I agree on all fronts atkins. Being a DePaul fan and alum, I would have embraced him totally but being a Valpo fan now, part of me did not want him taking the job for selfish reasons. I see myself, with my coming here and daughter enrolled and at every game, a Valpo fan. I had a crush on this university when I came to games and met the fanbase, I then fell in love. When my daughter wanted to come here for a visit and shunned DePaul, I had no problem whatsoever. Why? Because this University instills Christian values (which is so far greater than any of us) that I grew up with and and DePaul no longer has. Her decision made me proud and as a result, through her, I am woven into the tapestry that is Valpo U!!!!
But we have to be prepared as a fanbase that at anypoint he could be gone. It is not fair to him either. What we can trust is that if he does go, he us prepared to succeed at any level. And leave a succession plan in place as well.
