I am a Tampa Bay Buccaneer football fan. Last year my team started 4-2 and lost its last 10 games in a row. The last game of 2011 I went to Atlanta in person. The team trailed 42-0 midway in the second quarter. That may happen in a top 10 10 school against a Division II but pretty rare in NFL football. Raheem Morris was deservedly fired.
We hired a Coach from Rutgers named Greg Schiano. The team is now 6-5 and even more relevant is the team is in every game win or lose. All of our losses are 7 points or less with all 5 losses totalling a 23 point difference.
Tomorrow with the NFL's worst pass defense with two rookie undrafted free agents dbs, 37 year old safety, they play Payton Manning. I expect thenm to put up a tough fight even though they should lose to Denver.
Although Pellini is not as successful as Schino has been, he has made FAU a better ball club despite only one draft class. It is not the wins going up to pay attention to although the win over Troy was only our second win against them
It is the competitiveness. Last year it is was a miracle for a game to be competitive in the third quarter. This team was 1-11 and without the Herculean effort of Alfred Moris, it could have been easily 0-12.
Give Pellini a chance.

Unfortunately, two happened today.
Would have been great to pull one out for the Seniors, but, regardless, the future is looking bright!
Might have to wear shades.
