Message: [QUOTE="bevosu, post: 2445254, member: 46"] I know both of us have been around for a few decades. I went to SU in the mid 70's. JB has always had a reputation as a roll the ball out and let them play on offense guy. When you have ultra talent like The Pearl, DC. Owens, Sherm, Stevie, Wallace, Seikaly..throw in Bouie and Orr, it works. When he doesn't have that kind of talent it can get pretty mundane. He has developed into a good defensive coach when he has the pieces. My expectations for this season were pretty low. I find over the past 3 years, when we obviously don't have exceptional talent, the losses don't bother me as much as the losses we used to suffer when we had really good and highly rated teams. Maybe it's age? If anyone had asked me in 1975 if we would perpetuate the level of success we've managed over the past 40+ years I would have said...very doubtful. [/QUOTE]
