AJ had a rough night technology wise with his laptop dying. He will get all the content up from last night in a little while. Just wanted to let you all know. Thanks

Per UNC: Kobe Paysour will not play in the bowl game. He suffered the same injury on his other ankle.

It will be awhile before he's at full strength.

I know that there will be a post summarizing the performance of our incoming class. But this one is too good not to talk about. Crews Law had a beast of a game to get his team, Christ Presbyterian Academy into the state championship. He's a two way player. On offense, he scored FOUR touchdowns operating out of the wildcat. Since we all love the wildcat formation so much, I thought everyone would like to know that. On defense, where he will play for us, he had a team-leading 9 tackles. I can't wait to see this guy in Carolina Blue.

Okay, just getting settled here.

Long day with NSD stuff all morning, presser in CH today, and here.
