We will return almost all our contributors next year. And they won't all even start. Amazing.

Ventriloquist?

Bahahahahahahahaha! Greatness.

just noticed that Jared Dubois is playing his 5th year. He played 4 years at Loyola Marymount and now playing a 5th. One year was abbreviated (only appeared in 6 games). Did he get a medical RS/waiver? anyone know?

2006-2007 we started 9-1 (not 10-1), but the proceeded to get smoked in conference play 3-13. Hope this season is nothing like that one...
