This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thoughts on today by Raoul

1) Winning with a QB who didn't play at all (did he?) and was de facto #3 is something very Ara-esque. Kelly is not Ara, but it sure was great to see Pyne shine in his moment. And he won with that pass to Austin, he didn't simply keep us from losing.

2) The D keeps improving. And Freeman seems to be learning (even as he still plays 3-3-5 at times).

3) This was a signature win for Freeman and if we beat Cincy and USC with good performances you can be sure he will be soaring up the head coaching candidate lists. He checks a hell of a lot of boxes that most could want.

4) Our DL depth is incredibly impressive. There was a time when DL was always our shallowest unit talent wise.

5) Cam Hart's int's were very impressive. He made them, they didn't just show up in his hands.

6) Easy to forget the spark that was lit by Tyree. Rocket-esque in speed and timing of the play, changing the whole game's momentum.

7) Austin can be good but so often he doesn't translate his talent into on field performance. But he showed why he has so many who like him.

Great win. Fun win. Not all wins are fun.
