I'm beginning to believe Clark when he said, "It's not fair to tell these seniors that we're going to win in 4 years."

I hope they have a chance to go .500 or better and get invited to New Orleans for a pre-Christmas Party.

That would be AWESOME! if we could male the New Orleans bowl. Knowing our luck our first bowl in 10 yrs would be the Siberia Klondike bowl and we get to hear about the lack of fans who traveled to Siberia.

Sounds refreshing huh. Better than I played/coached under the bahr and coach Dye, or what he learned from coaches Petrino or Walker.

Very exciting, I'm liking Clark's recruitment of quality players (like the LB from Oregon) who have fallen through the cracks or have taken circular routes to D1. Much better than scraping the bottom of the borderline-FCS-level barrel.

Clark & Staff's evaluation skills appear to be very strong.

His skills have always been strong. He even recruited well at Prattville.

Based on what? I mean, I hope you're right, but it seems like one would have to see how these kids perform before making such a statement

Faith, Hope, Desperation for winning seasons, Admiration for seeming well organized and getting better players than we are in the habit of getting?
Right now everything seems to be "coming up roses" so we are once again looking forward to the 2014 season with greater anticipation than in past years. They are, after all, the only things we have to go on until results are known.

I sense that we have a couple of signees & commits that in the past would have not found their way to our program.
No way to know the results without getting on the field, but let's just say that I'm Hooked On A Feeling.

Yeah, I get a totally positive vibe from this staff too. One thing is for sure, they love those California JUCO's. They have already offered several more out there for the 2015 class.
