What is your excitement level now?

4, was hoping to see what the rookie had to see if it still needed to be addressed next draft with this loaded draft class. What happens if Baker does decent? He wants 25-30mil a year and tie up cap when maybe we have a rookie that can be sufficient.

Went from a 3 to a 5. There's still not a ton to be excited about this season. Loved the Icky pick but LTs aren't sexy and often not impact players in year 1. Also loved the Corral pick but reality is the odds of him contributing at all in year 1 are extremely low. We still have Rhule who is a big concern and some concerns on defense. McCaffrey's health and Baker's play are the two wildcards, if both turn out as we hope I could see us being a wildcard playoff team which would be awesome but it's just still very hard to get excited about this team more than a 5 right now. Maybe if the last 4 years hadn't been so terrible. Also those past 4 years will make it hard for me to get excited even if we start the season off hot as we are now accustomed to collapses in the 2nd half of the season. Would not surprise me at all to start the season like 5-1 with Baker dominating only to see us finish 7-10. The team has not earned the benefit of the doubt in any regard since Tepper took over as owner, so they'll need to prove it to me before I start really getting excited.

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
    • Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
    • Icky has had a great year. He only struggled last game because he got hurt before halftime.
