No doubts about that. Horrible leadership but Spook was a fine ball coach.

I was always a fan even during the "boot Spook" campaign. The Billy Murphy article in Calkins "After the Jump" is worth buying the book. (Your eyes my sweat a little )

Well.

We are G5 today.

I liked and respected Coach Murphy. He could have sent me packing my Sophomore year '77 after some late night drinking and foolishness in South Hall.

Thankfully, he didn't.

I hope he gets in,,Spook was a Coach, but he put us in the mo valley, that move really set the Football program back.
I never understood playing Football in the mo valley
