As for that job, Ben Huffman - another great guy who I regard as a personal friend - is 1-9 on the morning line to fill that spot.....Doug actually beat out Ben in 2002 for that position....

I have heard the same from my friends who have worked there.
Let me ask you this, why do you think they put people without much knowledge about the intricacies of the game in the decision making positions?
I had a discussion about that very fact with one of the professors over at the University in the Equine Department.
It sure does seem odd.
How did you like Meeker? And how long do you think Greg Bush will last with the way things are going?
