Scarlet Overkill

@Dilly Dilly Ok, I'm busted and so is @Branno at 7-5 but like I said I really felt it would be worse.  I was ready to move on from Riley early in the season when it was obvious to me that we weren't where we should be as a program.  Fire Riley talk was discouraged but whenever the fledgling Frost train came up (usually after a loss) I tried to push it along.  As UCF's season took off and ours tanked, the Frost train became unstoppable.  By season's end I can only think of 1 poster that thought we shouldn't fire Riley.  My only concern with Frost was that our defense would become soft(er) practicing against his offense.  The coaches stress being physical so I'm no longer concerned.  I'm pessimistic about next season since I don't believe 1 off season will undo what wasn't done the past 3 or more years as far as development particularly in the weight room.  Changing offense, defense is minor compared to attitudes, habits and mentality.  7-5 this season would be amazing and regardless of how good we look in the spring game, I won't be more optimistic.

I wasn't here to bust you - i just couldn't believe anyone saw a 6 or fewer win team.  I saw that happening before Callahan's last year (when everyone had such high hopes and thought the sky was the limit).  In both coaches' last seasons, they were worse than I could have even imagined it would be.  Hope that changes this year, but i'm willing to be patient.  Takes while to build that thing back up.

@4skers89 my exact post was “I see 5 losses, 5 wins, and 2 toss ups. I really hope I'm wrong, but I see us as 7-5 max but possibly 5-7.”

Please tell me how that means my claim that I saw the team going 5-7 after the spring game is busted.
