I'll answer as a PSU homer. At this point in Cael's coaching career it's expected. Howard should AA, Bartlett finish no lower than 5th. Van Ness is the next Retherford at 49, Haines the next Nolf, Facundo should have a Mark Hall type of career. PSU fans expect success. There's no way Cornell should even compete with us.
I agree with everything you posted. Just offering the blue colored glasses point of view.
