A Detailed Look Into The Athletic Department's Struggle To Become Self-Sufficient

Well, well, well what do we have here, another story from Iamthe12thman.com bashing Bill Byrne. Honestly, it is getting very tiresome to pull up the site everyday almost expecting some sort of Bill Byrne tear down piece.

Here is my question, what does Beergut want?

Does he want a return to the days of mediocrity? You have to spend money in major college athletics.

I am not claiming that BB needs to win AD of the Year or anything, but I can also see positives in what he has done. Beergut seems to think that BB has been a 'complete failure,' I adamantly disagree.

Has BB done everything right? NO.
Has BB done everything wrong? NO.

The answer, as it is so often in life (and even more often in politics) is somewhere in the...wait for it... in the MIDDLE.

Let's go back to the days of John David Crow, who wouldnt listen to anyone and set our Athletic Department back 10 years and while Texas and Oklahoma were circling the wagons for their rise to the top, we were stuck in neutral and left in the dust.

You see, Beergut is much like today's right wing extremist, they act as if on Jan. 21st our economy and everything just went into the shitter.

Beergut acts as if, when Bill Byrne took over our athletic department we were at an all-time high as far as revenue and an all-time low as far as expenses. He forgets that their was a reason we were in the market for hiring an athletic director.

The grass, apparently, is always greener for Beergut.
