Rick Greenspan Would Rather Brain Surgery Not Get In The Way Of Marketing

Da Realist:

the epitome of "support"

"We had a really good semester academically. We've got a lot of kids on campus either at summer school, or working or whatever, getting stronger. So, we're certainly by no means on a treadmill, but Terry has been both a face and a leader of this team. And so, in terms of his personal visibility and what that means to us, yeah, we'd love to have him out there."

Gangsta D:

You're Indiana football. You couldn't win with Randle El. You suck. Let the man recuperate from BRAIN SURGERY, for crying out loud. Like Herm Edwards said, "A man's gotta know his talent level."

Da Realist:

it's obvious the AD wants to go in a different direction but can't because of the sensitive nature of the coach's illness. the only way for the AD not to know the status of the coach's health is for the AD not to call and find out. he doesn't want to know, he doesn't care.

Gangsta D:

Like I said, you're Indiana FOOTBALL. If he fired Hoeppner, there'd be a momentary backlash, but no one would care after about 2 minutes. So either fire him, or shut up about it:)

College football adoration is Moby Dick. Every AD wants his program to be mentioned with USC, OSU, Texas, etc, regardless of their particularly inherent disadvantages.

Da Realist:

yeah, you gotta wonder why he's so bent out of shape when they're gonna place dead last in the Big-10 anyway
