As an SDSU Alumni, I have continued to follow the Aztecs through every painful losing season. Nonetheless, I still enjoy the fact that we have Division I football in our fair City. And when I reflect on the salad days when Don Coryell was at the reigns and that team racked up 104 wins, 19 losses and 2 ties during his twelve years with the organization, I have hope again. Each season brings promise that the next Don Coryell (well, there never really will be another Coach Coreyll) will step onto the field at Qualcomm and restore the program's reputation. In the meantime though, I'm just glad Chuck Long finally got his walking papers after one of the most brutal seasons in Aztecs history.
However, worse than any losing season, is the very real specter that College Football and College Bowl games will soon be a thing of the past in San Diego.
