Three constants the last 5-10 years or so have been these guys. In the not too distant future, one or all of these guys will be gone. We've been lucky to have them and I will miss them even without a MACC in football. It will be interesting to see what happens on all fronts when the changes happen.

Ohio is set up pretty well as long as McDavis is in the president's chair. He's the guy making the commitment to athletics and taking the shots from local media (and by that I mean ridiculous Post articles), students, and faculty against athletics. Schaus has done some great things too and is a good leader, I'm actually surprised he has stuck around this long.

I guess you could call this somewhat of a Golden Era of Ohio athletics. Countless Volleyball MAC titles. Football and basketball have had great success in the last 10 years. Field Hockey is good. Baseball just won the MAC title. Women's basketball is on the rise. Really, what hasn't Ohio done well in at least one season?

I see the last 5 years as the new normal for the athletic department. Nationally the sports programs have made occasional headlines but the real story is consistency within the MAC. Any area that can be addressed on the recruiting front without spending a lot of money is addressed. Its a sports school attitude that wasn't there before.
