LT.

That wouldn't be fine in theory, at all.

They seemed pretty high on the guy from Wisconsin.

We will find out at the start of camp

I'm saying wait on this thread until someone is actually injured. We don't need to be putting out any bad ju ju.

Holy !@#$ man. Of all the premature threads to start......

It's pretty easy to recruit in their situation. The challenge for them will be developing that talent and mostly keeping complacency at bay.

Well that's not good. Stockwell isn't ready. We need a tackle to step up big time. I wonder if Anderson can swing out wide?

Your son is one of many players that I am ecstatic to watch from the opening game this year. His situation is the type that either makes people quit or gain an extra level of drive and a massive chip on their shoulder. It seems he's tough enough to be the latter. I hope he comes into camp and takes over the line from day 1. Hope you can make it to games this fall and enjoy some food and Grain Belt. Good luck to your son.

Even though this sounds like a bunch of bull$%!# I know there are plenty of people who didn't approve of Mussman and didn't go to games as a result. Especially last year.

I assume they like who they're brining in though. And they must like the LBs since they only brought in one.

Two things we can guarantee. The secondary will be much better. So much so that I can hardly wait to watch the SJSU game just to see it. Also there won't be a fr starting qb. Those two things should add up to a win in a similar game to the SDSU game if we find ourselves in one and lack of a blowout against Montana or MSU. Those two facts add up to not starting from scratch.

More importantly Bubba is familiar with them

Sonic food is average at best. The drinks on the other hand. Mmmmmmm limeade.

Wait I like this logic. This means we kick ass and didnt suck the last two years.

Also look at the scores from last year. They won 4 of their last 5 and only lost to Northern Iowa by 7. They also went to Southern Illinois and whooped them.

They've been getting better the last couple years and were a solid team last year. I'm not concerned with their record from the 90s and 2000s we play them this year and they won't be that bad at all.

I'm giving them 3 games. 1 FBS 1 lower level FCS and one very solid FCS. Also game three is where the excuses of new system and players should be out the window.

I knew you were kidding. I was serious that the nickname vikings had been tainted though.

I stand corrected. I assumed that since the defense was run by guys coached by Bubba before and is now that it would be borderline the same. Either way defense always adjusts faster to change.

Vikings would be a great nickname if the Vikings didn't exist. Maybe the Raiders? Spartans?

It will be a great measure of how good the new staff is at teaching. One positive is I'd bet the defense has the same verbiage as before which should ease the transition for them since returning players can help the transfers get a grasp of the language. On offense is where we will truly see how good the new staff is. This is a new system entirely. Basically if we come out and look solid expectations should be bumped up a notch. If we come out and look like !@#$ the expectations should brought down to a realistic level. Finally the ultimate measure of this staff will be how much the team improves from game one to the season finale. Most Mussman teams didn't seem to inproce a great deal as the season wore on. Here's to change.

I'm looking for either Miller or Bell to contribute big time this season. Stockwell should be the LT of the future. I don't know how far away he is from that though since he's had shoulder issues. Out FB is an absolute stud and should be utilized for more than blocking. We need to use Adler as a reciver this year. He is capable and is a classic H back. Norberg and Rattelle should be the backbone of the defense the next two years. Reyes may start out the gate and be a 4 year stud. Carter may be the first legit CB recruit we've had since Alexander. There are players that could contribute this year that weren't able to last year. That plus transfers and new coaches should equal a turnaround this year and a very big turnaround the next season.

Intent is more than what we have been working with for the last few years. I'll take that as an improvement albeit hypothetical.
