I think the important thing to remember is that Coach Walsh brought a
national championship to Maine and proved that one year was enough college
for the Ferraros and certainly Maine gets enough mention everytime one thinks
of Paul Kariya. Some faculty types might get upset- but this is about sports.
This was Maine's finest moment as a university other than when it won the
1965 Yankee Conference football title and went to the Tangerine Bowl and had
a player go to the NFL.
 
As to BU- they have eliminated football and ultimately will rue the day they
ended a 91 year tradition (SI got Pres. Silber good)
 
BC- great place- how can anyone knock Flutie- he played hockey and was told
he was too small and then became a quarterback and is now in Canada (where
they limit Americans- unlike here- where heck they can all come- and he is
still winning Grey Cups or whatever they do in that 3 down league where it
snows in August.
 
Eliminate the academic requirements and level the playing field! Think of the
hypocrisy that would end. (On a serious note- has anyone ever thought about
the time D! athletics consumes and how unrealistic it is to expect the
players to be real students)
 
Dump Silber- bring back football!
