[Vision2020] Vandal PRIDE *S*

[Wayne Price]

Carl,

The really sad part is that this comes on the heels of winning a  
football game, not loosing one!

And clearly, tossing 17 players "knowing that it would have an  
extremely negative impact on on the field success" obviously didn't  
have a negative impact, the Vandals are winning NOW, without the 17  
that were tossed!

As to being punished, we'll have to wait and see.
