These guys act as though the games have been played. Like some CBers every year.
Now we have this new fabrication that Fischer is the new X factor. If true, like the last 3 years' live and die by X factor, the season will end in disappointment!
If Fischer is the X factor: Bench him! You can't have a great season if winning a game is dependent on the consistent effectiveness of an inconsistent gunner. You can have a .500 team that way, winning some losing some.
Stop recruiting guys like that if you want to have a team that seldom stumbles. Recruit a guy like that if you are in rebuilding mode and need a guy who can get you through the season with a few wins.
The Zags will stumble. Let it be against the Cougs! Not sure i would want BYU in the NCAAs if they don't beat the Zags 1 of 3 games this year.
