Rather than a dead program walking, I hope rather we are on a path, albeit long and windy and with some backtracking, to earning respect again.
Felt like as Coach Shaw was exiting and Coach TT coming in that the Tree was no longer feared nor even respected.
In fact, more likely to have doggy saunter up and micturate on the tree rather than have doggy respect the tree.
I thought the Colorado and Wash St games last season gave some glimmer of hope that respect might be able to be regained.
As did the Syracuse game this season.
I'm not expecting a win this weekend, but respect can still be earned in a defeat if tight fought with determination.
So we'll see if our path this weekend hopefully takes a step forward, not backward, towards respect the tree, as a milestone on the path towards the ultimate destination of Fear the tree.
