I still think our improved effort will make us a bit better than we look on paper.

Winning the league: No.
Not finishing at the bottom: Yes.

I think our ceiling is 4th, maybe 3rd if we have an NCAA 11 type season.

League Champs. Write it down.

Definitely no first-year pressure

There were talks of a National Championship just before Krag’s first year. Man, they had no clue who they were getting.

Seeing the guys play with intensity and desire will be enough for me. Hoping they sneak in some wins and maybe finish somewhere in the middle, but this is the wake of the Krag nuke so we can’t expect too much.
