He shopuld be back by the Fall and in the meantime, someone else can step up and get some reps. Nothing wrong with depth.

I guess so, VolCane. He's making them practice too hard. What a terrible coach.

Bad luck, Jeff. McVeigh will take care of it if you do what he says.

It WAS Fulmer's fault that Cottam got hurt. Fulmer caused Chernobyl, too. Look it up.
