    I'm have to apologize to Adam West for having his last name put down, because of a coach who can't win. Tommy, time to get out. If the U of M spent all that money for a good BBall coach, I'm sure they can spend the same for a good football coach.

    darius got screwed on the last drive, he was clearly in for the TD, which would have given him 4 tds on the day, instead we settled for the fg. That was also a fumble that Memphis had earlier too.

    Go Herd!!!
