WE BACK! I SAID OH YEAH, WE BACK! Big bro TVP and I are pleased to reprise our roles as purveyors of POAPS to the Backing the Pack masses. Because there is nothing that a State fan loves more than pure, unadulterated hope tied up in the form of a coach that we will inevitably fire in 5-7 years. So without further ado…
Today’s possible savior: Archie Miller, who is 38 and in his sixth season as head coach at Dayton. We all remember Archie, the face of the pre-Julius Hodge years of the Herb Sendek era, a scrappy, diminutive point guard who notably led the Pack (along with Anthony Grundy and a young Hodge) back to the NCAA tournament in the 2001-2002 season for the first time since the 1990-1991 season.
