It's an honor and privilege to at least temporarily represent the university as athletic director, ... My job is to continue as best I can the program Ted Leland has developed over a period of time. The heritage that exists in the athletic department and the history cross my mind. |
It's desperation, really, when you see players try to coach a rookie quarterback. It only adds to the confusion. |
It's going to take fans to a whole new level of fantasy, |
It's gotten worse and worse, and the coaches and personnel people are more and more willing to take huge men that are grossly overweight, and just hope that size will take care of everything else. |
