It was mentioned along with Kenny Smith, MVPs, Lou Roberts and Joshie Jo Armstead in Dave Godin's Mecca review , I'm sure that Colin has gone on record saying that it was Dave's own choice, It certainly don't hold a candle to those . 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Awful record though.. Edited August 4, 2016 by jim g 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
