Without any question I feel sorriest for Cody and Brock and Brett and the other guys who came back. They are working their butts off and representing the University with pride -- but it should have been so much more than that this year. For me as a fan I resent being alienated from a program I loved and supported in every way possible for many years. But as a fan, I can just stay away and hope that it's a program I can be proud of again some day. What choice did they have? Every player that realistically could leave, did.

At least they have learned an important life lesson: when people are promoted beyond the level of their competence, it's the people whose lives they affect or control or are responsible for that suffer.
