To name but a few......I'm sure that I've left some people off of my favorites list......

Maybe sometime I'll list the biggest jerks that I worked with at Indiana State....leading the list would be........first name is Chris....and he now works at the University of Houston......: > )

Obviously, the biggest jerks would be more interesting. No surprises on the "good" list". I agree, Larry Gallo might have been something special had he stuck around. One sidenote.....there are a lot of BAD golfers on that list, that's for sure!

 

[TJames]

Gallo didnt have the support that Prettyman has now

that's why he didn't stay around for very long. He was promised support from the higher-ups, but he didn't get it.

Your absolutely right. The addition of Dr. B. to RP's world may mean tht he might stay for awhile. Imagine reporting to Dr. Ramey. Man, they saw the light there! They (DB-RP) are a GREAT TEAM! Hopefully I will catch up with you sometime. Lots of football alums coming in this weekend. Will be fun.

Oh well, he was still a pretty nice guy. Just had bad retention, I guess.

 

[TJames]

he's an old baseball player...lol....

maybe a few too many concussions....lol....but he was a great guy......he told the higher-ups at isu.....you promised me direct access to the president with no middle men...and i got middle men.....so goodbye....lol......
