Christmas presents
December 25, 2007
Here’s what I’m thinking some Troy coaches would like for Christmas
Larry Blakeney - head football coach
1. A raise
2. Raises for his assistants, and the ability to keep most good ones for more than a year or two
3. A bowl game
4. A quarterback for next year (and a running back and a couple of cornerbacks)
Don Maestri, head basketball coach
1. A raise
2. Raises for his assistants
3. A new arena
4. A 6-foot-8, 250-pound behemoth down low
Bobby Pierce, head baseball coach
1. A raise
2. Raises for his assistants
3. Facility improvements, well Santa brought that, how bout some pitching?
4. A third straight NCAA Regional berth
