Don’t think for a second that the Cobourg Kodiaks didn’t believe they wouldn’t get their first win during Sunday’s second intermission. Up 6-2 on the Brampton Excelsiors, everything was going right. They just had to hope that things would continue to go right. That’s the problem with hope. It knocks you on your ass. If you don’t have talent and desire clicking away with the hope, you have a problem….

As recently reported by Eric Hobeck, and rumored way before, and first from the In Your Face LaxCast (start at the 5:00 mark), Virginia will probably name Kevin Corrigan as their next head coach.
