Football - Bad News Coming?

Well, rumors have been circulating that our Defensive Line could be taking a major hit. We already know that Daryl Richard has been lost for the season. Now there are rumors circulating on the boards that we could lose 2 more starting D-Linemen, one to injury and one to academics - Travis Parker and Joe Anoai. This would certainly be a crushing blow to the hopes of the team and to fans. However, it seems that nothing is a "done deal", and we just need to wait to see what happens. The path forward for the injury situation is under consideration and one option is to play less than 100%. The academic thing is early also, since this semester is still finishing up and there is summer session to bring up grades.......So I wouldn't lower expectations quite yet. Let's wait to see what comes out in the coming weeks. Don't panic............. There could be some help on the way, if a certain OB gets a 6th year of eligibility granted. That process is underway as well.....
