this is still the most special bearcat football team ever.

lets hope jones can keep together recruiting class and maybe add a couple of guys.

even as poorly as this game has gone, im still extremely proud of this team.

No question, I'm proud of this team, it's still the greatest team in UC history, and it's Step 1 towards taking that next step to elite status. I really believe, following Butch Jones and reading about him, that not only will our offense continue to be elite (he'll add a running attack, I believe), but our defense will be MUCH better. I don't blame Brian Kelly for this defense, this was a down year and he was going to need a year of recruiting to replenish it, but I expect Jones to improve our defense. He is also a VERY good recruiter, and he has two very good recruiter as well. So we have three damn good recruiters, so that should help. I just hate seeing this team go down like this.
