Good point Brian. Will you homers get off his balls.

Yeah, but when he justifies us as being 3rd best in a conference behind a Michigan team who's done...[remind me again--what?] in recent years; I don't think a lot of us have a problem with him ranking us behind Michigan State, but behind Michigan?

People graduate don't they? A "year ago" is irrelevant.

The coaching staff doesn't graduate, though, per se. And we've historically had trouble playing down to teams that are vastly inferior to DoNU.

 

Plus, let's be honest with ourselves--I believe we'll win this weekend, but if the game is much closer than we care for, is anyone going to be truly surprised, given our history? No, and that's what I believe Brian was alluding to.

 

Mind you, this isn't a knock on talent. If anything, Bo is still a young coach that's trying to learn to be even-keel, regardless who the opponent is. This, while balancing the immediate look-ahead your team will do towards the upcoming teams that will decide whether your season is a failure or success. It's going to happen until Bo gets more years under his belt.
