Several things stand out, but one unimportant one got my attention. He said the marching "A" is going to be reversed this year due to construction. How will that work?

Like the mentions of the true freshman. They seem to be turning heads. And sounds like two deep will be announced tomorrow.

And you can tell he wants a good crowd Thursday to get season off to good start.

Hob so they will be in the old visitors lockerroom in the southwest corner of the stadium. They will come out there and run through the A in the south part of the stadium.  Hope that answers your question.   The visiting team will now be in the southeast corner of the stadium in a room on that side.

Ahhhhh. Got it. That will be really strange.....

I've gotten used to Bret giving us preseason fluff. I really hope that he means it when he thinks we will have a special year. Hopefully we have some good surprises on defense.

Which unit of the team did he declare "a he most talented I've ever been around" yesterday?

Last year would've been a special year if not for the 2 wins we played the 2nd half of the season. Most people forget we started 5-2. We started very strong and fell apart like A&M. One thing I've noticed about Bielemas teams here is they either start strong and fall off at the end (2016) or start poor and gain momentum as the season progresses (2015). I hope this year we are finally able to put it all together

9 wins isn't  a special year. Good year yes. Not special.

IMO the breakdowns the last two games of the season can only be due to a lack of leadership.  The Missouri team was horrible and we just laid down and gave them the W.  That's a lack of leadership from the coaches.    In the VT game the players came unravelled and nobody got them right on the sideline.  Again, leadership.

How many points is a homerun worth in football?

9 wins would have been steady progress.  The special year will be this one.

The post I was responding to said 9 would be special. I hope this year is special but I would be happy with 9.
