Nov. 10 is Homecoming. Hence the rumor that we will have a new coach by Homecoming.

Mob boss Orsini did spend 10 years with Jerry, and collected a couple of Super Bowl rings!

A man thinking outside the box. Getting a waiver to recruit? Who ever heard of that?!? Maybe we did hire that druid/wiccan/witch doctor already to get the evil spirits out!
