re: I've figured out why I like Bert talking even when taking beatings

Well, I actually think that the negative part of his personality (Crap Talking) is what has brought good press along with the bad.

The recruits seem to love him period.

I have had several conversations with folks who think he sells this program and this university every single day. Perception can hurt, but it will be amazing when it gets turned around, if it does.

If it doesn't, well... it was a show while it lasted.
