I am not going to hold my breath against USC. I also love how teams can cheat, be "punished" :blah:, and still be so good ,add OSU, (sorry for interjecting my personal beliefs but we wonder what is going on with our nation). I don't think either of the players will cause us to win or not win. Are they two of our top players, yes, but your talking about coming off long absences. They will not be next week what they will be by week 5. I don't want them back until they are 100%. Our bread and butter this year is going to be what we do in conference.
From what I saw this weekend, I think we are in it with anyone in conference. I am optimistic about this season in my heart, but, in my mind, I am going to hold my breath each game (hard to erase past experience). Busted Douglas knocked out Tyson, great things happen in sports, on paper they are a bigger better team but the game has to be played. They have to travel East, they were untested against HI, they are riding high, and they have LK as their coach. These could be an Achilles heel; could be nothing.
Again with a personal note; I would love to listen to this on the radio so that I don't have to see them put up LK's smug arrogant face every two seconds. On the other hand, I would like to watch this on a muted T.V. so I don't have to hear the excessive gushing homage from everyone surrounding the game about SC. Nothing would be more enjoyable than sending them back with their heads down low blaming each other for a loss and seeing the rest of their season tank because their prima donna armor is cracked as LK blames the world for why he is not a good coach and has not been a winner anywhere he has gone (Yes, I should seek help for my issues but admittance is the first step to recovery right,..., right?).
I don't think we need them for SB or Minny as starters. It would be good, if 100%, to see them get 20-30 snaps to ease them back into game conditioning.
I would like to see them back as starters for conference play.
There are a handful of teams that I want to see lose all the time every time and wish no blessings upon them and try not to wish ill will; Miami Heat, Kentucky bball, and USC are three of them. I would be ecstatic for the rest of the season with a win next week no matter what else happens.
