While I also believe we have two pretty good choaches, we must remember that they have totally different approaches (choaches with approaches) that are vastly different from previous choaching regimes and not only are they building from scratch, but a LOT of other changes are going on at the same time--infrastructure changes that leaves choaches having to tell recruits, "Just wait till this stuff is done! Looky here--here are some pictures of what it will look like" Choach Rodriguez is also facing a negative recruiting and negative press that has plenty of ammo and has been voracious in undermining what he has been trying to do--and much of it was beyond his control, like the infighting at UM HQ that is widely being rumored on some of the "pay sites." I think you worry first about real, visible improvement, wins and losses--a steadying of the ship, if you will, at first, beginning with a respectable record this year and a bowl game. As far as the national spotlight, UM hasn't been in a terribly positive national spotlight very much over the last decade other than some bowl victories, especially the Florida game. I do have one suggestion for the OP: There is a "message board" to post ideas that are more of the "fishing type"--such as this one. I mean, it's probably the same kind of thread you've (and 16 zillionty forty eleven hundred others) have started on Scout or Rivals, and it's probably the same question you've asked about 80 hundred forty gillion people on the street--so do it here, too! Diaries are sacred posting space, and space from which to get it right, or get plastered.

Needing to have 20 points to write diaries is one of my 2 biggest problems with the point system and by far the easiest one to fix. Not only do we get bad diaries but there have been some diaries that were posted as diaries instead of board topics just because the poster lacked the necessary points.
