"Our track record speaks for itself." Spokeswoman for the AD, Anita Biggums begins, "You guys are actin' like this is something new. Need I remind you all about this program in '80s?"

Indeed, the Miami conference schedule for basketball is brutal, which is probably what prompted Mr. Pickling to end with, "Maybe if the recruiters woulda waited on gettin' them the whores til after the season, then they mighta seen they weren't deserving of anything, let alone the ass."
The mediocrity line just had me embarrass myself at work. Thank you.
