Trip, it's fair to say that other teams do go through tough times, typically attributable to recruiting, coaching, conference change, maybe NCAA violation.  This feels much different knowing the vindi

You obviously have forgotten the history there and why Leavitt treated him that way.   There is a long history, but I remember it starting with the privacy violation.   McMurphy did violate school

"Killed", I think is a metaphor.   What makes it bad to me is it is almost entirely self-inflicted.

Mcmurphy didn't kill any program. By suggesting as much you just give him credit... Other programs have dealt with FAR worse and made it through. Doug made a BAD hire that most thought was a pretty good one. That particular hire really put us in a bad spot and now we are dealing with it.

 

we will eventually right the ship

 

This "killing the program" crap is ridiculous and furthered by those who don't know **** about college football. All programs go through rough times, relatively speaking, and it's our turn.

Trip, it's fair to say that other teams do go through tough times, typically attributable to recruiting, coaching, conference change, maybe NCAA violation.  This feels much different knowing the vindictive son of a _______ reporter, his disgruntled locker room playpals, and the "investigation" by an AD that wasn't "powerful" enough.  

 

Also, realizing that many of those that care, saw this whole thing being built and saw the early success but knew it would take time would be fully prepared for success.  Unfortunately, that patience you ask for now from fans was absent from many when, in the program's tenth year of existence, we couldn't get into a BCS game.  That started a lot of grumbling then.

 

I'd rather us have suffered from something we didn't bring onto ourselves so willingly.  The crap we're in now is all self-inflicted.

McMurphy reported an actual event that happened against a coach that treated him like crap. Yeah, I'm sure he revels in it a bit, but he's a good journalist and our coach and fans treated him like crap for not only reporting the positive

McMurphy was a sensationalist though. Yes his story turned out to be true.  Yes it needed to be reported.  But there is legitimate reporting in then there is helping to create the story - he clearly crossed the line - doesn't exonerate anyone involved but it does discredit him.

Yeah, but Leavitt had made a game of ******* on McMurphy for over two years leading up to the story.

Had Leavitt not treated McMurphy so bad this story would have come and gone.
