Beyond the obvious upgrades in talent, MM's demeanor on the sidelines may be one of the biggest differences. Like others have said, he's been fiery. Chewing on the refs. Pumped up and motivating his team if the other team is forced to call a timeout. Very different feel.

It also seems like we may have 27 members on the coaching staff. The bench behind the bench is jam packed with staff. Maybe its the one on one coaching!? We have enough staff for it.

This is his moment to build momentum. Football is a dumpster fire and baseball is a ways away. Win a couple of games and the fans will come out.

We may make some noise this year. The team is talented, long, experienced and athletic with some key pieces in place.

PGs can make a team go from being an average team to a good team. LSU has a really good one in Thomas. Natural floor leader with great vision. First PG of the McMahon era that can run his sets. Protects the ball and is going to be near the top of the league in assists.

Sutton could be a double double machine. Great inside out player and relentless energy. Can play with his back to the rim or step out for 3s. Very tough to guard.

Will be interesting to see how they do when the competition steps up but their scrimmage win against a pretty good UCF team at their place has given me some hope.

I have YTTV and an ESPN+ subscription but that doesn't necessarily mean that I will still get ESPN, ESPN2, SECN etc through the ESPN app...correct?

Didn't we grab Daniels out of the portal partly out of concern that the OL would not be able to protect Brennan and we needed someone with mobility?

Our tackles are turnstiles. I don't think Nuss is a bad QB, he is just a sitting duck waiting for things to develop downfield. MVB may be a better fit for this offense simply because he has some escapability to get out of there when the line ultimately breaks down.

Not to be repetitive, but we need to pick a lane. Anyone else see the irony of complaining about BR thug life on game day and then having a light show to a song in the stadium that celebrates BR thug life. How about collectively screaming STTDB but complaining when trashy things occur on campus? Who do we wanna be? You can't start the ride and then complain when it picks up speed.

Other seemingly inconsequential decisions that hastened the decline-
Closing of the Indian mounds- kids used to envelope it on game day as their play area. Kids mean families. Closed it and families left the area.

Charging to park overnight - the cost led to the rise of mega tailgates. Pooling resources to defray costs. This led to the decline of the smaller family oriented tailgates.

Forcing Greeks from their houses to the parade grounds- rather than college kids hanging out with other college kids in smaller groups on the edge of campus at their frat and sorority houses, we moved them all next to one another in one big drunken blur in the heart of campus. This also makes it easier for non students to join in. The largest green space on campus transforms from family tailgates with kids playing football to what it is now.

None seems like a big deal but all created a family void. That void got filled by something else.

The stadium collectively chants STTDB and we are surprised when trashy things happen. We bought the ticket and now we are riding the ride.

Seems like it never got above a brisk 96.
