Initially looking at schedule the road games peaked interest more.. So I had eyes on @Clemson and @ND.. but with Cali game being game #1 its like a great excuse on holiday weekend to make it out there and make a trip out of it.. but 3 road games after last year playoffs knowledge/experience.. Im torn if I should do all 3 road games..

Ok, now I am part Germania. Mom side.

But.... My real last name and where my f****** lines belong is Scottish. My real last name is Karik.

A little known fact that you're just now reading. My family's clan fought next with William Wallace.

And when I get really drunk at night. I listen to The Pogues. And Black44s.

And some of that old trying to come up in America grit s***.

And the ones that actually accepted me in the end after I blew out my knee was hip Hop. And that is ....

That's why my longtime friend who's now become a baby Cane. Filew out too Miami to watch his comeback against FSU at our house couple years ago.

Did the Cal game with me.

Miami never plays on the west coast so I always feels like it's something you got to jump at the opportunity
 
Not sure what Stanford added but they weren’t very good last year at 4-8 but we were in a 7-7 game with them at home in the 3rd quarter before pulling away. We have to make that long trip and they also have a tune up game before us so I’ll go 34-17 Cames

Hear all of that loud and clear. For real. But people don’t understand what this offense is going to be. We’re scoring 7 before we get off the bus. On everyone.

Our team just played for the chip.

We are going to miss our Monsters on the d line.

But .. that did from Missouri is going to be really good. Another year under Heatherman. I think our defense is going to still be nasty.

West Coast trip. Canes pull off the dogs in the 4th quarter. 38-14

Remember back in the late '90s early 20s.

Giant f****** bong rips. Bad boys were 5 footers.

You put some of that f****** NorCal crystal Ganja. The smoke that f****** thing and you're f****** high from your head to your f****** toes.

It was a Zoinks. I'm just drunk on cheap beers right now and box wine.

5 footers? Weak.

Are you more bullish on the offense than before?

Than before what/when?

I’d be shocked if this isn’t a Top 10 offense nationally in essentially every metric. I think we have the best skill players collectively in the entire country. With just a slightly above-average OL combined run/pass blocking, we are going to embarrass people. It’ll be a lot closer to 2024 than it was 2025.

I’m assuming the OL is going to be, at worst, pretty good. Maybe I’m wrong. But I trust who we have and who is coaching it.

So, with that in mind, I genuinely believe a lineup of Mensah throwing to Barkate/Moore/Upshaw/Jacobs/Vaughn/Lofton and handing the ball to Marty/Pringle/Lyle is a Top 25-ish offense nationally.

Now add Malachi Toney and Mark Fletcher to that.

Mensah > Beck
Toney Year 2 > Toney Year 1
Barkate > Daniels
WR3 (take your pick) > Marion
Lofton has to be better than he was last year
Fletcher 2026 > Fletcher 2025
Marty 2026 > Marty 2025
Pringle 2026 > Pringle 2025
Lyle didn’t even really play last year

We upgraded literally every single spot on the entire offensive skill groups, and we have probably 10 kids between the WR and RB groups that start on 90% of the teams in the country.

I *think* Mario and Dawson have finally figured out that you can trust your defense AND be explosive on offense. In 2024, we threw it all over the yard because we knew we needed to score 30+ to beat anyone. They played the complete opposite last year. I think they finally have this roster exactly where they want it. They fully trust both sides and feel this can be an offensive AND defensive team. It’s finally all here. You don’t need to try to hide anything. If you had to, you can win a game 40-35, and also 20-17. I have to believe they finally get that.

I really couldn’t be more bullish on this team, but especially the offensive skill talent. We are ******* frightening.

Could of been before spring, not sure. I think the mark was more top 20 offense and reading scoring 7 before getting off bus seemed more aggressive which is exciting.. Expecting fireworks also..
