I feel like because we’ve been so dogshit for so long, suddenly becoming mid to good and being exposed to wider audiences has created this weird perception of us being anything other than one of the worst programs ever at this level lol

We’ve been a “basketball school,” my entire life. It felt good to finally feel like a “football school” too for a few years. There’s a reason we have the “that’s another Cyclone… FIRST DOWN!” Chant - we were genuinely so dogshit that we had to celebrate first downs instead of actually scoring lmao. Jimmy’s got me feeling much more secure than Rhoads did at least.
