What we are seeing is that we are not as bad as our record indicates this season, just like I believe we weren't as good as our record last season. You have to take the bad with the good.
I actually feel confident about this one. Not ready to predict a win or anything but believe FSU will get our best shot.
I agree we will give them our best shot. I just don't think we have the horses to run with them. Stranger things have happened tho. They have been beating the dookie out of people and play Florida after us. So maybe we catch them slipping and make it a game.
Yeah, that is the problem. I don't want the bad with the good. And I surely don't want just as much bad as good. When you compare Mike to what old man Kelly did, he sucks. When you compare him to what Dennis Allen did, he looks like a freaking genius. I guess there's a reason old , man Kelly is named old man. He had enough experience to know he had to go with his best chance to win at QB & let the other guy float off into the sunset.
Dennis Allen is still trying to convince himself that there's more upside to Andy Dalton than Jameis Winston. Now that is brilliant way beyond my novice comprehension. To my thinking we had a ten win team last season. Anything over that was gravy. This team made a lot of gravy last season. This year, I thought we would realistically be an 8-9 win team depending on the bounce of the ball. I think Mike is a very young coach who made some young coaching mistakes. I also think he's done some good things. IF this team can continue to plug in great players like they are losing on defense, Mike can get those other 2-3 games back. To me it's all about winning this conference. To do that we have to win the west side bracket. That is the measuring stick by which any coach this team has must be measured. Anything else is accepting mediocrity. Men's basketball has already proven this school's willingness to condone mediocrity though.
