The Toussaint wishing well

Give it up with the eternal wishing that Fitz Toussaint is gonna be some mysterious weapon that gets unleashed and saves the day the next 2 games. Yeah he is a fighter, yeah he has has terrible luck, and yeah, I hope he can be 100% and get some PT. But there are many people that still need to get the delusions out of their head. He is an average back at best, injured or not. Our future at RB is not Fitz Toussaint or Mike Cox. It's Smith and Hopkins. Get used to it.

The present is V Smith and Hopkins and maybe a sprinkle of Toussaint.  If Shaw was healthy (knee and now head) he would be starter.

It was a MAC safety who was pretty good at track in high school.

I thought the point of an argument was to be right about something. Anything.

Like that safety, I'm sure that there are fast players in the MAC, it's just a matter of how good of a football player they are.  That is why Toussaint is in the Big Ten and that safety is not.
