I'd like to thank the people from the Grambling Fan Forum for including us in their Q & A efforts with Jason Hatcher. Although he made an effort to respond to many, he was not able to respond to some of the questions submitted.
However, I was informed that he will continue to take questions, so you all can continue to post more questions in this thread...and I'll submit them to him.
