Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 46870, member: 204"] Yeah, I remember thinking that you were actually upset that the Orange had won because there had been talk that a loss - and a reulsting 5-7 record would have sealed P's SU coaching fate. You do remember meeting just outside the Sheraton bar after the game, don't you? I have a friend from IU who graduated late, had a very low GPA, and switched majors three or four times. He ended up getting a job in Houson in 1981 - stayed there for two years and then took a job waiting tables at the Spaghetti Factory in Indianapolis. He eventually got a job selling orthopedic equipment. In five years he was a part owner of the company - knew as much about orthopedic surgery as most of the surgeons he met and is now a multi-millionaire. I have another friend who took seven years - [B]seven years![/B] - to graduate from dental school. He is now considered one of the finest dentists in his area and has been asked by the IU Dental School to become a member of its Board of Trustees. Like I said, it's always dangerous to assess another person's intelligence on the fly. Guaging IQ on the basis of graduation dates is not the best way to measure much of anything. As other posters have observed, the SU offense is not a lot of fun to watch. I prefer a more open approach - I liked the Spence offense a lot for gosh sakes and when it was cooking I loved the DeLeone offense with its options and misdirection. And, I love a running QB. That's why I hope that JFK or Hunt can develope quickly. I also agree with those who feel that our talent level is not strong enough to simply pound the ball. But I don't presume to know enough about the x's and o's, however, to declare that Marrone is implementing the wrong scheme. I suspect that he is using a system that gives the team the best chance to win. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you're right. I suspect that when we see more athleticism at QB and WR we will see a much more open approach. [/QUOTE]
