Scout wrote this fine article about Urban and his first year as a head coach at BGSU.  I'm still holding onto hope that Ramzy will be releasing an even better one later this week.

It's the Meyer we all know and love, just a younger version.

And there will still be a photo splashed with orange in the Meyer home in Dublin. The 2001 Bowling Green team photo, a picture of the team that came together and made it all possible for Meyer, still hangs in the family home – and for good reason. What if I told you that if any team brings the accomplished close to tears, it’s that undermanned squad from northwest Ohio 15 full seasons ago? 

“It’s always one of the first photos that goes up in my house,” Meyer told The Blade in 2013. “That’s probably the team I stay in touch with as much as anybody, maybe more. Those guys, the thing that I appreciated most is nowadays, it’s all about the media. It’s all about, I got one T-shirt, why didn’t I get two? There was no expectation level, other than a group of kids that I found out wanted to win in the worst way. 

“And to this day ... when I see them, I tear up sometimes because I love these guys so much."
