    That is a nice way to put that we had former coaches and players trying to bring down the program because Raffo didn't get the job. Is there any other program that had to deal with that? I really can't remember it happening anywhere else. I know Bobby Bowden got a little pissed off but he wasn't campaigning for people to leave the program and alumni to stop supporting it.

    Not in college baseball at least. I take great personal satisfaction in knowing that Polk was wrong though. We were at a crossroads when Polk left- we could either choose to be competitive or choose to cater to old croonies. Byrne and MSU made the right choice- and it greatly affected ALL MSU athletics down the road.
