Message: [QUOTE="ThatCG1801, post: 4336001, member: 10757"] Dawn is very familiar with Vic and I doubt his fundamental style of coaching and tendencies are going to change at this point no matter what talent he has. Sure, the opposite can also be said with Vic of Dawn. I firmly believe Dawn is simply a better coach than him plus she has ALL of the momentum both on a collegiate coaching level and on a national platform outside of that and it gives us a huge advantage. Additionally, we have already been tested against Vic at Texas with the bigger pool of talent and we won. I don't subscribe to the notion that Texas' shiny new facilities are going to make that significant of a difference. UCONN is a terrific example of this, absolutely no offense intended to them. Their facilities by comparison to larger schools with expansive athletic program budgets is pretty large in that they compete against programs with "fancier" facilities routinely without it having had that big of a difference in their results of winning. They've had "down" yrs for them, but most teams would die for a "down" year by their standards. [/QUOTE]
