as we haven't been any good for any sustained period of time in about 20 years, i am all for unretiring any numbers. we (especially me and other die-hards) spend far too much time reminiscing about better days in the past. and, i think we still suffer to an extent from the belief that since our Buffs were great before that they automatically could be great again some day.
the program needs a complete reset of mentality. honor the past, acknowledge the greatness that was, but what are we doing, right now, right here, today, to get better? because we are at not relevant any more. we are a constant bottom feeder in a conference of soft teams.
we need a higher standard for the program in recruiting, in coaching, in support, everything.
there can be no sacred cows when you are looking up at some of the historically dog **** teams we are looking up to now.
