1. Too many poor relationships with the administration 2. Too many poor relationships with the players 3. Too many problems with recruiting (see the Hawaiian pipeline) 4. Not very good with the media Given the above, fan expectations don't even enter into the equation. |

The point for this thread is that fans had high expectations in the late 90's which was built on a sense of tradition and glory that came from the winning of the prior 20 years. The Ute that posted about how this talk suddenly appeared circa 2003 is totally off. |

Cougs need to deal with the Crowton years, and the way they do it is to keep talking about days gone by. FYI, you're still not out of the woods yet - Bronco may prove to be the dud I believe he is afterall. At least you'll have the 'glory' days to fall back on when the fall from bronco-induced-heights comes. |

Detmer won the Heisman 16 years ago due largely to the tradition and glory that had been built the prior 15 years. We've been talking about tradition and glory for a while, deservedly or undeservedly. If you felt like the chatter got louder circa 2003, I'd say it was because you didn't pay attention earlier, or you were talking to a small group of Cougar fans who probably just had an agenda to get under your skin. |
