OK, so the first game is behind us and I know both Dons will have more insightful comments than I do. Nonetheless, here's a few thoughts:
Much faster pace - I like it. Less time for nail biting.
Explosive running - Cierre Wood was a nice surprise, but did he get hurt? It's hard to get everything when there's a screaming 15 year old in the room with you. The second half was more peaceful when he and Dad went to watch the SU game in the other room.
Dayne Crist - better than I thought. Still has work to do.
We didn't get a lot of penalties, so that was good too.
What's up with the safety? I also didn't appreciate the fumble, but it's early in the season. We can't afford to make these kinds of errors if we're going to take on the rest of the teams on our schedule.
Overall, I'm not convinced we're set for the season, especially when the 4th quarter brought back memories of last season's 'give up' attitude in one half or the other. At least it didn't last as long this time.
Guys - I'll be looking for your take on this! I didn't see Angela in the band, but again, there's a lot of kids out there on the field. Much easier to find an individual when we were there.
Go Irish! Beat Michigan - they're undefeated, and we really need to handle them well to set a good precedent for this fall.

Great analysis Rosie. Many of the notes I took resemble your comments to the letter. Don't know that I'll get mine done tonite or not.
And since it's officially tomorrow on the East Coast--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Don't forget the bowl game Rosie. TWELVE more to go!
Thanks for the b-day wishes, Colonel. We're into day 2 of the celebrations (it's nice having a holiday-weekend birthday).
Godfather, I hope we get a good bowl gme! These boring New Year's Day events with no team to care about make me crazy.
