johnson.

Looked it up in Wikipedia, wow. Bold move, too bad it didn't work out well for either of them.

I wouldn't want Collin at TBT because he wouldn't be able to write the way he does. Right now the daily stampede is the best coverage for USF football. I know a lot of people hate on em, but it's true. 

Many times, this! :GoBulls:

I used to like when Greg would devote some time periodically to answer questions related about the Bulls to us fans. That was a great way to interact with him.

Just got a call from the Times wanting to know why I canceled my subscription. :roflmao:

I told him that is was 100% because of the negative articles written by them at almost every opportunity. He said that he has not heard that before. The only complaints he heard was FSU fans complaining about the UF bias.
