Who?

Love that guy.

Ernie loved him. Wanted to keep him around.

Wonder if JL ever dug himself out of the million dollar + debt?

If you are not sure, Slappy was the MSU FB coach that worked at Cincinnati University in Ohio before moving to Fayetteville to coach for a travel team based in Arkansas.

Anyway, lots of good things being said about Slappy. Expectations are high, but I am not sure he can keep up. By my account, he is halfway through the RMAC schedule. I am pretty sure he plays Chadron next. However, some say he is still playing in last years schedule. Either way, he is going to have to play this teams actual schedule at some point and it seems like he will be way too tired to contribute. Thoughts?

He did. It was just the next level of frustration and SOS.
