The Severed Cortex

  They say there is no such thing as bad publicity, but then again no one wants to see their corporate logo sitting upside down on a race track.  The important thing is that Daniel walked away unscathed which is pretty amazing given that he hit the wall… more »

I wasn't about to ring the Bulldog cowbell after beating lowly Jackson State 45-7.  There's Division I (BCS), there's Division I-AA (FCS), and then there is the SWAC.  Yes, the SWAC conference has put together some of the finest football programs in the… more »
