I must admit, I’m a little upset about this Super Bowl. I was rooting hard for the Ravens and 49ers, because, anything would’ve been better than another Giants-Patriots Super Bowl.

Projected in the preseason to continue their dominance from a 22-3 2009-2010 campaign, last year’s squad went 7-14 with fewer FCIAC State award recipients. However, there were some signs of hope last year, as a strong underclass combined with a surprise FCIAC bid has set them up for some high expectations for the upcoming year.
