He has not really been effusive with praise for the team in the past few seasons outside of a few compliments for specific players or units on specific days. I get the sense in watching him this year that he feels the Cougs are about to take a step. He has not really stated that, but I don't recall him being quite as up beat after the first few practices any other season. Maybe I am looking too deep for positives, but he has seemed to have a bit different vibe to him. What do you folks think?
