Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 4788936, member: 2458"] A lot of it back then seemed to be based on the prior season. 2001 team wasn’t supposed to be good. Home schedule was also terrible except for the Auburn game, which happened right after 9/11 which probably affected the crowd. 1999 and 2000 seasons were very disappointing. Missed a bowl in 2000, got absolutely hammered a few times (VT in 99, Miami shutout at home in 00). So 2001 - weak home schedule with no VT or Miami, and coming off 2 bad years and not expected to be good. [/QUOTE]
