I fear the only question now is what type of comedown season this will be … a 2002 4-8 campaign or a 2008 5-7 campaign? Or worse?!

This team looks broken … like basketball at its worst last year except, ya know, without all that talent. I should have expected this for cosmic reasons, but MAN what a wasted opportunity for this program at such a terribly important and crucial time!!!!!!! UGH!

I think Rhule isn't too worried about a comeback by our beloved, spent all his timeouts already. Figures he won't need them later.

The thing is even though it seems like when the basketball team has a down year, they are still somewhat competitive. Football when they have a down year, they look like garbage.

It’s funny because even basketball in what we all thought was a down year was on par with football last year in their best season in 15 years. I’m kinda down on basketball but I can’t believe there were people who thought football was in better shape than basketball.

We’re down 11 minutes on time of possession and it feels like so much more than even that.

It’s hard to judge how well the defense is or is not playing. They spend the entire game on the field. But they don’t do well at getting off it, that’s for certain

It seemed like it last year and until this season started. Turned out it was just a mirage.
