Oh, start of the week, how I loathe you. Just a few days ago it was cold beers and HD sports, now here we sit at a desk writing things that matter, solving problems that don’t, and generally counting down the hours until I am reunited with my first sexy love, the weekend, instead of [...]

Each and every fall the optimism that surrounds a football program is considerable. It doesn’t matter how the last season went, doesn’t matter who went to the NFL, graduated or transferred.
