I too heard rumors of this from credible sources at the Ralph around that Jan-Feb time.
As for Jost, he was in the Red Pepper late Friday night telling everyone he would be back. Credible sources there too
Some games in December they played it over 10 times a game and that wasn't including the one during the march in 2nd intermission. It was getting old.
If that is the case, maybe the band should have played it more to get the team motivated Some this last home stretch
A friend who works at the Ralph told me yesterday that Massimo Rizzo was here yesterday and will be here tonight visiting.
