First!

But seriously, I don't remember being optimistic and/or enthusiastic during the lead-up to the season over the past few years.  However, last year turned out to be better than I expected because of the coaching change.  I am hopeful that Coach Campbell and his staff have put together a cohesive Team of student-athletes who will represent the university, students, fan base, and themselves admirably.
