For fuck's sake - STOP IT!
It is a shithole that is only sold out for the biggest games. It is orders of magnitude less imposing than, for example, opening at Kyle Field last year. Smack them early and the place will be silent.
As for this year, I am very optimistic. Our D and run game will give our new QB - whoever it is - time to develop. We have dudes all across our lineup with depth that we have not enjoyed in a very long time.
I will be disappointed with anything less than a couple of playoff wins this season.
Can we please stop with the narrative that Hard Rock is an oppressive environment?
