Hawk, i assume you are posting at least partially TIC with an anti-anti-football tack to mock the football doubters.
THe first exhibition game was not all that bad. Tell me one P5 school that doesnt warm up or into their meatier schedule with cupcakes that they can not play perfect games to learn of personell and schemes!
If you are mocking CC football critics, do two wrongs make a right? Your lack of objectivity is fairly conspicuous on this thread and historically.
If i returned some of the same treatment of football and Bronco critics, wouldnt i say, go ahead and cheer for another team, say like UVU? or maybe just stick to football?
No, i wouldnt. but im just calling it out. You sound like Eeyore. Can i get a "Oh bother" out of you? that wording might be more congruent with your OP.

Kinks, and personnel to figure out. They'll be fine. It's hard to come out and play stellar against lower division opponents in basketball. You end up slowing your game and not playing the way you want to play when you aren't getting pushed back.
