Glass half full 🥃
Speaking of….

But yeah this year will be interesting. We’ve heard all of the excuses on why we were so bad last year. Were some valid? Probably. Were some just excuses? Probably.

I like the general direction the program is going but after years of struggling to beat the Virginia’s of the world it’s kinda tough to allow my brain to entertain anything beyond that without it just being torture

So is the biggest news coming out of the bbq:
1. Ruiz is going under
2. our mystery recruit was not a big time whale we needed to keep under wraps but a borderline top 250 player
3. No commits
Something doesn’t seem to add up
The amount of hype this year has been epic in regards to recruiting whales but the results have been extremely underwhelming

I am left to wonder, does Mario and the staff feed “insiders” this hype
Or do they just make it to generate internet traffic
If it’s number two I have no problem bc we all have to eat but if it’s number one then we should be concerned
Tell me this is sarcasm?

I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ll be at as many of the home games as I can make, and Temple. I may even take my oldest down to Canes Fest in August

At the same time, I was ready for full speed ahead and jumped on the Mario train last year and it was a complete fail, so I’m a little less patient with the excuses, illusions and storytelling about his grandeur vs. just admitting that it was a complete mess, he’s not going anywhere, he needs to adapt and improve so let’s ******* go…
 
A tongue and cheek way of voicing my concerns
Hahahah
I get called a troll if I come out and say this sucks
We need football.

People were losing their minds and Mario lands Lightfoot and Trader and suddenly he doesn't suck anymore.

Recruiting aint for the faint of heart but legitimately it is time to put up or shut up on the field.

So, zero commitments?

If people allowed themselves to be immersed in unrealistic expectations, that’s their own fault. But it would explain some of the whimpering around here, I suppose

While I agree that allowing oneself to fall for unrealistic expectations is a foolish self inflicted issue, I believe the expectations were and are used as a key selling point related to Mario as a HC…
