Seems pretty standard, no real shockers there.

Central fell off fast. Will they have a qb this year, or are they still starving for one?

I mean they did hire a coach with a 1-21 career record... ;)

It will be interesting to see if money and facilities make a difference for him.

[Predatory Primates]

It's kind of a fun time with lots of new and newish coaching staffs trying to figure out how to win in the conference. Sort of leaves everything up in the air.

For Pitt, I like that the team and staff seem mad about how they finished last year.

They almost got beat by MSSU. They shouldn't be very happy!

His mentor was 6-16 after 2 years so who knows. I wish Lambo(and AD)well except when they play NW

Southern is definitely on the rise.

I think they're mad about giving up the lead late and losing 3 games by a handful of points.

I'm aware... it was said in jest, but that doesn't make it any less factual.

For sure... he is definitely coming into a better environment than his first go round. I'm sure he gained some perspective from his tenure there and adding a few more years of coaching experience at ACU... I would expect better results this time.

idk what we have.
new skill guys all over, transfer rb i think that i know nothing about
couple others too rw mentioned at media days that idr at the moment.
breaking in some new lb's & big pieces up front.
i don't reckon our kicking game could be any worse.
hohensee staying healthy will go a long way to determining the success of our season.
lots of ?s for us to answer.

pitt appears to be on the rise.
nk presumably will be near the top as long as that qb is there but until that defense improves they won't win it, time will tell what they have on that side of the ball ty.
hays will be tough b/c they always are w/ that coach. no idea about wburn or mw.
unless co was loaded & just bumbled up by the last guy ad's impact won't be felt for a couple yrs.
central looked void of talent ly. guessing it'll take jl some time to rebuild the roster to whatever extent he is able.

it's a cool season going in b/c there are so many ?s at so many places, should be fun to sort out.

somebody might dominate but as it looks right now i think it's wide open regardless of the polls just b/c of all the ?s at so many places.

I think they're mad about giving up the lead late and losing 3 games by a handful of points.

They are, but they also recognize they only beat Emporia State by two points, Southern by four points, and Central Oklahoma by six points. From their perspective, their record was probably what it should have been, but not how it should have been.

Pitt is definitely headed in the right direction.

They will have some pretty glaring question marks at qb, db, and DL. It'll be fun to see more of Wright's recruits take the field.
