re: I'll view this season a success at 10-6 even w/out playoffs

Definitely a success. Usually 10-6 gets you in the playoffs, and as said earlier, it got us the #2 seed in '06. It's a shame we let 4 of those games get away from us. But all things considered, with all the injuries we had, and a sub-par defensive scheme and roster, we could have done a lot worse than 10-6.
