Well anyone can beat the lower echelon teams, but thats not what makes you
an improved team, a playoff team, or a 40-50 win team. In order to compete
in the league we have to be able to pull out a few victories over +.500
teams. We can't be satisfied with beating the less talented teams.  That is
why Friday will be a test to see where we really are and how we can compete
with these higher end teams through a full season. If we only lose by a few
I can see where that is still somewhat of a victory, but lets hope for a W.
We can definately compete with anyone.
