Causeway Classic Thread Did someone beckon?
We are alive, emerging from the shadows! I think someone nailed it when they said the last few years took the wind out of our sails. It killed off a lot of enthusiasm for the program (what remained), as evidenced by lack of activity at SacBuzz. I think a lot of Hornet fans are still cautious about this season, even now. This kind of came out of nowhere, most of us expected 2-3 wins again and Sears to be gone.
It's really best for both programs when they are winning, we kind of need each other long-term to succeed.
I was not a fan of Sears coming into the year, but he's really won me over. This team has a crap load of talent and plays a style that is fun to watch. They attack on defense, pound the ball and take deep shots on offense. Sears appears to have laid a great future foundation, focusing on the lines on both sides of the ball. I've done a 180 (360 for those of you with a UCD "degree") on Sears and hope he is re-signed regardless of the Causeway outcome. Only hiring McClure would be acceptable if they move on from Sears, IMHO.
Saturday should be a blast. The stadium is looking great, beer garden is awesome and they park about 10 delicious food trucks in the north end zone. Stingers Up!
