The same folks declaring us at large worthy in October will be warning us of how "tough" Southern Miss, UTSA, and North Texas will be by January and February and how we can't expect to win those games. Hope the October predictions are right this time. All my college and pro teams have sucked lately and I'm due for a good season.

Very true - the reality is we are all in a wait and see more because we need to play the games before we determine the outcome - otherwise we could be lottery winners .. in talking with the players at the dinner last week you sense that Caver has become a leader. Xavier has gained much more confidence and every player mentioned how good Dickens is and that he will be an impact player .. Dickens himself compared his game to Hakiem Olajuwon (will certainly temper that for now ) but even the coaches mentioned his athletism on both offense and defense . As Mr Bigblue stated the potential is there and as fans it just makes for a better year when you go with high expectations with some reasoning behind it. Sure as a fan you can be let down - but most are used to that - who cares about your standing on a message board about being right .. that only applies to some that claim they are experts but are willing to be that guy because it’s easy to be a fan if indeed we play well and exceed expectations .. to them it’s more important to be a winner on a message board than it is to state you support your school ..
