Re: Shulga is back

I for one am really glad he is back.

He has good size and athletic ability. He also had a lo...

Part of what you are saying I agree with. USU is bigger than any coach. Craig Smith can go wherever he wants, that is his right. However since he chose to go to the enemy, he becomes the enemy. There is no wishing him well or hoping for even the slightest success. There is only the perpetual goal o...
