He is Neo to my Morpheus. I honestly believe he is the One. I've had the pleasure of watching him break film down. He is brilliant and a great teacher. Of course, he has to shoulder the blame for this year's putrid numbers, but I am convinced there were extenuating circumstances and your perfect storm analogy is spot on. If someone can somehow convince him to stay on staff, the athletic department will continue to get my legacy level support. If not, they'll have to earn it back by me bandwagoning back on due to great success.
Ty was my childhood hero. You don't do him the way he was done.
