True! But we can always hope for an upgrade.

Hmm...that's a little more optimistic than warranted. I'm happy with the seven who are playing every game now but two of them (our #1 and #3 scorers) will be gone after this season. Three freshman will be coming in (knock on wood). That's 8 players without counting the four on the disabled...

Sorry, given the things that are happening in the world and in our country right now, I can't get as upset as you about what some unknown schmuck with a web page writes about our football team.

He didn't say Drake was "bad." He implied that he wasn't "elite." I think that's a fair assessment of Drake's performance as a redshirt freshman. The conference passing stats page lists him as the #11 ranked QB in the league in Quarterback Rating, just a hair above another freshman, Bryce...

That field goal was for a tie. We don't know how the overtime would have gone although we did win both of our overtime games this season. Also, why would the Gophers at #40 move into the top 30 by virtue of beating #39 in overtime?

He was fine in the first half. Disappeared offensively in the second.

We've discovered that this team can give us close, competitive games with most teams in the league. What we don't know so far is how many of those close, competitive games they can win. As expected, overtime games aren't kind to this team because of its depth issues.

True, although in some ways the unproven receiver, Smith, may have been the best by the latter part of the season. Tracy had a good year. Loya was utilized less than expected (10 catches for 61 yards). Biber was a good pickup. Wish he had another year.

Yeah, just ask George Constanza.

Same line as Missouri. Hope this one goes much better.

Yeah, Fleck's model is more like Ferentz which makes some sense when you are 1-8 against a particular coach. We play Indiana relatively rarely so whatever dominance they may achieve during Cignetti's tenure doesn't hurt as much.

Agreed. He was really good in the MVC tournament championship too as I recall. I certainly don't have a problem with him coming here if Niko wants him. Since we don't need a lot of transfers, I think we might be able to do better but this player and coach do have a lot a familiarity with each...

Have you seen his numbers? If the kid has pro aspirations, his current stint at UNC has done nothing to further those. Yeah, he's played a fair amount of minutes (5th on the team) but his numbers are bad. Player Efficiency Rating is 7.1 (for comparison, Shinholster's is 9.0). True Shooting...

Yeah, it is more likely to get worse than better as the season progresses. It's not anyone's fault but the coaches need to avoid anyone in the future with a hint of a lingering injury like the plague.

Grove has become good at putting himself in position to score from Reynold's feeds. I've been impressed by Grove's quick reflexes and foot speed.
