Reminded me of 2003 Syracuse. The Deangelo and Randall show.

After seeing Fuente's interviews after 3 games now, I really feel like he projects this air of "stability" or "looking forward" (or something like it) - he's had almost the exact same demeanor after every game so far, and it feels like when he's answering a question about the game that just ended he's answering it by rephrasing the question to apply to his long-term view of the team or of individual players rather than the game itself. Even though we won pretty resoundingly, when he's answering questions about individual players or groups of players you can tell that there's a standard or goal that he's set for them to reach, and he's coaching them far more on the personal goals he set for them than he is on the group's overall win percentage. In this game, you can tell there are things that are still issues with him that he's going to be addressing, and I think that that's a great thing - whenever I've done anything competitive, team related or solo, the thing that motivates me most to improve is when I've set goals for myself to meet rather than base my goals on just winning the next match/game. I mean, you have to prep for the next game, but you're going to play better if you're playing to meet your and your team's goals for improving rather than meeting the goal of winning.

Long rambling aside, I think Fuente's shown a lot of his skill as a coach in the on field results tonight - cutting down on fumbles, cutting down on penalties, and having a team that was out there playing (for the most part) like a solid unit are all the result of a really strong week in practice, and it also shows that the team is really starting to trust what the coaches say, because they really rose up this week to play better overall.

Chipotle hands down, I used to live by the chesterfield courthouse, and stopped at the Moes there regularly. I liked it, but nothing special, more of a convenience thing than anything else. My wife introduced me to chipotle, and I haven't been the same since.

Georgia forces a fumble on Missouri while up by 1 with about a minute, and then tackles their own player to prevent any sort of mistake.

Three full quarters to gain 100 yds. Great defense and a horrible BC offense. Hope l never have to watch another Loffler offense again , but was happy that he was able to see what a real offense looks like. The great defense was not BC

I hope we watch his offense once annually for many years to come
