This confirms my suspicion that Strong brings inherent clout still in the eyes of others outside of the program. Nice read...

Yep, I tend to agree with just about everything in the article. If the O hasn't lost a step, the D should be at least better if not much better this year. Exciting!

Cinderella team with a popular coach that was fired from one of the biggest schools on the planet? We should have media attention for most of the season good or bad.

17 years as a Bulls fan taught me to never believe in the Bulls over the course of a season. Of course, my belief in any football team has been corrupted by my 25+ years as a Dolphins fan.

Obviously hoping for a different outcome this year.

Yeah... I've been a fan 10 years now... I've had my optimism swept away too many times. I think I'll enjoy this season more if I have no expectations.

Always believe.  I too have been a Dolphins' fan for a very long time.  On the bright side, the Bulls should have a very good season..not so much for our Dolphins.  Who knows maybe Cutler will earn his $10mm, learn the offensive system in a very short period, and the Dolphins will surprise us all :)

Been watching this since football was approved.  Seen hope and potential wasted and quashed.  Seen a lot of good and some bad. Hoping more to restore our long term possibilities.  We knew back in the 90s/00s we could dominate C-USA with local talent. Same is true for AAC today.  Need to stabilize the win column and get another Big East type of opportunity. 

Just win boys.

Pretty much it. Consistent winning should bring consistent conference championships. If that happens, I hope we have a marked uptick in donors and season ticket holders. We'll need serious improvement there, to prime our position for the next conference realignment shift.

I, too, am a Dolphan, and that helps me keep expectations loooooooowwwwwwww. That way, I'm simply pleasantly surprised at any good occurring.  :D

I've been a cautiously optimistic type for years now, but this year, I'm putting it all out on a limb.  I believe in this team, because we have a QB who is a winner.  I absolutely expect huge things from this team, this year.
