Grade C (Satisfactory)



If the team didn't show any fight (even though they seem unsure of themselves at times); then it would be easy to give them a poor mark. Like it or not; it's a team taht looks like it's out there for the first time trying to find their way to having a positive identity in this league. In part because of al the turmoil in recent memory. They have a feel like they're surprised that they can win some when they're expected to lose; and they're far from being a team that fans can go into a game and feel like "we should have this game in the bag".

yet we can say that wecan't envision a team who can out right beat us and we have no hope in beating like i did the past few years. true, we are an incosistent team with overrated talent. but they are not an utter failure and i do not have a false sense that they will improve like last year. i know they will. but don't get it twisted. my standards are always high for this team as it was in 99 or 94. i am still not satistfied and won't be until a championship.
