Burke is on the cusp of overshadowing any of the good he brought to the athletic department with the debacle that is the Danny Hope side show. I for one would be surprised and relieved if he did just that while announcing the search for a new Coach has been under way for a a couple weeks. But....who am I kidding, that is far too forward thinking for the stale AD. If there is one thing I can count on with Burke, there are NO surprises. You can calculate his moves like the arms on a finely tuned Swiss clock.BoilerBloodlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056897537313305905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-29270059456965073432012-11-05T23:12:12.372-05:002012-11-05T23:12:12.372-05:00It's so late in the season that it got dark to...It's so late in the season that it got dark today at 5pm... tomorrow's election day... stores have X-mas decorations out...

Always saying that Hopes players would run through a brick wall for him (yet to see that), that we were ignorant to question Hope since we didnt play the game, and special things are happening within the program, blah blah blah.

Name Cornell interm coach and Higgins interm OC. First, they cant do any worse. Second, fans will be so relieved that they will show for the players instead of not showing purposefully to send a statement to Burke. Third, Cornell and Higgins just might value the opportunity to the degree that they will be indefatiguable in the work of finding an appropriate game plan. The time to make a change is the moment you know it has to be done. That moment is now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-83485909436213260692012-11-05T15:57:03.606-05:002012-11-05T15:57:03.606-05:00Could someone swipe Hope's whistle and put it ...Could someone swipe Hope's whistle and put it on eBay for the highest bidder - maybe take that money and add it to the buy him out and run him out of town stash?

It's an indicator of having a lead, having possession, etc. If a team is rushing for a lot, they're winning. <br /><br />That said, your point about them not following logic and playing to strengths is accurate.

Just did easy some numbers. Hope/Nord are 12-1 rushing over 200 yards, 7-26 under 200 yards. You would think somebody with a brain would point this out seomwhere along the way over the last 4 years, but Nord is to much of an arrogant SOB to even consider doing the smart thing as opposed to HIS thing.midnigtidiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426235964643172920noreply@blogger.com
