"Very realistic"?
 
Sorry but your definition of "realistic" is very different from my definition.
 
Winning three straight games as the underdog with two of those games on the road and while playing an undefeated team along the way is unrealistic or "delusional" using our language.
 
I gather that you believe that SU will defeat Mizzou and Louisville in the next two weeks? I suspect that most oddsmakers would not call your assessment "realistic."
 
Don't get me wrong. I hope you're right, of course, but the realistic view is that we will lose both games. If we do happen to win the two wins we will receive national attention for two big upset wins - we will get great PR for bringing about results that were not realistic or expected.
 
As far as UConn's talent level is concerned, I think you have misrepresented what I posted. I don't recall the specific discussion but I think I was talking about the talent level of our BE opponents on the whole and noted that all of our opponents this year have more talent than we do except for perhaps UConn - I suggested that we may very well have more talent than the Huskies. 
 
And after the game I was very clear that the UConn offense does not have an effective QB - that the kid who played against us in the Dome was tough, but missed a bunch of open receivers and was no threat to run - and that that made our defense look better than it probably is. 
 
So, once again I love your enthusiasm and optimism, but your view of what is "realistic" is a bit myopic.
