LU and My Broncos

Well, I now have been to TWO LU games and they have lost both times. Yikes. Losing to Butler by 2, I can understand. Losing to Valpo at home by 10 is inexcusable. Lets hope they turn around this conference record fast. I do like that the season is in full swing. I enjoy going to games so much and I feel it keeps me young...until I see the college students...they look so YOUNG! ha.

Well, McDaniels was fired yesterday. I thought it was quite strange in timing. The Broncos have been such a good team for so long that a bottoming out is just not acceptable. I do think he got a little screwed. Two big things: Our defensive starters have missed 48 games so far this year (i.e if 4 starters miss all 12 games that is 48) including Elvis Dumervil who has been out all year. Yeah, he lead the nation in sacks last year. We were 7th in the nation last year and now are 29th. Our offense points per game has increase each year he was there. He is clearly getting fired for defensive play.

I also do not like that the Broncos hired a GM with no experience at the same time as they hired a coach with new experience. He should be fired too. McD also never lost his players. They were always in his corner. McD is gone nonetheless. It should be interesting who they bring in.

Over the last 20 season, this season will mark only the 4th time they had a losing record. The next coach has a lot to do and fast!

Happy Tuesday!
