It's tough to say how the team will do next year until we see how they do with a full portal period. Ideally Fisch and staff have the resources necessary to greatly increase the talent and depth on the OL, DL, at LB, and probably 1 high level WR and Safety.
The Colonels got fucked in the merger. The NBA didn’t want any of that smoke.
Don James was asked on the field after his 28-17 win over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl why he didn't try to score more late in the game to impress voters. He said, "We're delighted with the win. I don't get excited about a bunch of extra points." And I agree with that.
ATBS, if you literally have third-stringers in the game getting a chance, they should run much of the same playbook. One thing I didn't like that Don James did was he'd get his backups in the game and then run off-tackles over and over.
My former best friend from Quebec used to do impressions of the SNL Frank Sinatra impression in his Quebecois accident. "The money's on the dresser honey, I'm troo wit yoo."
LOL at replacing. Real programs get 2 or 3 high level OT's every year. As if we would not take him and his replacement.
