Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1519113, member: 2585"] You just did. I'd add the 1 point Louisville loss in 2009, 41-20 vs Washington in 2010, the 7 point win vs URI in 2011, the 3 point win vs Toledo, the 5 game swoon to finish that year as particularly ugly, and the loss to Rutgers in 2012 (we were the better team). It's not my narrative. You and Go have canonized Marrone because of his last year - but he was far, far from perfect. And to be clear I've said Marrone had more good wins in his first 2.5 years than Shafer. And Shafer has more blowouts. I'm not disputing that. But the numbers themselves aren't all that different and you really can't dispute that. We were bad/mediocre on O Marrone's first 3 years and we were mediocre/bad Shafer's first two. This year may end up that way - but as you've said there is hope offensively moving fwd. The one constant has been a decent D. Also - I think we get our marquee win this weekend ;) [/QUOTE]
