Worst of times? Age of foolishness? Epoch of incredulity? Season of darkness? Pit of despair?

I don't think Coach K was named to the board. He will continue to lead the men's basketball program. 😉

As soon as I read this line, the book City of Thieves by David Benioff immediately popped into my head.

I really do think it's getting that bad over there, especially after it comes out they've been flat out lying to recruits about sanctions. That could get ugly fast once penalties are handed down.

Just my .02 cents.
