obviously a million things can change in 2 years time, but if the above guys all progress well then I think our first year in the PAC could be OK. The key being Hirschman and the RB's obviously, but the talent around them should be pretty good.

The 2011 class will be crucial for our momentum in the new conference. I sure hope we see some great things come out of our new alignment with the Pac, despite the coaching chaos.

I think Miller's coming back in 2011 too, correct? I doubt he leaves early. He's a year behind Solder.

 

[DeNiro]

Also Ussery at WR and Celastine, I think both will be contributing

 

[13Buff]

I would think Ussery would be in the starting line up also.

based it on 2012, so Miller & Celestine would be gone.

Ussery at Safety based on BuffNik's info.

That lineup is scary...not in a good way.

That lineup is scary...not in a good way.

the front seven has some potential. The rest is kind of ordinary although many of those players have yet to see the field so its tough to judge.

As they have had for the past two years...I'm tired of that word. It's like asking a girl out and her saying no, but she's sure you'll find someone better suited for you. Uh, thanks bitch.

I guess I missed this, did they make this move before or after Simas decided court wasn't important?

The lineup looks um, not exactly exciting. The starters you listed are certainly some of the young guys I'm more excited about, but the backups really don't do it for me. Depth is quite frightening.

 

[Unleash Hell]

How about the lineup for '11, because that will be the year we start Pac play

 

[Del]

Not holding by breath for Nick Sherry because Feb is a long way off. Unless things just "pop" this year and we have worked out "all the little things" I don't see us having a winning record, Hawkins will/should get **** canned and with all of that I could see us having a lot of last minute change of hearts a la Munchie last year. Recruiting is going to really suck for us until Hawkins is out and we have a least one full season with the new guy.

Basically the same as this year without McKnight, Solder, Stevens, Herrod, Beatty, Sipili, Jalil and Jimmy.

 

[sackman]

More interested in who the head coach will be, frankly.
