Within 2-3 years, it's likely that most or all of Dunn, Kearns, LaRue, and Jimmeniz will have to be unloaded due to salary. When that happens, say goodbye to our offense, because there's nothing in the pipeline to replace them.

So by doing practically nothing all year, DanO left the parking break off, and the little Red machine rolled a little closer to the cliff.

Go figure.
Bowden conspicuously tried.

That's the difference.
