I have had occasion to work closely with Dean Doty over the past 3 years and I find that much of what you see posted on this board about him is unfounded. It's hard to know where to start. I'll just describe the person that I've encountered since he arrived at USM. Dean Doty is a very quiet an...

Eagles fall to LaTech, 7-12. Was 2-12 in the bottom of 9th, when USM added five runs. Eagles fall to 10-4 on the year. A little discontent starting to brew on ET now.
