Mark: Underrated. I'm not even holding Pepsi against him....;) I emailed him about that back when the decision was made, and he responded the same day with a great, thought-out response that detailed the business-side of things of why he felt they had to do it. Again, absolutely underrated. We all thought the John L bridge was gonna hold up; we can't hold that against him. Only bad notch, really, is what was about to be the Tommy Tuberville and Jim Grobe hires before we got Petrino. But frankly, our options were limited at the time.
The campus is in growth mode, our national PR is up, grades are up, almost all sports are trending up.
