I thought the article portrayed we are pulling out of the nose dive.

It gave enough to know that everyone from WB to Fu to Ballein to various bean counters had a hand in why the program slide so bad. But it also gave enough to show the ship is being righted and the future of the program is looking brighter. More funding, better facilities, improved staff support, coaches getting recruiting on a bit of an upswing, etc. It left me with the impression the mistakes of the past are being addressed and there's better hope for the future. In the age of needing to put a best foot forward so we can somehow have a seat at a big boy table in the conference realignment game of musical chairs, the article left me with a "so your telling me there's a chance!" impression for the future. I get the posters that are unhappy with it. It aired VT dirty laundry and does have a bad look for what happened behind closed doors. It's embarrassing. And E(SEC)PN has earned the reputation for tearing others down to make it's darlings look better. Sometimes the only thing that gets the dirty laundry thrown out is to shine a light on it, though. Overall, I didn't think it was a hit piece and was glad to see it.
