Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4841086, member: 12088"] I understood what you meant, and I think we get to compare the freshmen to upperclassmen because that's who they'll play against in practice and in games. Obviously we need to make allowances for experience and maturity -- that's the very stuff comparisons are made of. Perhaps that's what you were thinking too, that allowances needed to be made and maybe you thought I wasn't making enough of them. On the other hand, if you think they're too emotionally delicate to withstand any such comparison -- assuming any of the players even read the BY -- I think you're mistaken. They are very sturdy and measure themselves against upperclassmen all the time. [/QUOTE]
