Sounds like I might owe Messingham an apology? I've been gone all day and just got home, so I have no idea how the offense looked today, but you certainly can't argue with the points scored and the outcome.

Great job today Clones!

I'm glad you gave the offense credit. I agreed with you about our offense being really bad (which it was), but thought it was a little premature to say the hiring was a mistake. Each game will help us get a better picture for how much improvement we see from the offense.

Was he on the field for this game? 4-0?

I don't believe so. I saw Sturdy down there on TV so I would guess Mess was upstairs which is where he needs to be unless Sturdy is more involved than I think. I get the teaching thing but the OC needs to upstairs for our team and offense.

From what I've heard, 'little' and 'premature' are often used in reference to clonedude.

The offense continues to have things it needs to work on, but one can't argue with another 30-point put out.
