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.
Thanks
for taking over down there, fellas.

Trivia Question:
What was the last school ever to be defeated by a Steve Kragthorpe-coached team?

On the other hand
You guys lost to GERG twice.
41-40 isn't exactly a massive margin there either.
Point is, the media thinks we both suck and it’s up to us to prove em wrong.

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.
