Got a bit of a soft spot for a school that still thinks defense, discipline, and teamwork can overcome inequality in sheer talent. Snyder did perhaps the best coaching job anywhere in using the talent he had, to lift a terrible program into becoming a respectible one. Besides it confounds the Whorn fans to apoplexy (mixed with incontenence) to explain how it is, that he "owns" UT.
