Re: Whaley out for Tulane (at least)

You never know the "real" reason - remember Darnell Burton?  Have 
you asked yourself why Pilgrim is in street clothes while Souleman
is dressed, even thought both ARE red shirting this year?

There are reasons that we may never find out.  I agree 100% with 
you are wrote this same post about BJ "The Michelin Man" Grove in 
the past.  Be glad we have Huggs as the coach and he is making 
every effort to break Whaley so that he gets in line by the time 
he is really needed.

Let's hope that this is motivation enough for Whaley to do whatever
it is that is keeping him from the game tonight.
