law, the dinner time comment means we will have played out the season by then, and only then can it be fairly judged. My take will be:
lose to UNC & UVA & beat ugag=a very successful season.
win first 2 and lose a close hard fought one to ugag=a successsful season.
win first 2 and suffer a blowout vs. ugag=a major disappointment calling for a thorough examination of the program beyond that of the HC. Even a cursory study of the losses from the team we lost 51-7 to will explain my rationale.
As for how I will feel if we beat ugag by one point...FRIGGIN GREAT! Some games are simply more important than others and some are MANY times more important. The ugag game will always be the latter. Can u name who we won or lost to just prior to the ugag game in '89,90,98,99,00 without looking it up? No? Can u tell me who won the ugag game?
For the most part, I agree about not knowing about Chan until next year, but a finish similar to last year coupled with the Vandy,CU, & Duke games would leave serious doubts in my mind. Also, a FULL recruiting class with several players OFFERED by other major programs will be crucial to his evaluation and that of our program at large. Hope this answered your question. THWG
