"We don't know what was at the core of their struggles last year."

Maybe it's just because I'm closer to the program than they are, but I think it was pretty clear what was at the core of the struggles last year.

Not commenting on them being skeptical. That's fine, and I'm certainly skeptical as well. I'd just like to hear some outside analysis of what they think will actually happen on the field this year instead of rehashing the story everyone knows for most of the "preview".

I think the point they were trying to make is that it's hard to predict what we will do this year because they were so wrong about us last year.

They (media) being so wrong about us was like a hit to their professional reputation- at least they are acting like it. They need to get over it. I'm tired of the mea culpas. All you can do is suck it up and move on. They roll the ball out in 4 weeks and we'll see what they can do.

What I'm most excited about this year and going forward is Pennington being back. Seeing Gavin back makes me happy. I hope he and Caden stay healthy and show out like they capable of doing.

Yeah, the media will be very hesitant with giving us recognition this year. I can't necessarily blame them with how last year went, but it is a new team that can write their own story.
