[NU Sports] my two cents

[Roy S. Lamberton]

1, Welcome Back B....

2. the defense really fell apart when Luis got hurt.

3. Murph has his guy for another year

4. 6-6 in my day would have led to a month long block party in front of Dyche.

Don't fall off the bandwagon, if you don't want your knees hurt....

Go Cats - Victorious over VA
