So I went to the game yesterday and got the chance to meet the staff beforehand. I know someone on the staff so it was a great opportunity. Needless to say I just have a gut feeling about these guys going forward. Coach Smith, Coach Harriman, and Coach Miles are just plain old awesome. I can see how coaches, players, and fans really gravitate to these guys. Class acts from top to bottom. They really went out of their way to spare a minute as well as the players. This is truly a great TEAM. They may not have the talent we all hope the future teams will possess but they are special nonetheless. Just thought I'd share my encounter with them and no I will not say whom I know as that will stay a secret. As for Oregon, such a shame that they put the opposing teams' friends and family about 25 rows up from the floor in a corner.

People keep talking about Miles being a high energy guy. But, it's not just that he's high energy. It's that it's a positive energy. At least what most of the public sees. I hate to keep knocking Danny Nee but he might have been considered a high energy guy, too. But a lot of that energy was negative. Certainly what we were hearing about Billy Gillespie down at Texas Tech sounded like negative energy surrounding his program. I've seen both types. One of my bosses in the Army was verrrry high energy but it was that negative kind of energy. There was no dig too small that she didn't have time to make it. She was successful to a certain extent because she made sure that what needed to get done got done. But I look back at the various bosses I've had and she stands out singularly as one of my most hated ones. She was very high energy but most of it was negative. High energy is a double-edged sword. It's going to rub off on people and that can be either a very good thing or a very bad thing. So, when you talk about being optimistic about the future of the program based on a gut feeling from interacting with the coach, my guess is that what you experienced was zeal coupled with just a general positive frame of mind. Hopefully, Kamdy, he'll have that same affect on potential recruits.

Of course he is happier being bigger, losing weight sucks. But his body is not the happiest where it's at, time is going to be a pain on his knees and joints. I love Andre's skills, but I wish he would have got where he should be athletically.

i concur with your fat guy opnion, as a large man myself it was extreamly frustrating playing football in high school at a certain weight comfortably with no problems and having the basketball coach or rugby coach ask a unrealistic weight for you to be at. I like andre and i just hope he stays healthy and he has a fun senior year. This is what this season will ultimately be about.

Silver, I prefer to call us calorically gifted.

Norm, we can do this just as soon as our idiot coach takes a lesson from elite coaches like Dana Altman and stops losing games and starts winning them instead.

This team plays real hard....have to admire that. But its worth repeating just how poor we are talent wise right now. Ubel and Talley, god bless them, are nothing more than role players talent-wise but have to do it all. Their effort is admirable. Almeida and Gallegos are not good players, but will have the occasional big games. Problem is they will also have a number of games that they disappear in as well and it will kill us. Parker isn't very good. Shields has a chance to be decent in time. Peltz is scrappy but shouldn't be getting playing time on a Big 10 roster. Said it before and I'll say it again....I wish we could fast forward til next November
