Media guys spend a lot of time ripping teams, programs, coaches, and players. We love to laugh at failure. It makes us feel smarter. Not today.

by Kent Sterling What happened to the days when coaches were obviously stooges who said and did the wrong thing so often that we couldn’t believe a conscious athletic director would continue to employ him.
