Are these the negative comments from Parker that everyone thought were
directed at Walsh? I read these and have to agree with Parker. This whole
thing *does* give Maine a bad rap. It *is* too bad that the current players
are being penalized. And the handling of the situation by the president and
AD *has been extraordinary*.
I think Parker is right on the money. There's nothing blatantly negative or
damaging toward Walsh or Maine in the above comments. I think people are
reading between the lines on this one.
