Will they or won’t they? That is the question. Or is it more Who cares if they do or Who cares if the don’t?
I would be firmly planted in that last group.
I’m still trying to get used to this blogging thing even after 2 and a half years into it. Not sure what works and what doesn’t and not sure what to share and what to leave out. Sometimes I’d like to talk about more than just sports. I know it’s all people are used to me being, a sports cartoonist, doing mostly local Colorado cartoons with the occasional (two times a week at least) national sports cartoon thrown in for good measure.

This is beyond ugly. This is an horrific example of the worst slime and sleaze that can happen in sports at any level. It will be interesting to see how the NCAA deal with this. Miami is big money to the NCAA and it’s televised audience.
