Grambling Tigers Team and Player Stats:
They say you gotta start somewhere. Well, my start was down at the bottom of the SWAC standings and a NET Ranking very nearly at the bottom of Division 1. Pretty disappointing, but I guess there’s now nowhere to go but up.
My AD expressed confidence in me, but I’m not sure how sincere that was. If next season is a repeat of this one, his support is sure to waiver.
Malik, my younger brother, called and said I should consider going to med school to become a proctologist since they spend all their time at the bottom also. He thanked me for saving him money since he didn’t have to buy tickets to the NCAA tournament to watch my team get humiliated…he saw plenty of that when he watched some of our games on TV. Malik just got accepted to law school, so I told him payback’s hell…because when he’s gotten his degree and lost a bunch of his first cases in court, I’ll be sure to give him a quick phone call. He said he’s not worried because by then I’d be outta my coaching job and living on the street unable to afford a cell phone. I told him I might be on the street but as a lawyer he’d be in the gutter and on his way to the sewer.
