OK, but it seems like we've been saying that for a few years now. Before last season it was thought that our WR corps was "loaded". Remember that?
I always enjoy a good pessimistic post in the signing day thread.

The last time we had a losing reg. season was 2013, if my memory serves me correct.Except for the most recent history.
Hopefully the new talent turns into some wins. It's exciting to see the recruiting "success" but it's really hollow without actual success on the field.
I know, I know. Debbie Downer. I'm always excited about a new group of Frogs coming in and this year is no different. It's just tough to put the failures of the last couple years out of my head.
The way they have all these rankings and the way they cover recruiting these days, it can almost feel like we're playing another game. We make fun of other team's lack of success and brag about how well we do just like on Saturdays, but in the end it's a bunch of 17 and 18 year old kids who aren't really even grown up yet and haven't played a game. Who in the hell really knows how they are going to turn out? I mean it is important and its fun to follow but the whole recruiting industry has kind of gotten out of hand. Who determines whether a kid is given a .8743 ranking or a .8872 ranking. Does it really matter?
I just basically ignore the ratings. I'm excited about the kids coming in, as always, but the stars and numbers next to their names might as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics as far as I'm concerned.The way they have all these rankings and the way they cover recruiting these days, it can almost feel like we're playing another game.

Her job can't be easy. New year, whole new group of kids to add being the mom away from home to.

As Moose alluded to, though, this is a signing day thread and we should focus on the guys coming in. I'm excited about all of them. Can't wait to hopefully get this disgusting losing taste out of my mouth in Berkeley in a few months with the help of some of these players.
Reg season is the 12 games. To get to a bowl, would have been 6-6, correct?2016: finished 6-7. Followed it up by going 11-3.
IncapableDude, wrong time/wrong place. Save it for another day.
