You're right, Tim. Going through dry times makes you appreciate the good times.
We screwed up. Some of it was in the basketball program, a lot of it was players talking to agents, doing deals secretly. But in the end, we screwed up. Did some sleazy things in recruiting. Got busted. Got what we deserved. Paid a big price.
Some of our people want to blame Fullmer, blame Tennessee, blame the NCAA. That is BS, imho. We are the ones that screwed up.
One of the things Saban has done is to clean that up. He ran off the thugs and punks too. You don't see our guys getting arrested, etc. any more. If you're going to win, and win with class, you gotta' have winning people.
The thugs shoulda' been gone long ago.
Shoulda' never been there in the first place.
This game will always have an asterisk beside it, because of McCoy getting hurt. It certainly took away from the game, and took some of the fun away from winning. I hope he has a great pro career. He is a great player and a class act.
