I don't understand why anyone would have had low expectations this season. It couldn't be much worse than last year. I expected at least 20 wins. Once they got rid of the deadwood and the disgruntled after last season, the only way to go was up.
Larry Hansgen was right when he described it as addition by subtraction.
As everybody should know, there is no such thing as a perfect season or even a perfect game. You just have to have faith in the team overall. They may not make it to the NCAA, but I'll still be proud of them.
