Tough crowd

To the editor:

While reading Chuck Woodling’s column (Jan. 27) about KU’s Gridiron Club, I was stunned when I came upon his comments aimed at new football coach Turner Gill. Is Mr. Woodling a psychic? Is he a fortune teller? How can he know that Mr. Gill is a “triple and probably more of a ground rule double” hire? Why is Mr. Woodling attacking Mr. Gill before he has even been given a chance? Mr. Woodling, are you mean-natured or just having a bad writing day? Mr. Gill, I have not met you, but I believe in you. Good luck in Lawrence; they can be a tough crowd to please.
