Their lab school used to do this sometimes.

No one would show up to practice, but would be there on Fridays. The coaches were helpless because they had to field a team.

If we're going to be so obtuse as to insinuate that an entire's university's fate should be tied into a footballs team's actions, then LSU should have shut down after Jamie Howard's last int during the '94 Auburn game.

If I was the AD, I'd cut the entire team, forfeit the next game and take an entire team of walk ons for the game the week after. frick that shite. It's Grambling. I'd be dammed if some Division II or III or whatever they are, SWAC team was gonna pull some bullshite like that.

Grambling's men's basketball team went 0-28 last season.

The dumbass AD was the entire reason they did it. He'd be compounding his frickup at that point.

Yeah the players aren't necessarily right for doing this but the 1-45 record between football and basketball since last fall tells you the problems go a lot deeper.

Everyone I know who is in a hiring position, sees a resume with Grambling on it and throws it in the trash.

Yeah the AD is screwing everything up over there. A couple of practices into the season he fired 2 position coaches because they were over budget. Just told the 2 coaches newest to the staff to hit the road. Doug Williams had to fight to get them back before the season started. The AD is a huge frick up and completely screwed the athletic budget up.

I feel bad for Ben Wilkerson having to go to that shite hole.
