I would also like to point out that Nick Sheridan is, as I am, a Saline Hornet. 

It's the reason - the only one - that, through it all, I had a soft spot for the man.

I mean, what is there not to like about him? I don't recall that he was in any way controversial. He was a player of modest ability who was thrust into a tough situation, but that wasn't his fault. He wore the winged helmet, he graduated, his dad coached here. Saline or no Saline, why wouldn't you have a soft spot for him?

Eh... I actually hold the players who played in those days (at least the ones who stuck around and didn't trash the program to the media, anyway) in even higher regard. Those were tough times, and the guys who stuck it out and competed deserve a ton of credit.

Brandon Graham is one of my all-time favorite players, for example. He basically willed himself into the first round despite playing on a terrible defense led by terrible coaches.

courtney morgan was also director of personnel (or some such title) here in 2020 (i think - might've been 2019?)  his departure was, if i recall correctly, a big surprise and bummer.
