51 years old here and lifelong central New Yorker. Like so many of you my fandom started very early in life. I grew up poor and never attended a game until my senior year in high school. But we never missed a game. The radio was always dialed in and everyone knew to be quiet so as not to disrupt my dads ability to hear what was going on. We lived and died with the outcome of games. Family conversations were always focused on the players and coaches and next game. Many of the highest moments and lowest moments of my life have been tied to this program. In 87 I cried myself to sleep after we lost to IU. In 03 I cried tears of joy in the superdome after we won it all.

Yesterday was a bag of mixed emotions but mostly a sense of relief. This change was coming. We all know it had to be done. I wish coach had a farewell tour but obviously that’s not what he wanted. I wish he wanted that.

I wish Coach the very best in his next chapter. I hope he spoils Julie and has a blast jet setting around the world.
