Re: FIRE COX
I admit that I was very pro DC in order to preserve the recruiting class once Hurley decided to jump ship, but as of today I'm literally updating twitter on the hour in hopes of seeing a post that we're moving on from him. What a disaster this has been! Poor lineup configurations, lack of accountabi...

Re: Jermaine Harris
To me Malik has been a disappointment in all phases of the game. I expect a consistent (not great) contribution from him. He is the only transfer that played a full year at the D1 level last year. I don’t see his great defense either. I hope he turns it around. I would agree with this statement if ...
