Academically does he know he is talking about San Diego STATE and not San Diego?
Since you're familiar with the program, how do you think Brady Hoke will do over at San Diego State?
TL: Here is the problem and here is what people don't know about that school and Brady Hoke is going to find out. That school, for whatever reason, I don't know why, they think they are the Stanford of Southern California. That school academically, they make it very hard for their student athletes to get through that. It's very, very difficult. And that's one of their big problems because they have enough of the pieces of the puzzle in place -- you're in Southern California for crying out loud -- you've got to go out and beat a Pac-10 team on some kids every now or then, and you cannot let Colorado State and Utah and those guys raid San Diego, and that's been their problem. But getting kids into school and keeping them in is much more difficult than people think.
Until that president and the AD start realizing that this isn't the Harvard of the West Coast, they're going to continue to struggle. If they figure out that they need to be doing what Boise and Fresno and San Jose and all them are doing, then San Diego State could be a sleeping giant. But they're not going to do that and that's the biggest issue.
