It is way early, and I hate to introduce
MBB on the
FB board, but so far, the Royals timing is almost perfect.
New GM comes on board -- generate momentum
Stadium improvements underway -- momentum
New manager on board -- momentum
Off to a Nice 7-2 record against great teams --> great timing
I am a little frustrated that
JP's timing has not worked out as well for him. He has done about all he can in generating momentum for the
FB and
MBB programs. New coaches, record ticket sales, facility improvements announced (
MBB) and underway (
FB).
But now, the coaches (and teams) need to come through with some wins, or the momentum will get all jacked up. No one is expecting miracles, but I think year 2 under GC and year 3 under
GMac need to demonstrate some clear progress or Big Mo will start to slide.
I have a lot of confidence in
FB due to the schedule easing and our play improving last year.
MBB? Jury still out. But a solid
FB season would go a long ways for taking pressure off
GMac.
We need at least one of the programs to have a good year to keep this train rolling. Can't take our programs to the next level on
WBB and wrestling success only.
