The thing about rooting for a Helton-coached team is anything was possible, but I’d usually end up disappointed. Michael Muto: I’ll answer this question in reverse. How do you see the rest of this season playing out, and is this what you expected at the beginning of the season? 500 in the first half and with some decently-tough second half match-ups incoming (ND, ASU, UCLA, BYU).
