For me, it’s optimistic about what? Archived Message
Posted by snipes824 on February 8, 2024, 11:26:51, in reply to "I am not very optimistic, but Bert gets at least two more years, IMO"
I’m not optimistic either if optimistic means thinking we’re going to be competing for B1G titles in this new setup. But I am optimistic that we will continue to play competitive football, winning 8 or 9 in up years and 5 in down years, and generally not getting blown out. And that’s what I think any other good coach we could possibly hire would do as well. Previous Message to your point, the qb could be a big deal. if altmyer continues to progress and shows more of the good he showed last year, we could surprise a bit. Previous Message We’re the most competitive team we’ve ever been. .500 in conference over the last 3 years and so many close losses that could have easily went the other way. A legitimate top half B1G QB coming back with a stable offensive coordinator for once. I need to see shitty blowout football for at least a year before I’m even remotely where other fans seem to be. Previous Message I will be shocked if Bert pulls us out of this nose dive. 4-8 next year should get him fired.
