While all of the Debbie Downers and Negative Nancy's are throwing stones from the peanut gallery (many who post on this board wailing about lack of recruiting success and saying over and over he has to have a big year in his 2nd year as head coach or he's history), Barry has been quietly rolling up his sleeves and working to make this program so much better than what it was. I agree. Hats off to Mr. Odom and his staff for ignoring the wailers and whiners and quietly doing his job.
THE MAN IN THE ARENA
Excerpt from the Theodore Roosevelt speech "Citizenship In A Republic"
delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
