It's just the timing and what followed during the players' meeting that really was low; the rest is, like you said, part of the business.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-74552037900438969232010-01-13T08:28:29.983-06:002010-01-13T08:28:29.983-06:00You'd be wise not to get caught up in any perc...You'd be wise not to get caught up in any perceived integrity in men's college sports at any school. It's a business. <br /><br />Can't say I knew the guy--and I have no ties to UT--but I never really liked him. Talked a lot of shit, kept his name in the papers, but he didn't seem too personably to me. After one year were you sold so much on him as to really feel bad about his leaving?<br /><br />It could be a blessing in disguise.Chad Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774092046594256969noreply@blogger.com
