I was never high on Calvert, too small and too slow to be a good D1 player.

Because you have an axe to grind, you have a selective memory and done poor research. Don't read my stuff.

Are you arguing that your tunnel vision of "rosey scenarios" is often a tad much

southernfriedcougar

Why attack, if you don't like his posts just ignore and go be negative elsewhere
