[QUOTE="Sheboygan, post: 776198, member: 4690"] I understand your viewpoint. I think it is a matter of degree of improvement we have made and/or will make. In my mind, I didn't think I was posting anything particularly antagonizing. I realize there are ( many?) people on this board who are more "football smart " than me. Because they have a more informed viewpoint is fine. Like I said , I don't use phrases like " keep drinking the kool aid, or what the hell are YOU smoking ". I see year three as either a year our progession continues or reaches a ( temporary?) plateau that slows our momentum. The abundant transfers just complicate the situation, IMO. Sure , we can bring them in, but we can also lose them just as quick. Like in most things NCAA football, the rich will get richer and the mediocre will remain just that. BETTER players transfer because they want more playing time, leading to MORE EXPOSURE, IMO, to get to the next level. Losing teams can offer them the playing time......the exposure not so much. As a Physical Therapist , I would see patients 2-3 days post-op that had knee replacements. They were in pain, they couldn't move, etc. I told them I understood , BUT there was only a limited window of opportunity to fully rehab ( turnaround) their knee to regain full strength and range of motion. It was imperative that they had to make steady progress from day one , to avoid scar tissue, muscle wasting, etc. If that is not an exact comparison, maybe it makes my point. Today, many people want instant gratification, especially fair weather fans. CGC generated great excitement, using the word " elite" a lot. People also generally see and hear what they want to see and hear, especially the only casual observer. When this pandemic is over, we need more people in the stands desparately, IMO. We need the vibe about GT to continue and grow. We will not find 55,000 serious observers who can appreciate statistics about improved play. They want to walk out the stadium with a win. We can console ourselves with statistical improvement, but IMO, that will not last past year 3. [/QUOTE]
