So tonight's game didn't turn out the way I had hoped. 3rd string QB didn't get it done; no suprise to me. The defense is awesome. I think we have more superstars on this team in as long as I can remember. If Shula has done one thing well, it's recruit. He is an excellent evaluator of talent.
I think what we've seen over the past couple of games is a mostly very young team get a lot better. They're still not over the hump yet. They need to learn how to close out these big games, but that'll come with experience.
Think of your list of guys on this team that are spectacular: Darby (Soph), Both Castiles (Frosh and Soph), Knight (Frosh), Brown (Frosh), most of the D (most not seniors). Pretty promising.
We'll lose 3 solid O-line men, which has got to be #1 priority in recuiting. We'll also be thin in depth next year (not telling you anything you didn't know [Fulmer, I'll see you in hell, you fat bastard]), but I do think that we'll be better than we are this year. If Shula can keep up the good recruiting, in 2006 we'll be an incredible, dominant team.
3 weeks ago, I wanted everybody including the receptionist of the athletic department fired. I've gotten over that. My guess is, there'll be one or two shake-ups on Shula's staff over the next couple of years (all conjecture on my part, btw) -- nothing too major though. We'll also win more and more. That's pretty exciting. All we can ask is that they show improvement week after week -- which we've seen over the last few weeks. We'renot playing on a level playing field with ANY of the other teams in the SEC. This is going to take time, but for the first time in a long time, I think we're going in the right direction. Let's be clear headed and let this thing flourish.
