Something to chew on as we approach game week

[Little George]

With our home opener coming up quickly now. You all know I am back in Indiana now but have been out for some of Spring and Fall Camps. I will not be at the NAU game for sure, but I am ready for the road trip to MSU on the 9th. Excited about that road trip!
How many of you are ready for some FB and plan to attend any or all of the home games this year? Same with road games as some on our board live in California and Colorado etc....?
What are your expectations?
What have you seen that gives you a positive or negative feeling about this season compared to last, or any other?
Love to hear your thoughts for sure.

Here are just a few of mine.
2nd row seats at MSU behind the visiting sideline. I am hoping to have a fun ride home after a huge road win!
My next game IF it all works out will be the home game against Washington. Planning, but not there yet. This game should be a sell out!
I haven't planned beyond that yet but time will tell.
I expect a bowl game and one forcast has us in the Shreveport La bowl game. I can do that one for sure IF we get it.
I expect we will be bowling somewhere.

I will get in to the Positives and negatives in my preview which will start very soon. I think there are still questions with this team for sure, but the positives are solid and the questions are just that questions, so I will base my thoughts and expectations off of what I project.

We will just need to avoid the injury bug and find the correct rotations to be successful this year.

Happy Days, it is almost game week!

I couldn't make it work for NAU but will do my best to slip away for the CU game.  With Arizona joining the Big-12, I need to save money because there will be a significant amount of road trips in the near future!

I'll stick by my perspective that the O-Line determines how far this team can go.  If DeLaura has protection, our offense can beat anybody.  Our RB depth is deep, our WR's are talented and we even have a couple TE's that could play in the league someday (for the first time since Gronk).

Our defense continues to improve since Sumlin's staff allowed it to implode.  We lost a couple Seniors but a majority of the talent returns.  I think we'll be competitive and earn a decent bowl with 7(ish) wins.

Hopefully I'm wrong and we become the surprise team out of the Pac-12 South.  I'd love to see this program take a huge competitive leap but I think we're still another 1-2 years away from double-digit wins.

You know I am less than three from Cincinnati, 6 from WVa, about 8 from ISU, 9 to 10 from KU and KSU. Even OSU is only 12 hrs.
Yes, I think I can make some more games anyway.

I have us at 5 wins and that is only due to ASU's self imposed Bowl ban making me believe they will have some players sitting out.

However, I have us being competitive and interesting to watch. I don't think Jedd has the "winning culture" locked in yet. Only time will tell what kind of grit this group has.
