Football and basketball aren't the only 2 sports.

Nope. Barely making the top 50. The entire NCAA has turned into Dave Kingman.
LU pitchers fan 17 VCU batters.

That's much better than the no runs and 5 hits in three games that N. Alabama got against us last weekend.

Non paid gig.So, have you contacted anyone at the News and Advance about doing the same for them? They may or may not be interested, but it's really apples and oranges to compare that with paying someone to do it.
