The expectations for Jake and the team were perhaps a bit inflated. It will still probably be the best or second best season in our lifetimes, but people won't be able to enjoy it because their level of enjoyment seems to be based on the mean-ness of threads on phog.net.
there may be something to this. but, i'm starting to move to the idea that the expectations weren't that out of line. the defense keeps improving, and it's already near elite (14th). offensively they're a clusterfuck, but still scoring points.
as poorly as they play, they're the 26th best team in the country. it's pretty easy to see areas for easy improvement. top 10ish team going into postseason play doesn't seem far fetched.
