His bold and calculating comments about Turner Gill and his coaching ability were totally off the mark and way premature. More specifically his characterization of Gill being “overmatched as he thus far appears.” Tom has a short memory in that it was not too long ago a coach came to KU with no head coaching experience and made KU an exciting team to watch.

- In 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state by seceding from some secessionists: 50 counties, with few slaves, left Virginia, almost all of which have seams of coal. Barack Obama has a remarkable hostility to coal.
