They did everything possible to discredit the University and program. Absurd accusations of racism, constant attempts at minimizing the accomplishments of Weis' first two teams, blatant misrepresentation of the ineptitude of Willingham and staff during their tenure, you name it. Then came 2007 - sure, Weis did himself no favors that season, but the network in question made an all-out attempt to squash us. I've never seen anything like it.
The worst of their offenders are largely gone, but for those who were following it at the time, it's unforgettable. You're right, they're a necessary evil, but they can never be trusted.
