A thousand apologies, Mike Rino. It appears our comment system has a grudge against you. Or maybe it just can't handle multiple uses of the word "Toledo." Let us know if it happens again, but it should be fixed now.

I know. I am not a good person. I'll try to talk us both off the ledge this offseason so that we can have blind optimism come kickoff with Oregon in September. Sound good?

No. We should keep our expectations high. It's just that worriers like me won't be able to enjoy anything for the next few years.

By all means, keep hoping. This team has the potential to be great, but I'm too caught up on what-ifs and what-could-have-beens to enjoy right now. That's what the next eight months are for, right?
