Is there palpable buzz?!

Did he say that Freeman is now 7-2?

That was a hard working 2 minute google search put into that assessment.

I won't fully buy in until I hear Jon say that JJ is shooting the blood out of the ball in practice.

I saw Sadiq and freeman at the football game. Sadiq is taller than Donnie for anyone who is curious

On a serious note didn’t Donnie get to 6-10 last year? Or was that just Rothstein like talk?

He's has us firmly "out" of the projected expanded field of 68 for 2026.

Rothstein was generally pretty upbeat about us last year too if I recall.

Ehhh last year he chose his words more carefully.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Ehhh last year he chose his words more carefully.

Yeah, specifically he said we had a "plethora of pretty good players" but that he wasn't sure if there was a great one. I was concerned at the time that it didn't sound very positive and got accused of being pessimistic. Then the season ended up as it did.

With the way he exaggerates at every opportunity, I feel like if Rothstein isn't saying something overly positive about the team then alarm bells should be going off. For as much flack as this guy gets, he does get a look at basically every team leading up to the season and therefore will have a better read than most on how teams comparatively stack up.

If anything I think these reporters are getting at is that there really isn’t any reason we shouldn’t be good given the players we have
