Clay Travis has said all the negative news lately is "the Fulmer curse" but I say it is the Hamilton curse it seems everything Hamilton touched turned to shizzle.
Negative news? WTF is he talking about? The news from the NCAA is POSITIVE! I was scared to death we were going to get the absolute shizzle hammered out of us. I almost think OSU and Miami did us a favor.
We are out from under the NCAA cloud, recruiting is going great, and prospects of improving over last season look pretty good also. Football-wise, I don't know what else we could ask for.
I am not phased by Janzen Jackson. I thought he should have been gone long ago and didn't necessarily expect him to make it through the season. We have a talented secondary even without him IMO.
As for Pat, I don't count that as "bad news" in a SPORTS sense. That's bad news in her personal health, which is far more important than anything that could happen to our sports program. I feel for her and her family, but I don't take it as bad news for the University or athletic department. IMO the impact on her and her family is far more of import than anything that happens to the program that might affect me as a fan. And I am definitely not implying that you or anyone else views that differently, just saying I don't lump that in with things like Janzen getting kicked off the team or wins and losses, etc.
Anyway, getting back to my original point...I don't really see a whole lot of bad news, here, today on August 25. Over the last 2-3 years, yes, tons of bad stuff, but it started when Fulmer was still here. But Clay is out of his mind if he thinks anything this summer compares to fall of 2008, Jan 2010 or April of this year.
