     I don't know it is necessarily a bad thing to sound like me.  :-)  I haven't commented on the spring game because I wasn't there and haven't seen any highlights or game film at all.  However, from what I have been able to determine there is a tremendous infatuation, both from the coaches and the fans, about the QB position.  I am thrilled to death we have such a bevy of QBs.  But do we have anything to go with them?  John Elway in his prime couldn't do it by himself.  I think 3-4 home losses are entirely possible this year.  I also think if things go right there might only be one home loss as well.  We almost certainly are going to lose to Oklahoma for one home loss.  Pittsburgh, Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Kansas State are games that easily could go either way.  Other than QB I am not sure we have improved ourselves that much.  We may need to give these new recruits a year or two to get seasoned.
