"Boonedoggle" aside, Cha...Agree entirely. "Boonedoggle" aside, Chancellor Dan did GREAT things for DU. If not for him, we'd still be in debt, we wouldn't have D-1 athletics, we'd certainly not be tying a bow on a capital campaign, and almost half our campus wouldn't be brand-spankin-new. <br /><br />Even if he looks like Mr. Burns and had an assistant who looks a lot like Smithers (whatever happened to Smithers, anyway - is he still in DU administration?), Ritchie was one of the best things to happen to Pio-nation.

I thin...Not enough good can be said about Ritchie. I think some people have their issues with how he handled the athletic department, but without him there might not be an athletic department. Under his leadership DU went from a below average trust fund school to a top national performer and one of the elite colleges in the rocky mountain region.<br /><br />He was a true Pioneer. Great man. I just wish one of the two guys that will be in Magness tomorrow night could do 1/100 for the country as what Ritchie did for DU.<br /><br />Is it too early for Ritchie/Boone 2016 bumper stickers? (I know he tried to kill Boone, but that ticket will unite the masses). Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
