Few embody those values better than Frank Pinn (’89), a former walk-on turned team leader, record holder, and business […]

We are way better than the 3-4 record they currently have us at and a lot of that has to do with the repeatedly mentioned absence of Trinidad Chambliss and the severe underrating of the possibly the best running back in the conference.
