Most around here have tempered expectations in the present, with longer-term goals to be able to expect wins. This team is not built to win today. It's built to grow and develop into a team that will soon be the one we can expect to win. But in the now, we are flawed. The roster is incomplete. The foundational players are young and need to refine their game.

The expectation is that we not be an embarrassment like last year. That we are in the game fighting for the win in the fourth. There will be times that we get the dubs, there will be times we shoot ourselves in the foot. We're not Bama. This isn't Superb Owl or bust.

Jags spoil their fun, tho, 24-20.

Get used to close games, I imagine we are gonna see a lot of em this year.

Lmao, this is comical lol

glad I could be of service? You might have to explain your logic in finding this humorous. One conversation is about expectations, especially in the long term. Another one is making a score prediction. I make no statement in my prediction that I expect that to be the final score or I abandon all hope, or any such extreme.

You want another knee-slapper? I picked us to beat the Redacteds, too. Whoop Dee Fuh-rickin' Doo. Note the margins in the predictions, though, both extremely close. As long as we ain't gettin the doors blown off, we're going to eventually see the dubs, and steadily by more decisive margins.

But please, continue your chortling. You're doing great.
