Sept 11 v Rice — Reaction

above: blurry final score

A heartbreaker.

Yet my heart isn't broken. The climb back to respectability is long and hard. I see this whole thing as progress.

Where we stand on Dodge's status is irrelevant. I'll get into the coaching mistakes later. You have to look at the facts: in two out-of-conference games so far this season, we have played decently. I know an average of 30+ points a game is not something normally called 'decent.' This team isn't normal, though. They have sucked for five years. They have been a team that allows 77 points, 59 points, shitton of points, omfg number of points and so on.

So it is improvement.
