One of the responses to Hack's column (and I agree):

Quote: 1. Someone should have had the guts to stand up in the post game news conference and say "I don't believe you". And I'll bet a buck that everyone in that news conference that heard Campbell's words were thinking that very thing , "I don't believe you". Just once I'd love to see one of these coaches called on the carpet.

2. I'll flat out make the accusation - Toledo WAS NOT mentally ready to play because their head coach wasn't mentally ready to play.

3. This happens year after year, coaches leave before the season is over. Campbell had a contract. Toledo still has a game to play. Why is their no NCAA rule - no contact until the season is over (whenever that is)?

4. As far as Iowa State being a tough gig, so what? Campbell can make his millions over his five year contact and be set for life. All he has to do is show up to get paid (for all five years no less) - kind of like he did last week.

HAH! That poster used to be the rugby coach at BGSU and was my junior high science teacher!

Steven Harrington, the last poster to comment on that article cracked me up trying to suggest that UT's comatose performance on Friday may have been due to the weather conditions rather any failure on the part of the coaching staff to have the team prepared to play. He implies that he is a UT fan, but it is hard for me to believe that anyone who saw that game could have failed to see that the Rockets forgot to show up in what arguably their most important game in over a decade given the stakes involved------and that it had very little to do with the weather.
