"It's about the journey" - Steve Sarkisian

One of my favorites.
"I said this at the press conference, that it’s not going to take us very long, and I truly believe that." -
"We’re very young. We lose two guys. We’re a very young offense that continued to grow throughout the season, and tonight, we showed some explosiveness that we can continue to grow on" Totally synonymous coaches Lambo and DJ would kill to only lose two starters. Rose Bowl!

“I think we can be electric,” Sarkisian said after the Cal game. “I think we’re coming into our own. It was great that Mykenna Ikehara got his first start at center tonight and played fantastic against a great defensive line. We’re very young. We lose two guys. We’re a very young offense that continued to grow throughout the season, and tonight, we showed some explosiveness that we can continue to grow on.”
Did Ikehara ever play a snap again for us? I remember being excited about him going forward as I think he was only a freshman then he never played again.
Funny how we returned our entire team yet in 2010 I kept hearing how "young" the team was after the 3-6 start. -

As for the OP, Sark says this type of shit every year. There was more excitement for the 2010 season then there is for this upcoming season. If it wasn't for the new stadium, there would be very little excitement in the program.

RoadDawg - you seem to be moving over to the very negative side lately. Not sure if it is an attempt to fit it, but on your podcast you come through with some very good insight. I think we can all agree that this is a make or break year for the HC, and I think that horse is being served at your local Burger King. But there is nothing wrong with pointing positives in the program,RoadDawg55 said:

As for excitement, I think there is a lot of talent on this roster, and the type of athlete in the program has change over the last 5 years. Once again it will be up to the coaches to maximize that talent.
It would be cool if you guys did a podcast comparing certain position groups vs. 5 years ago.
A good example are our LBs & CBs:
I think Shaq-Feeney-Timu-Princeton is our best LB group going into a season in years. Butler-Mason-Victor were very good at the end of the year, but Donald blew up his SR and not sure many people expected that.
And it nice to finally have some size at CB:
Peters - 5'11" 193
Dixon - 6'1" 196
Kelly - 6'2" 183
King - 6'2" 178
Wallace - 5'11" 171
Enewally - 6'1" 184
Beaver - 6'0" 192 (even though he been moved to S)
Just saying your football post are really good and you stand out when not toeing the company line.

When you emphasize the positives of a mediocre program, you keep a mediocre coach far longer than you should.IrishDawg22 said:

Great non-defense of Sark as always though. -
News flash Sparky...what we say on this board has ZERO impact on the program.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
