    You fired Ernie Kent (good move) and then took too long to hire a replacement (bad move). Some of the kids that Kent recruited decided to transfer.

    I guess they figured they could steal a top-flight coach like Tom Issel, but they were wrong.

    I am not a hater, and I think it looks aweful. Hopefully it translates better on tv.

    More importantly than my opinion though is the opinion of 16-17 years old kids. My 15 year old nephew thinks it's the coolest thing in the world, and he is from Seattle and will be a Husky.

    very valid point! even at my age I can get the "You hoodlum whippersnappers"... "get off my lawn" "Back in my day" attitude.

    Take the uniforms for example. The traditionalists, and people who have been around for a while make fun of them non-stop. But the kids are absolutely eating them up, and they love it.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There was a backlash to the uniforms as well, but now people love them. I kind of wish they had used green instead of gold, but hey, whatever works...

    It would certainly be more appropriate, and attractive, than the dirty-diaper color they chose.

    Yeah, that was actually my first impression when I saw the court. I thought it should be green.

    It's like an NBA arena on a smaller scale. Too bad the team is going to blow!
