2014 Season - "Day by Day"


The Sicatoka

Recommended Posts

I'm sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but the Sioux will not be back to form by next year...It will take at least 2-3 years of Bubba recruits to set the team straight and that's hoping no one jumps ship on the coach and starts a Fire Bubba thread in about 6 weeks.  Got to tone down the expectations and give the team time to build.  We will most likely get throttled by NDSU in 2015 and hope to be very decent in 2017 - that's my goals for the team and I think its more realistic than most.

What do you think most people expect?

Set your goals a bit higher, quit comparing to the AC. Nothing we can do about the Ag School. They are good and I wouldn't wait around for them to stumble so I would expect Bubba and his staff to approach this program with a sense of urgency and high expectations. Don't worry about next year until next year and certainly not 2017 or we likely won't be any good until 2017 or later. Worry about Saturday and the preparation needed and the recruiting work that needs to get done this week.

I can't wait until game 12 is done and we can see if this team is headed in the right direction. Not expecting any miracles or be #1 in defense but just to see major improvements would be great.

I make a motion we set a target date of the beginning of fall camp 2015 when we can get past Muss' "brick by brick" and now the "day by day" and move into "the time is now".

I'll second that motion, especially since Minnesota has used the "brick by brick" schtick for a a couple of seasons now. And their stadium actually has plenty of bricks in it, so it makes sense.

I don't think all future seasons need to be "lost" but Bubba has a few of his recruits on the team now, will bring in more next year and so on thereafter, but it won't really be his players for four years. Thus, while we can hope for a better season each year, I am skeptical that things turn as soon as next season and we end up with a winning record.

The players and coaches expect to win now.  I see nothing wrong with fans having that same expectation.  No one comes here to be average.

Having positive expectations goes a long way towards producing and winning football games. This was a major issue with Mussman; he never exuded a trace of confidence.
