So if UT played VA, it would be the Biff & Griff Show?
Doesn't matter, and I have way better things to do with my time than review your posting history. Tone it down.

A lot of people on TSL are going to be really upset if he picks us and makes them look stupid for their Fu can't recruit rants. Or they'll just stick with the recruits don't count until they sign/get admitted/play/go pro defense.
