Surprisingly, I don't have the sense of impending doom I thought I would by now. I'm not pumped up for the season or anything, but I don't feel like it's hopeless like I did two months ago.

I agree because he has some decent coaches on his staff and some decent recruits beginning the 2010 class

I hope OB just cheats his ass off until the NCAA runs his ass out of Manhattan. Just break all the rules. No holds barred. Nothing gets a fan base going and builds tradition like about 7 years of kicking ass and doing it with reckless abandon for the rules. See: USC, OU (Switzer/Stoops), LSU, 'Bama, Auburn, Tennessee. I could go on all day. Just &@#%ing get after it no matter what it takes. If I'm OB this is what I do.

I'd be down with that.

I'd be more excited with Ludwig and a Utah-style spread offense, but who am I kidding? It would've been a BS DoD offence anyway. I'm more excited for '10, assuming we dont magic our way out of Chris Harper. I'm excited about the running backs we brought in. Seems like there's bound to be one good offensive threat in that bunch.

Still a little skeptical. But he's won me over a little.

PowercatPat · June 11, 2009, 09:34:10 PM

Would still rather have Patterson, but not feeling as bad with Snyder.

cireksu · June 11, 2009, 09:46:31 PM

wait til he croaks on the sideline against CU.

Probably due to auto-erotic asphyxiation

PoetWarrior · June 11, 2009, 09:55:28 PM

He's Bill Snyder, dude.

Chingon · June 11, 2009, 10:17:43 PM

I am pumped.

Feeling good about the Oh-Nine Cats!

PowerKAT · June 12, 2009, 03:12:59 AM

He will bring us back to the promised land. Can't be any worse than the bs we went thru the past 3 yrs!

catfan28 · June 12, 2009, 07:51:56 AM

Wouldn't be surprised if Snyder out lives all of you.
~~The Hall of Fame~~ Heaven can wait!

Completely agree . . . Alabama has cheated their ass off, had one year of fairly harsh penalties but other than that they only had to forfeit some games, and get a good hard slap on the wrist. BFD

Definitely agree with this statement. I was very iffy at first, but with some good hires on the coaching staff and the start of the 2010 class, I think it might have been the best hire we could've made besides G-Patt.

I remember at the time it was Patterson or bust. Specifically, I remember thinking about how the fan campaign to get Huggins went. Emails, websites, etc all worked together in harmony to make it happen. Then Prince gets fired, and I think, look we can do it again! Emails get sent, etc, etc, and low and behold "It's Patterson". I'm all like "Power to the People" n crap. Testicles ripped off shortly thereafter.

dlew12 · June 12, 2009, 02:50:52 PM

I've held this sentiment all along.

You still don't get it do you?

Not only this but Bill is a saint inthe eyes of the NCAA. HE earned some deference, by the time thye caught up with him, he'd be retiring with his national championship ring.

Stupid Fitz · June 12, 2009, 10:07:05 PM

OB has lulled us all into his plan of mediocrity. Better than crapty I guess.
