my point is that i will reserve judgement until i see the "product in a game" and that starts with the "opening day kickoff". from that point forward, i feel that any comments will be justified by what i see on the football field in a real game. anything prior to that requires my eyes and ears being present in the day to day practices and that ain't happenin'. and yes, you can learn "a lot" from the first game. for example, folk got on me last year because i criticized the oc in the very first game cuz i could immediately see that his play calling didn't make any sense. yet, by season's end, almost "everybody" was criticizing the oc. there are no more excuses for this season. coach has been here a full year and signed his own recruits. we should see "immediate" improvement this season on both sides of the line of scrimmage. offense should look better, defense should look better, special teams should look better, and most importantly, we should win far more than just "1 game"... Gotcha, though I disagree on no more excuses. I'm on the side of giving coaches the opportunity get their own guys in with 3 or 4 full recruiting cycles unless they show little to no improvement (or get worse) after about the 2nd year. Don't know what you mean by win "far" more than just 1 game, but I expect us to win more than 1 game...at least 4. yes, 4 wins to me is "far more" wins than 1 win. given the results from last season, i can live with 4 wins this year, but i won't like it. i'm spoiled, i'm used to "winning" championships. my preference every season is to win "at a minimum" 7 games and a championship or postseason play. to me, the sign of a good coach is that we see an "immediate" improvement in his 1st season. my favorite aggie coach of all time (coach broadway) made his mark "immediately". in his first season (without having a spring practice) he won "5 games", but that was coming off of a 1-10 record the previous season under coach lee. this will be coach brown's 2nd season. clearly we did not see any improvements in his 1st season, quite the contrary, "everything" was worse. so i don't think its unfair to expect major improvements in his 2nd season and far more wins than just 1. a good coach would've shown improvement "immediately"...

I definitely think we're gonna improve. I expect we'll beat WSSU, NCCU, SCSU & Hampton, at a minimum. Also hope we can get Elon, Towson and possibly Campbell.
