It's been in decline the last two/three years, but yes, it is most noticeable this season. I think part of that is the 'Cats really haven't given us much to talk about except of late.
I'll take it though. It's sort of like a defenseman you never really remember. He did his job, didn't screw up, wasn't "visible" on the ice thanks to his solid yet boring style, but still got the job done. This may turn out to be a decent 'Cats team, but we won't really notice it until the season is over and dissect the stats.
And, not saying much sure beats the Hell out of having the trolls around like the two other UP school threads do...
