Engstrom

[Spanky]

GB1....you may be correct, however, I still suspect otherwise.

Engstrom is the UM President

UM would survive just fine without football

Football cannot happen without UM


....in the long term his decision will better us down the road. The priority of an academic institution is education and athletes are part of a larger vision. I believe we set a great example of how things - sportswise- are supposed to happen as part of the whole and not the tail wagging the dog.

Maybe the firings were not necessary or just, however, I believe Engstrom was told to terminate the two gentlemen. If you are complaining about Engstrom in general, you need to look no further than the manner in which he was hired which was nothing more than the standard Dennison back room deal without proper consideration given to other applicants and an ethical process of candidate interviews. Engstrom was hired in the classic good old boy manner which has become tradition at UM for all key positions with Dennison as the architect.

Engstrom was the Long Gunman, he was working alone. The few people who he had discussed this with on previous occaision all told he them were oppossed to this action.

As if you would know jack-sh*t about what went on behind the scenes. You are wannabee big shot that nobody at UM respects. Now change your Depends before it runs out of your mouth.

Interesting theory. Engstrom is Pinocchio. Geppetto is _________?

My impression is that Backer knows all of the people involved, and is pretty good friends with some of them. His information on this subject is probably as good as anybody's at this point.
