It is apparently not the best day to be a head football coach with the initials C.W.

I’m not really sure where to even begin. First and foremost, the better team tonight won. I can’t blame it on officiating. I can’t blame it on freaky fluke luck.

It’s been a long spring and summer as we have all sat patiently and waited. And waited. And waited. Sure, there was recruiting. There was the Draft. There were spring games and fan jams and cookouts. All nice little appetizers to get us hungry for today. It’s been a long time coming, but it’s here. Finally. Mercifully.
