Gut, you are spot on. Granted I think fighting for the job made Towles a better player.

Also, I don't see why everyone is hating on Stoops. What he had done in a short amount of time with purely underclassman is remarkable. The program is moving in the right direction. Granted we are probably 2 years out from seeing the major fruit of labor. Today, you saw a hop in the step, confident men battling for one another who believe in one another. The atmosphere with the changes in music was a nice change. Not saying we are going to win the SEC but I don't think we will be the doormats much longer.

No one is hating on Stoops, he has put more life in the program than has been there in along time. I put all my frustration right at the feet of BARNHEAD who is so desperate that he give raises for 2 win seasons.
