Apparently he needs a vowel movement.

he just walked into a great situation.
Soccer is an annual member of the top 25
Basketball is on the cusp of making a KSU like type run of going to the Dance
Football program on the upswing if for no other reason than they got a new stadium, recruits will commit.

Great hire. This is a lucky A.D. A lot of chances to pad his resume here.

He's young and wants to make a name for himself, and that is good thing for everybody involved. I hope that the University leaves the MAC.
