During the Covington years of four decades ago (yikes,) Division I was still relatively small and most of the programs that would be classified today as DI mid-major were playing in D2. Those players from the seventies were definitely superior to the guys on Slocum's roster today. And there is evidence of that: a win against Pittsburgh and a 2 point loss to a number two ranked West Virginia.
Ah yes, Jerry Slocum....the invincible man. Since Stollo has been the athletic director, he has fired two football coaches, hired and then fired two amazingly incompetent women's basketball coaches, fired John Robic, and fired a large sample of Olympic program coaches. Yet Slocum endures....a testament to something, but I have no idea what.
On a more positive note, the women struggled against a bad team but prevailed again today. For those that do not know, they have suffered unbelievable season ending injuries to three starters, including their two best players. Forced to play many freshmen, they will be good again next season, assuming that the injured all heal properly.
