We (USF) get so little positive coverage by sports columnists, so it's frustrating when we get lampooned the day after a big win in the Big East tourney. He could have at least waited until USF got booted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the crutch of someone who wants to sound like a person worth taking seriously, but doesn't have any knowledge of the subject at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
