Agree . Rocky may not want to hear it But our OOC could be very important, if getting to the best of the G5 Bowl game is a goal for this team?. Stan: when we were growing , the MWC was the focus. When asked about Cal LAST May he was mute. Now, he knows we have the talent to beat them , maybe everybody. You won't see him talking about "preseason " this year. Times have changed. But and this is a big but, there is a missing element that has to be added before this team can win and win and .......... Do you know what it is?

If you and other truly knowledgeables keep observing that truth, we will know how it will play out. I only harp on this because the casuals who have never understood football think the coach is a Svengali. Thanks for being thoughtful . We did not have a greatly talented senior class last year , but Sanchez, Fely, Price, Whittaker and others had IT. And you have nailed it.

You missed a key guy who had IT and was critical to our success last year - the Preacher, Pitts. He's going to be tough to replace. We will see how well this class can lead. Rocky puts a lot on his seniors, and although this class will be much more talented on the field, off the field and in the locker room is still tbd.

My favorite line: "...(e.g. cornerback J.J. Whittaker, linebacker Jake Fely, and defensive end Jon Sanchez were world-class players)." Haha.

Nice to know that we are not under the radar So, let me get this correct. Do you think we are not under the radar solely because there was an article written on todaysu.com? I'm just going to support our guy until our guy isnt our guy anymore.

Your comment has nothing to do with my statement regarding the source, todaysu.com I don't even know who you are referring to with your unspecified pronoun "guy". FYI, I support our team, coaches, AD and president.

There has been quite a bit of buzz about SDSU's potential to have either an undefeated or one-loss season. This is probably the third or fourth such article I've seen. People are noticing. A 10-game win streak will do that. Yes, but this one is from todaysu.com. Haha Oh ffs... here's the link to an article in the fn USA Today that says the same thing... >>> Good enough for ya? <<<

I was previously aware this was a topic in the news, but seriously why is todaysu.com a "source" people refer to!? Nothing to do with the topic, more the "source".

I totally get that not every crayon in the box can be a bright color, so I guess I really don't mind explaining my post. In reply to a poster's response that it's nice to see we're 'on the radar' of the sports media, you dismissively derided both his/her post as well as the fact we're getting national pub by simply dismissing the source cited in this particular OP, even though anticipation of our forthcoming season - and our potential ceiling - has received national attention from multiple other sources (e.g., USA Today). Seriously? WTF? To what end? It was a truly trollish post IMO. But you are right about the graphic somewhat - based on your last post, I'd say this is more your speed:

This thread appears to have run it's course. I hope you'll join me in looking for the mags late this month and into June. Obviously we'll be rated 1-2 with the hated Bosies. Most will pick them. I'm guessing Phil Steele will pick us as top dog over them after the division's play out. The other mags still will be reading their dated clips. Your thoughts?

IMO goal should be getting the best rating in the top 25 teams and Winning the Best G5 Bowl game . Where we are rated during summer is nice but where we are after Winning the MW is key . As mentioned BSU and Houston are the favorites of the National viewers ( plus believe both have both won the best of G5 Bowl before ) . So best performance during OOC and conference play for the best of the G5 teams . All starts with our OOC schedule , as it does with the other G5 teams . Also important could be the thoughts of the National media about the MW and AAC schools ?
