[QUOTE='78;n249105]Pell's the guy who really changed things and got things going, and it began with increased support from boosters. Soon the stadium went through a number of expansions closing in both ends. The facilities in general went through an upgrade. The campus took on more of a bigtime feel. Tennis, baseball, golf, swimming, track ... they were already good and they got better. We became more national in our focus as well as the interest from outside. Arnsparger addressed crises with both the football and basketball programs and the net-net was Spurrier and Kruger, a pretty good net if you ask me.

We shouldn't take anything away from Foley, but anyone who thinks this was mainly his creation simply doesn't have a good grasp of history.[/QUOTE]

Nice post.
