Mea Culpa

[gophmeister]

After some deep thought and actually taking the time to read about Kill and watch him on Youtube, I've had a change of heart. I don't know if Kill can lead this team to the Rose Bowl, but I do know is it won't be from a lack of effort or ability. If he can win the players over like he did at NIU, we'll at least be competitive in the near term. Anyway, this reminds me of the time I wanted a Huffy bike for Christmas with the big puffy seat and the handle bars that were like a motorcycles. Instead of the Huffy I had pined for and pointed to on every trip to the hardware store, on Christmas morning my dad presented me with a different bike. Sure it looked somewhat like a Huffy, but I wanted a Huffy! I had suffered through the indignity of having to ride my sister's hand-me-down bike in order to learn in the first palce. Now I was ready to strut my stuff on my new Huffy. Well that wasn't going to be the case. After my initial disappointment had faded I took the bike out, in the snow, and soon forgot about the Huffy. When Spring rolled around I was tearing all over the countryside on that bike. Surprisingly it did everything the neighbor kids bikes' did. I rode that bike until I was almost a teenager when an unfortunate accident broke the frame. That was long after most other kids' Huffys fell apart (the seat's were the first thing to go). Much like the bike, I built up some pretty high expectations about this coaching search. I hope you all will forgive my childish petulance and accept me back into the fold. Let's see what Kill and his staff can do.

Jerry Kill is, at the moment, unfortunately a victim of circumstance. Every thing that Maturi could have done wrong, outside of hiring Brew 2.0, he did wrong. By the time the spring game rolls around things will have calmed down and when we open at USC next fall he has a gift wrapped opportunity to gain fans where it matters.

Welcome back, m'boy! I almost shed a tear when I read your earlier diatribe...I thought I would be forced to sail the seas of GopherHole without my trusty FlightAware buddy.
