Checking in

First off, Hud, I meant to post this sooner.... if you're having trouble contacting me, write mstaubblog@hotmail.com I will get it and post it here for you, or at least answer you. Would love to get some more dialogue going with you. And you owe me a Pepsi.
As for our Blue Devils... let's do some quick hits here.
I went kind of in depth on the football team in the paper the other day... will do more on the upcoming game this week. The short of it is that CCSU believes that if it cleans up occasional mistakes on defense it can have a dominant group on that side of the ball.
On offense... I get the feeling that Hunter is on a short leash this week because of all the fumbles, whether you believe they are his fault or not. (And I'm not saying I do by the way). I also think you're starting to see Mac revert to his ways, and you'll see a lot less passing as the season goes on. However, I do believe a lot of the talk that the passing game has been underachieving is overdone. I'm not convinced this group is ever going to go off for like 400 yards passing in a game, Gator offense or not.

The men's soccer team has been reminded that it can't sleepwalk through the season. One bad stretch cost the Devils any chance to win the Siena game, and letdown late was costly against Yale, though I think the effort was solid for much of that game, if not the execution.

The women... I'm fascinated to see them again and figure out what the deal is. I knew the team would find trouble scoring goals, but I never thought the defense would give up five in a game. Though Hartford, a good source told me, is not a team to be taken lightly.

Anyway, what do you guys think about the year so far?
