Slight correction:

"The Griz secondary will be headed by senior strong safety Colt Anderson, who led the team in interceptions with four last year. He will be joined by sophomore cornerback Jamaine Olson, who started three times a year ago and recorded 33 tackles and 6 pass breakups."

Jamaine Olson is no longer a member of the Grizzlies.

Thursday we added the Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, Northeast Conference, Southern Conference, and Ohio Valley Conference previews.

By the way, CSN has added an OVC columnist and a new SWAC columnist. Maybe a MEAC writer too.

Wish they would find someone who really knew the ins and outs of each program...pretty obvious they didn't do much research on us.

Wish they would find someone who really knew the ins and outs of each program...pretty obvious they didn't do much research on us.The yearbook pieces were all written earlier so there may be some players who are no longer on the teams. Massive research was involved with each preview.

We forgot to mention that we have a new Southland Conference writer too.

I respect Dowd & think he's the best writer on the CSN staff, but UR 3rd in the South? Hey I'm a BlueHen fan so I have no special interest in the Spiders but they've been so under-rated IMO all preseason.

I saw them shut down JMU last year, not expecting anything different this year from them.
