The coach conceded that the team is still "aquestion of how fast people come together," thatthe team is still "rebuilding" in positions, andthat "more work" needs to be done. That's alltrue. It's also true that no matter how eager theCrimson seems, the team is also anxious over itsweaknesses.

In spite of all that, the coaches and playersare visibly giddy about the cast of charactersthat are coming back. Restic, who's been aroundthe block 21 times, still has a mission:

"An undefeated season first. Undisputed Ivychampions next."

Sure, coach, we know dreams die hard aroundhere. But is this the year? "It's going to beexciting. That doesn't mean we're going to score100 points. But it's going to be exciting."
