Are You Ready For Some Football?
According to the AP (see below web site), we can expect ODU football to get underway two weeks before the normal 29 days prior to the first game. That is if the current plan proposed by the NCAA Football Oversight Committee is approved by the Division I Council on Wednesday. With ODU's opening game with Wake Forest on Friday, September 4th, and if my calculations are correct, Monarch football will get underway on July 23rd. OK, Coach Rahne -- LET'S GO MONARCHS!

When the day comes that players finally return for practice, may the OT thread be locked and thrown in Smack Talk and may this become the most popular thread on the board.

RE: Are You Ready For Some Football?
I saw the Athlon college football preview yesterday. Not surprisingly they have us picked dead last in CUSA east with 3 total wins and 2 in CUSA. What did surprise me was the writeup talked up our "experienced" offensive line, and quoted Rahne as saying that was one area he was optimistic about too. I don't know what he sees there, but if we have a good line I think we could be better than expected. Perhaps in the 5 win range.

You know who isn't shocked? Me..... because Ive said this for a year but no one wants to see it or believe it.
The OL is not our problem, we need better QB play, better RB play, and hopefully our WRs continue to develop like they did toward the end of last year (and have the addition of Kumah).
3 wins wouldn't surprise me but it depends on how Wolfe develops at QB.

I am not surprised either, Giles. I have had the pleaser to work out with most of the starters, as we had a make shift gym the guys would come work out with us for voluntary lifts. It was pretty cool. We have two o-line guys that could very well be drafted, in weaver (this year)and sal (in a few years). They have been praising our new staff and explain how the new OL coach is really coaching them for the NEXT level. They are some work horses.

You have 4 WR and 1 RB formation and a QB that holds the ball for 4 seconds and then scrambles and gets sacked for a loss of 6 yards and all the fans in the stadium get mad at the OL.

If Slade is eligible, he and LaLa are two great running backs. Kumah will always be a threat. Hopefully Wolfe has been working hard in the off season. Maybe we'll surprise some folks. I'd love to have an interesting season with bowl eligibility still a possibility with a couple weeks left in the season.

RE: Are You Ready For Some Football?
With how young we were last year at most positions, its certainly possibel to have a lot of growth this year. Guys can really improve from the end of first season to the second season. We were just way too young last year.
