Cooley(N Tx Sport Net),
I like Cooley have had the good fortune of watching Dan Spika's teams in the Valley in the the 'OLD SNAKE PIT' and much as I love this team it would in the top 5, but certainly not the best. My only difference in his assessment and mine would I would say because of his value to his team, Hamlet =Johnson the rest is correct. The only problem during the Blakeley era was going independent in ALL sports, because it almost destroyed non-football sports (football 'had the INDEPENDENCE BOWL as a carrot')the other sports didn't have a CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP to play for. The VALLEY was the ACC/ BIG EAST of the day. If the 3 point shot had been in effect the scoring would've been astronomical for that team and JOE HAMILTON/CREST WHITAKER teams(Dan Spika) full court pressing and the SNAKE PIT GOING CRAZY! I love what this team has accomplished and yes in the TOP 5, just my 2 cents. GO MEAN GREEN
