When we have a good football team, everybody wants to go the stadium to watch the battles in the gridiron. I happen to think that if we had packed just one thousand more people in Hanner consistently, the men's and women's team could have done better this year. And for those of you who made it to the games, I know you got fired up when you saw Coach Polinsky waving his hands up in the air, trying to pump up the team as well as the crowd. Or when Tori Durrett would drive toward the basket and drop the shot in and get the whistle with it. But, there are other sports that people may find more interesting.
Football comes to mind.
That certainly should present coach Donnan with a wide variety of fine athletes. The good recruiting is definitely due to the fact that he took an inconsistent football team that was used to achieving greatness and brought them back to that level. It was fun watching the Dawgs again. I mean, Georgia beat Florida for goodness sake. The Eagles didn't have too bad of a recruiting year either.
