There is nothing inherently bad about conservative. There is nothing wrong with conservative if you have the horses to make it work--an offensive line that can blow holes in the opposition, a superior running back who can make 4 yards out of nothing and a TD out of something, and a QB who can stand in the pocket and throw for first downs against a defense that is sitting pass on third and 8. Bloom hasn't been able to recruit those people to Rice, and he's not going to be able to. Shaw had them at Stanford for a while, but hasn't gotten them lately.

Do we hope against belief that Bloom can start getting those players at Rice, or do we say no mas?
