I feel a great sense of sadness for the players who will have to live
with the results of poor management and direction, and this buck should
rest on Walsh's desk.  This is one BU fan who feels no desire to
gloat--college sports should be, but too often are not, about character
building and healthy competition.  As the Olympic$ are happening it just
seems like another depressing development.  On topic here-an indication
for me of whether Maine "gets it" will be whether Walsh returns.
