I doubted last season's team too. So who knows.
I'm definitely irritated whenever my team looks like they're the freshman playing the varsity. Or maybe it's the sophomores, since we did kick a few field goals.
What I think is going on with Shanny vs McVay is that Shanny straight owns his ass. It's a testament to McVay and his team that he got that big game in the NFCCG but overall Shanny has owned him and beaten him with lesser pieces.
But anyway. Maybe I'm lashing out. And what matters is who each team is at the end of the season. Only one team is not living that greek tragedy.
