Call These people and tell them exactly what you want. They will make you a kick ass jersey for a reasonable price. Way better than Fanatics.

You lost me there. Sounds like I’ve been having a discussion with someone that doesn’t even watch the games. Enough time wasted. Carry on.

Of course last year’s team was outclassed by Tennessee and MSU. Most teams were outclassed by Tennessee regardless of level. Turnarounds usually take 5-6 games for things to really start clicking, just FYI. As much as I’d love a P5 win, I’m not counting on Kentucky or Indiana. I am counting Morgan State and Temple (although I think the Temple matchup will be very close.) Not sure how many games you watched last year, but we lost 4 conference games by 7 points or less. Only Ohio and Miami ran away from us. I bring that up to show this team was not far off even with a less talented roster than our opponents. Last year’s team had a clear deficit in the run game, pass rush, and at cornerback. The portal has changed the landscape of college football and this staff has used it as well as anyone at the G5 level, while also bringing in a strong HS/JUCO class. If those positions have been shored up like I think they have, then this will be one exciting season. This team will have just as much depth as any team in the MAC this year. We compare at every position except the OL and DL, but those should be much improved over last year. Flash in the pan? Doubtful. Believe it. Or not. Might want to pay just a little closer attention to what’s happening with this program though.

Guess we should pack it all up and go home because some arbitrary ranking says this team won’t be any good? NIU can go from 0-6 to 9-5 and Akron can’t make the same type of leap? Come on out and pay a little attention to what’s happening with this program. I’ve made more than enough posts on why this team could majorly outperform this year. I’ve also given similar situations to other programs. It’s fine to disagree, but next time how about give a little more depth into why you disagree before giving a preseason ranking that most likely goes 99% off the win/loss record of last year.
