The Great Hope

The start of football season is always a wonderful time. There is hope that the Purple will rise again. There is talk that they'll be better than last year. Some even think they might get off to a 4-0 start before the bye.

Woof woof.

Okay, a little reality. I have been bleeding purple longer than I care to admit. We start the season with a QB that has yet to toss a TD, and a defense that might be truly scary.

The problem is - no one knows what this team will do. I have heard everything from 2-14 to 10-6.

All right, 2-14 is unlikely, and 10-6 suggests you failed your last drug screening. Personally, I can't decide whether this season's team is a 5-11 or 6-10 team. Without a credible passing attack, the running attack will suffer. Unless the defense scores 3 tds per game, we're in big trouble. If we have to rely on the offense to pull the load, then I think we're in for a whole lot of hurt.
