0-2 stings like something awful, but I sincerely hope all the commits realize that this program has looked better going 0-2 than many past teams have going 2-0. Hope everyone can see that this program is a playmaker or two from making some serious noise, and stay commited through the whole process.

Sorry guys--have to be " real about this"---close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades--BK is now 8 wins and 7 losses--thats a gerry faust like start---if i am ,and you are, feeling so very down, to expect cheers and happy talk from our commits is whistling in the wind--expect decommits--especially with what will likely be more losses.---win 9 of the last ten and we will live another day in recruiting---go 6-6 and the class will devolve without any doubt. Tough to face i know, but hiding from it won't help either.

It will be interesting how the recruits will react to these Losses. Some will think "wow they need me" and others will say "I want to go to a team that is winning NOW." Guess time will tell who is who....

i understand we're 0-2, but this team would mop the floor with last year's team. all these people standing on the ledge need to calm down. we're heading in the right direction.

This year's schedule is harder than last year's schedule. Our secondary is worse without Walls. Otherwise, I agree. We could easily go win 4 in a row here heading into USC week... but by the same toke if we lose to MSU the season is shot.

5 turnovers a game isn't bad luck. It's basically par for course for Tommy Rees + a couple fumbles/muffs. He needs to show improvement taking care of the ball. And Gary Gray needs to start playing like Gary Gray. I believe in that guy. I don't know what happened these past 2 games. It's time for him to bounce back.

it is safe to say that we are going to start losing recruits shortly imo...uncertainty will surround the program starting this week from the media and alumni and my worst nightmare will probably come to reality once again...starting all over with a new coach. i hate to be a pessismist, but i've been a fan too long and seen this happen too often and i'm sick of it.

to be honest...the only one of that group we'll truly miss is floyd...the others will be replaced eventually with reps and experience, don't forget manti could jet too if we have a bad year and he says heck with it i'm gonna go get paid, and don't buy into the he really wants an education because we've seen it before.

it's in-evitable that the schedule next year is going to hurt us badly
