I really miss all the marketing, sales, and creative ideas we got from Byrne and Stricklin.....maybe Cohen is still learning the ropes, but haven't seen anything impressive out of his camp since taking over.....and those god awful bleachers by the M Club i saw just yesterday gave me "come on cohen, you can do better than that"......
Winning in football and basketball is the best marketing plan you can draw up. 5-7 with blowout losses @ home to Auburn & Arkansas plus the USA debacle to kick off the season did not exactly have everyone reaching for their pocketbook. Basketball has been a disaster for almost a decade. Winning trumps all.
