BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Legendary coach Eddie Robinson always passed on the concept to Grambling State coaches and players of not complaining about what their teams didn't have because they would have to live up to great expectations regardless."Let's look at it realistically, we're Grambling," one of Robinson's disciples, current Grambling coach Doug Williams, said. "And Grambling has won so much for so many years, that target doesn't go whether you're picked to win the championship or you're picked to finish last. The fact that it's Grambling, it's a great notch for any team that gets a chance to beat Grambling. We always feel there's a target out there."
