The banter and discussion is great. Its shows interest. There must be hope. On a more serious note. Cayden Cochran’s house burned down in OK. His family is fine but they lost everything. I sit next to his parents at home games and they are fine people. Keep them in your prayers. Family, that is what is important.

Bottom line….the AD is a joke.
VSU deserves a LOT better.
