I mean, anytime they're returning decent o-line, known runningbacks, a Parker defense, a punter who grew up with the Southern Cross in the night sky.....AND....a possibly good quarterback they're going to be a potential sleeper. Or at the least, a potential disruptor.
I don't know what to expect. I could see a playoff birth. I could also see a rather depressing (record wise) season because of the expansion and schedule. Which will suck harder if they're actually capable on offense. Instead of 3 grumpy ass weekends where my wife avoids being around me, it could be 5. Or worse. Even with a good team.
I keep telling myself I gotta enjoy the fact that I'll get to see some offense (hopefully). And even if they do have a dogfight of a season on their hands, it'll be more entertaining. I need to learn how to lose. Also, we can be relatively sure they will absolutely score an upset or ruin someone's day.
I think the expansion and stuff...makes the ISU and Nebraska games a little bit more super bowlish for us.
I just need someone to give me a hug and tell me it will be ok. The only thing I got going for me is there was no late summer super secret closed practice where it leaked that the #1s on offense couldn't even move the ball on the #2s and 3s on defense.
