Re: RUMORS: Hassan Out Multiple Weeks with Knee Injury?

Find it strange that not one news source has even mention it. Pretty sure if Rhody15 heard about, it's not locked in the vault. This type of news leaks, and blows up on Twitter... I'm not sold its true, hope I'm right.

Re: Jim Baron 2.0

How true is the Hassan story? Rhody15 posted it, but no one I know at the college has heard of this. He may be right, but Hassan did an interview last night talking about how they all are excited to get back on track against ODU. Hope he's ok.
