Man, one has to love Phil Steele if your a Herd fan. I mean really the cat is a journalist with a Porn Star name to begin with! Moreover wasn't it Mr. Steele himself who was the first of the prognostication speculation scribes to place Marshall as most improved in his own periodic fish wrapper ? The thing is much like his porn star name screams, Mr Phil Steele NAILED it that year, because indeed we were most improved. Doc's rebuilding had finally kicked in, and Phildo saw it first!
To me this year isn't a mystery either, Doc-eth Holliday has rebuilt retooled and reloaded the Thundering Herd into the mid major power we all used to adore and now are again. Nope my favorite pornstar prognosticator nailed it again folks, I think we are that dang good (IF Birdsong delivers/ and D-line steps up, LOL)
