Agree with everything, Tom. The team is, in the Shrader era, entertaining to watch. It can be ugly at times, and in fact it IS ugly at times, but we are more competitive and so far have not been out of any games.

Of course, haven't been out of any games "yet", anyway...we aren't playing BC, Ohio, and Albany anymore. We are about to find out what this team is really made of.

The last three are tough games, getting to 6 wins and a bowl is imperative for national image in general and recruiting specifically. It is much harder to sell a dream to recruits if you have not been able to do it more than once in six years. Then it becomes less of a dream and simply BS. Get to a bowl and you can sell the "you will be part of this turnaround" pitch more realistically.

If we can't win today, our road to six wins will have turned to a detour up Mt. Denali. Not to say we can't still make the summit but the the odds will go down markedly.

Time to lay a heaping helping of number 34 and the boys on the Cards and then see how far we can take the rest of the season from there.
