Virginia fans react as Notre Dame’s Will Fuller (7) scores on a touchdown pass with UVA’s Maurica Canady (26) falling after attempting to stop the play during an NCAA college football game in Charlottesville, Va., Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015. (P. Kevin Morley/AP)
Good morning! I’m excited to watch DeShone Kizer, because I really like him as an individual. (I don’t know much about him as a quarterback, sad to admit.) My enthusiasm for the #Kizera is tempered by the fact that it is the end of the #Zairea. I have great sadness about Malik’s season ending injury, and I wish him a speedy recovery from the surgery he underwent Sunday morning.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious about how all this is going to play out on Showtime’s “A Season With.” Tragedy makes for great reality, even though I’d rather keep our guys healthy than give the network some great footage.
