Tiger Blues

How bad has it gotten for the Jackson State football team? Opposing players are making jokes. After Southern whipped the Tigers 45-7 last Saturday, Jaguars quarterback Thomas Ricks said (his voice dripping with sarcasm): "Jackson State always comes in focused and ready to play us. It was a little surprising that they took it a little bit easy on us this time." Funny stuff. And outgoing coach James "Captain Queeg" Bell managed to top himself in the Bizarre Statements Dept. To Doctor S, it sounds like the Tigers have quit on Bell.
