Tweet Having notched two of the best seasons in school history the past two years and with the most highly touted Lancer quarterback ever preparing to lead the team in 2012, you’d expect the local football punditry to be bullish on the black and Columbia blue. But Sunflower League Football blogger Eli Underwood is bearish [...]
