A quick note about last week’s grades. I had written that I gave a general grade to Kirk, Brian, Phil, and LeVar last week. It wasn’t specific for the South Dakota State game, but rather how I would assign a blanket letter grade to the coaches. That’s why Phil Parker’s grade said “A” (and also why I give him a “D” when we play Purdue. ) Also, many people thought my grades were too lenient last week. I sort of agree. I made the conscientious decision to not be a negative Nelly. The gloves are off, however. I’m in a bad mood as there was no way the Hawks should have lost that football game.
