The First Domino Has Fallen

[Mk63NuclearBomb]

Having played and coached both football and track (as well as basketball and baseball) I know that the cost of dressing a track team is crushing. Those expensive tank tops, short shorts and shoes must cost almost as much as.......... hmm, a helmet? No. Shoulder pads? No. Pants? Getting warmer. Well, there must be some excuse.

I remember when the best high school football teams also had great track programs.

I just hate that schools are cutting programs instead of asking everyone to tighten their belts. If clemson can't come up with enough cuts to keep track and xc viable, the AD should be fired into the sun. Dabo's annual salary alone is enough to increase the budget by 10% and STILL fully fund the team through 2024.

They really needed to do this with the B1G, Pac-12, MWC, etc... starting so late. The Pac-12 doesn't play their first game till next week!

I don't think his death was Covid-19 related, but I'd like to mention the passing of Sir Sean Connery. He was my favorite James Bond, for sure. May he rest in peace.

Absolutely the quintessential "Bond, James Bond."

IMHO, the Jackrabbits or Coyotes of USD should have been involved in the first place.

The Jacks are playing Northern Arizona there the following Monday according to the Pentagon schedule.

If I could get in- and the Pentagon will probably be restricted for their numbers- I'd go to see Memphis. I've seen all the other teams play at some time or another. Rumor is that South Dakota State will replace Utah.
