Confidence or bulletin board material? You decide: "It's a pretty tough schedule. But the work that we put in this offseason as a team, we feel like it's easy money."

Good frame of mind, but don't know that I would have voiced it aloud.

He didn't call out anyone. He said we have a tough schedule. How's that bulletin board material?

I decide new mindset and they just need to back up the new found swagger!

Love it! Sounds like a confident, team leader.

He is talking in general terms - if he says 'they are a tough team but we feel like its easy money' going into the Civil Conflict then bulletin board material...

I love it. Sounds like the teams that knew they were going to be able to pound the ball regardless of who they were playing.

after what we saw last year... it's encouraging.. gotta have confidence... nobody's expecting much from us this year, even the majority of our fans... good thing the team does... and I'm with them on that... enough bulletin board material has been posted downing us, which, honestly, is expected (proof on our W-L record since Edsall left us)...

Time to Turn Up... #RiseUp #HuskyUp

I will take quotes like this 10000000x over the same ol' lame quotes we used to get from the PP/GDL era. "We'll go back and look at film", "We need to make a few adjustments", "TowNson just out-executed us but we'll look at film and get better"...

The guys are just starting to believe in themselves and in each other. Who knows how that will translate on the field, but I see it as a good thing that the players are talking again about winning, expecting to win, and dominating opponents rather than just hoping to get better by looking at film. College players run a lot on emotion and a team that comes out of tunnel thinking that they are going to lose is going to lose.
