Winning the Big East in 2007 . . . and hopefully none of them winning their conference.

Based on having L'ville and WV at home, based on Grothe, the Dline, and virtually all other players gaining valuable experience, and the potential to have a star running back.  Fourth in the BE next year with all we have going for us would be a big disappointment for me.

Truly, I expect top 20, very possible BE champs, and a bowl game after Christmas.

^That's right.

Plus, if we get half of the recruits that are planning on coming, they will be put to use in great ways.

If we dont beat them when we get the chances to play them nothing will change from what it is now, barring a national championship.

NO... absolutely f'n wrong.

Nothing that happens on Feb 7th is going to have a big effect on 2007 season.

It will affect down the road, but chances are all the incoming freshman will RS, with a couple exceptions, one of whom is already signed, so feb 7th doesn't matter for Ford.  The transfers will make an impact, but those have been known for a while and Feb 2nd doesn't matter for those either.

So really, feb 7th doesn't matter for 2007.  It matters for 2008 a little, and definitely for 2009 and beyond.

You get so hung up in recruiting rankings.  It means nothing.  What matters is what you do with what you've got, filling needs, finding players that fit your system the best.  JL has done that very well.  

Occasionally you'll get a freshman that can start right away, but usually that won't be the case.

This is the best class we've ever had, and I hope we RS 90% of them.

Ford is the one guy I absolutely want on the field next year, at least competing for the starting spot.

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
