    I like Holmoe, when I stopped giving to the Cougar Club every year he called me and we talked for about 45 minutes. He asked me if the CC President called me and asked would I give them one more chance? I told Holmoe that because of the impression he had made with me that I would, I got a call from the CC about 4 months later it was Mike Middleton and he said "I'm just calling to check in, I'm really busy today but I'll call you later. Have a good day." That was the last time I heard from anyone, that was in 2007.
    I don't doubt that happened, however Middleton has always been good about getting back to us. Of course my brother can be real persistent, so I imagine that is part of it.

    I talked to TH about a few things a few years ago. It's pretty clear he can't do much without approval from higher ups, at least that is how it seemed back then. I don't bug him or Mike with my thoughts, because there isn't much they could do about it anyway, even if they agreed with me.

      You know what? When a program gets hit with major sanctions I don't look to see if the head coach claims he was kept in the dark and fed horse shit like a mushroom. I don't care. Notice that some coaches never get in this kind of trouble, even with ardent sports fan alumni. I have no doubt it wouldn't have happened at Cal with a different coach. I have no idea if Pete Carroll knew about USC's infractions, but I think he should be debarred. It sickens me he's the Seahawks' coach.

        Utah had a choice and this is one of the consequences. Fans such as SU, rendered irrelevant, must resort to heinous and potentially even libelous behavior to continue to feel relevant.

            Hamburgergate was Majerus' fault. But the infractions were not in the same class as what happened with Holmoe.

              I'm sure you have no idea what you're talking about. For starters, clearly you don't understand libel.

                LOL I admire your underdog fight. How many times did you scream for McBride to be disbarred?

                    You mean things like practicing well in excess of the hours allowable by the NCAA? That was DIRECTLY under Majerus' control.

                      How does Dr. Hill stay employeed with these types of questionable morals and leadership skills?

                      In citing Utah for lack of institutional control, the NCAA issued a long list of violations, including an instance of academic fraud in the football program after a tutor wrote papers for two football players.

                        He should be disbarred. It makes me sick that he's the AD at Utah.

                          I was all for firing McBride. You could tell by the number of personal fouls his teams were called for that there was a serious lack of institutional control. He could recruit, but was a players' coach. Always a problem. Hill should be faulted for firing him about three years later than he should have.

                                I got into terrible fights with AncientUte and a guy name BleedsRed and others who defended McBride. I doubt the posts are on Utefans. I really did not much like McBride, especially the last few years, and for the very reason that the sanctions reflect. He was a players' coach; always a problem.
