The truth is the truth even if few believe it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.

Congrats to Connor and Ayir.

If, say, three or four games ago, we had offered 25-1 odds that CD would, at any time this year, win back-to-back POW awards, do you think we'd have had any takers?

Ayir Assante: wow, hasn't he come on the scene with a bang!! Anyone who has not done so needs to watch and re-watch the highlights to enjoy that 69 yard touchdown (Gilliam's as well) . AA catches the ball on the 38 yard line, with two defenders a yard or two away and another he must run past, and then just rockets away/past them, and a couple of others, as he runs 62 more yards for the score. Someone asked when the last time was that a freshman caught two TD passes in a game---I'll see if I can find out.

Let me be the first to admit, I wouldn't have taken 100-1 odds. Glad I was wrong.

trying to predict this stuff is like nailing jelly to the wall. (and just about as worth while)
just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Right you are...and if you were to look at pre-season threads you’d see that many were very worried about the receiver corps. I think I projected “breakout seasons” for Ayeni and my avatar Gilliam, but I certainly had no idea about Asante.
