They brought the program back to prominence with heavy high quality recruiting and talent development. They have a bunch of seniors coming off the roster though, so those bitches in Athens and Tempe have a good shot to claw their way to the top again.

Masterpiece of Jesus destroyed as woman attempts to restore it
A Spanish woman ended up destroying a 19th century portrait of Jesus Christ as she attempted to restore the damaged religious masterpiece herself.
The plaster portrait titled 'Ecce Homo' painted by Elias Garcia Martinez had begun to crumble owing to damp and was set to be repaired by professionals thanks to a donation from the artist's granddaughter.
However, the 80-year-old woman decided to restore the masterpice herself, which was admired by worshippers at the Sanctuary of Mercy Church in Zaragoza, Spain, for more than 120 years.
Without consulting the Church authorities, she marched in with oil paint and brush, and started working on her own private restoration project, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
Quite what she thinks of her handiwork has not been disclosed. But her fellow worshippers are horrified. Her botched effort has infuriated locals and art experts in the country.
The 120-year-old fresco, Ecce Homo by Elijah Garcia Martinez, has been transformed into something which looks more like a movie werewolf.

Well, for what it's worth, the second one may well be a closer representation to what Jesus looked like anyway. He sure as shit did not look like the first version.

I saw a somewhat disturbing yet somehow amusing placard at some shitty thrift store the other day. It was a framed piece of paper with what appeared to be burned edges (classy) that read: "I asked Jesus, 'how much do you love me?' and he answered 'This much', and he spread out his arms... and died." The whole thing is just kind of creepy to me, but at the same time I couldn't help chuckling...
