Behind The Curve

Tee hee!

Think of the difference a day makes.

On Friday, September 1 Deion Sanders was the confident/arrogant new coach of a college football team that went 1-11 last year. He brought in eighty-six (86) new players ... so much for the concept of a student-athlete ... he was a day away from game one. He had, let's say, some "doubters".
