With the hiring of former NFL head coach Jerry Glanville, Portland State has hit the football jackpot. They've already sold three times as many season tickets, compared to last year, and they are getting consistent national media coverage.
You can't pay enough for the kind of attention Jerry brings to the program, as it raises money for the program and makes PSU more competitive in the recruiting war with behemoths Oregon and Oregon State.
But that's not the most important part, because the guy happens to also be a brilliant coach. His 3-4 defense will make the Vikings a force to be reckoned with, possibly taking them to their first National Championship.
I think I'm going to go buy some tickets now before they sell out their September 8 home opener against UC Davis.
