Rumors of our new dynasty have been greatly exagerated.

without sea changes, I don't think we win the conference. Three losses in conference play seemed impossible on Friday, but on Sunday it is very possible.

It's a very real possibility that this team loses to TCU, Wyoming and Utah ... I even think it will be tough to beat CSU.

It seems that way now. But then again to most, last Saturday it looked like we could (and should) run the table. Making judgments based upon wildly fluctuating emotions is extremely inaccurate.

Hey there is one piece of good news. The punter wasn't atrocious.

He actually improved, as did our return game.

Yeah, I feel way better.

No it's not about emotion. It's about not knowing the strength of your opponents. Suddenly beating Arizona, now that they have lost to New Mexico, does not look very impressive. And of course, the loss to UCLA is looking less impressive.

Now if you had thought UCLA would be 2nd in the pac-10 and that Arizona would be 5th or 6th, you're pretty happy. But if it turns out the UCLA is 5th and Arizona is 9th, then you have to readjust.

Arizona is obviously not in the same universe as a signature win. Before it was a very good win. Now it's a ho-hum win.

Uh, actually that's not my point ... you're really not very good at this because you argument is inane and ineffective. You have now attempted to put words in my writing to frame my intended meanings to favour your point of view.

I expect more Mike, not only from the coaching staff --on both sides of the ball-- but from you.

Come on, you can do better!

Did you guys think that maybe Hall is to comfortable with the line? Maybe he didnt feel much pressure in fall camp and is too confident in the O-line so he doesnt feel like he needs to make quick decisions.

I think he is being put in too many very difficult situations ... very much like Beck was the season before last. I think his moxy and early success has inibriated Anae. Offensively we need to be more patient.

For Mike's sake ...

Bronco needs to turn over the Defensive play calling to someone else.
