I did see there was an interview but have not checked it out yet. I will this afternoon. I would love to see an interview with Kerns on the season though. Do you think they will post one once Kerns' status is 100% set for the upcoming season?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 11:52 amWith this new a TIGMA endeavor, there will be plenty of ways to contribute without donating.

I am 100% willing to accept losing in football if we refuse to move down. I wanted us in FBS but if we can't compete here with our budget then maybe we should move back down. With inflation and all that is going on I just can't justify spending even more money on our program.

We can’t even spell check graphics (DEADLJNE) and place locations over the correct spot. It’s nit picking, but this is embarrassing. How does this get sent out?
