1. On football I'm just stating what I see as the facts AS I SEE THEM. This season was a total failure across the board. I didn't expect much, I predicted 4-8 (0-8). We managed to do worse than that. I do see some small signs that on offense we might possibly be on the right track. It's a long, long way from where it needs to be though, the running game especially. On defense it's just BAD. We only have one real SEC caliber player, and he is a freshman. We are SMALL up front and get totally blown off the ball in most games. With the coaches Lebby WILL be back. We can NOT fire a HC two years in a row, we just can't. He probably gets the next year as well, no matter what. As for the DC, the odds a high he will back as well. that doesn't mean it's a lock, just pretty high. We all underestimated just how TOTAL this rebuild was going to be. The cupboard is as baren as I have ever seen it at MSU, and that's saying a LOT.
2. BASKETBALL: It's pretty apparent now what we are going to be. We are an outside oriented team. When the shots fall, we are capable of a lot. When they don't, we are going to find it tough. The key to any sort of positive consistency is going to be relentless effort on defense. We just HAVE to have that. I think we might be a little better than we were last year, but the record very well may not show it. The SEC is loaded this year.
