I create a positive thread and none of the people griping about all the negativity post in it. Go figure.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Trying to stay positive, last night I kept going back and forth.
Last year, we had a horrible line. It was just bad. Everyone pointed to the center as the reason, but all the blame can't be placed on Bodine. I think if it had been a normal year (not contracts for Whit and Zeitler) and if it had been somebody besides Whit (who is generally liked by everybody), people would have been calling for changes. More than just 'we need a new center.'
We started in that direction a couple years ago, drafting OL.
I don't think the line will be much better next year, but I honestly don't think it will be any worse. And long-term, we might be better off for it.

I want to say we're rebuilding...but we knew Zeitler was gone. We're really just a 35-year old Whitworth down who would have likely declined to begin with.

I am positively certain there is little hope this team can do much next season let alone win in the playoffs.
But the key words are little hope, as in winning the mega millions kinda hope.
