    Could he be more condescending? Why didn't he mention that Wisconsin plays that football superpower Wofford this year?

      I think you are looking at the wrong quote from the article. I'd rather take from the kid whose now been a part of both over some reporter.

      From Hodge's mouth:
      “I love it here,” he said. “I was really surprised at how the program is run. There’s not that much difference from how the program is run at Wisconsin. The talent level is the same.”

        Sure, preaching to the choir, and don't accuse me of little brother syndrome, but it is the opening paragraph and how many non-fans will stop reading right there with their preconceptions 'confirmed'.

          I also thought the opening of the article was a poor choice of words, but I was more upset about the article in the same paper that praised our All-American defensive end Johnny Ruffin

            I saw that too when I read the online version. I screamed at my computer screen "it's JAMES you idiot!"

              Uh...isn't UNI's first game against Iowa?
              Winning is more fun than losing.

                Did the same guy write the article?

                    Now you have me wondering about this also. I thought I have seen him driving around town, but his name is not on the roster. I was really looking forward to seeing him play more.

                    If someone can fill us in on this situation that would be great!

                      Craig James is listed in the media guide, FWIW.
                      The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                        He is also still listed in the University directory online, which normally means they are still a student, but sometimes that doesn't get updated right away. So I guess who knows.

                          I heard Craig James is not playing because of academics.
