Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2407516, member: 1772"] Because, as my wife repeatedly reminds me, I am fundamentally clueless by nature, I suppose that it's unsurprising that there's an awful lot I just don't "get" when it comes to some of our discussions on this forum. Chief among those issues that leave me perplexed has to do with successful recruiting efforts by other top programs in WCBB. It's not just that the game would be terminally boring if our favorite team swept the table of top recruits each year (does pretty damned well as it is!), but why the animus directed at certain programs in particular? And, most especially, why [U]any [/U]disdain toward Dawn, of all people? Please, please, before you start referencing attributes like the "brashness" of her personality, her self-confidence, her putative "arrogance," be aware that, in response, I'm going to point out some striking similarities to another coach with whom we're VERY familiar. Dawn's been an unalloyed asset to WCBB at every level, including especially taking over a mediocre program at USC, talking the talk, and subsequently walking the proverbial walk. Since she learned so much of her craft at Geno's knee, who better positioned to applaud that accomplishment than we? And if the end result is a more feverish rivalry between our favorite program and hers, is that a bad thing? Not to me! [/QUOTE]
