It’s the Fourth of July, and in the NIT world I think that makes us think of 2007 NIT Final Four appearer Air Force. Here’s a College Sports TV (remember that thing CBS used to run?) piece on that team as they approached the big month (kind of weird at the end would imagine that was some deceptive editing by CSTV):
Happy Fourth of July—Here’s to 2007 NIT Contender Air Force
OMG. I’ve been triggered.
After Bzdelik’s two successful seasons at Air Force and three only moderately successful seasons at Colorado, he became the head coach of my alma mater, Wake Forest. He proceeded to take a solid program and drive it into the ground. We never once finished higher than ninth in the ACC, and never notched more than six conference wins in a season.
The Bzdelik Era was among the worst and most painful things I have ever experienced.

Please, don’t go! They didn’t win the NIT! We aren’t praising him! Just reminiscing about what might have been.
