Heather Cox Is Determined To Get Her Postgame Interview
Tuesday, January 01, 2008
You would think two Gatorade baths and getting nailed in the face with your own microphone would stop Heather Cox, but alas....she's a professional....
Heather, no one cares what Pat Hill has to say about his team after the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl, but good for you.

Hilarious.
