I'm not trying to be an asshole here. I am a Zips fan starved for information. I totally appreciate a coach saying "special", "stood out", "leadership", "best", "great" and all that. It doesn't tell me anything, though. They said those same things about a 1-11 squad. What pains me is that a guy who gets paid to write down words for a living made the most positive statement I have ever seen penned about the Zips with absolutely zero justification to support the statement.
I want to believe that the Zips are "oozing". Tell me why I should believe that. The known quantities don't convince me. Tell me who made incredible gains over the off-season. We heard from the basketball golf outing that Daniel Utomi lost 56 pounds and increased his vertical by 3 feet. Gimme some of that about the football team.
