Fun and all, but let's see what happens between now and the end of the first week of September. I'll be excited and and a little more confident after LOI day, but the proof is still in the on-field performance. We were excited about Page and he turned out to be much more than anyone expected. Let's not make this guy an All-American candidate before he even gets on the field.

And I also have had my fill of getting excited about recruiting classes during the off season...

Not me, NLI Signing Day is like a second XMAS for me. Rocket Spring Football will just be around the corner. I'm f'ing sick of losing seasons and can't wait to get back to winning Championships.

You're gonna love the swim team and next year's X-country team. If we take football that would be two MAC championships next fall. I'm OK with that-maybe soccer can add a third.

I know we need to wait and see how accurate the evaluations are and I know the results haven't been as good as we anticipated in the past. I often got excited by the recruits of Amstutz, but the problem was that quite a few of them never played a down of football for us. In two years with Beckman this is already vastly improved. I love Toledo Tom but I also recognize he had some flaws (and don't we all.)
