Whether we like it or not, the portal has changed the game.

I'm not so sure the traditional powerhouse teams have gotten worse because of it, but the traditional door mats have damn sure gotten better.

The days of being able to play sub par and still beating teams by 30 points are LONG gone. You've got to bring your A game every single Saturday.

We've struggled with 3 teams that 5 years ago we beat the shite out of. This is the new norm and the sooner everyone comes to terms with this the lesser we'll melt down after Saturdays like yesterday.

Yes, there is MUCH improving to do with our execution and alighment but the issues are much more complicated than that.

Thems facts boys.
