PLEASE - remember that these are Students -


The freshmen were riding the yellow bus last year and all of the players are in the late teens and early 20's trying to earn their degree. They are not professionals and I did not see anyone just give up. Let's not forget when we were their age and what we had to do. How they do it with all of the time pressures on them to keep their grades up with travel, practice, game, meeting, eating, etc. requirements is amazing. Probably most of us could not do it - I know that I could not - so give these kids a break and the coach as well. How many of you would want to coach a college sport with your requirement to put a roof over your head based upon young people in their late teens and early 20's. That takes courage. At least Tech does it the right way and not like Louisville and other institutions where "winning" is everything and at any cost.
