I'm excited for this season. It's going to be brutal, though, though given the strength of the pre-conference schedule and the the Pac-12 meatgrinder. I just hope we can keep everyone healthy. The depth can help that, meaning that Tara can let people rest in games as needed.

So . . . , onward!

I would rather we play a tough early schedule and test this team rather than breeze through a bunch of cupcakes with 30+ point wins.  I wouldn't go so far as to wish we suffer a loss or two, but I hope we get challenged and have to dig deep to pull out victories.

Yes, how much can you conclude from this?  How much did the team learn about playing against top teams?  There's nothing wrong with scheduling an extreme mismatch I suppose to get everyone excited about the season.
