Message: [QUOTE="Fat tire 13, post: 3080245, member: 6171"] Agreed - back in the 1980s/1990s, you didn't have Internet chat rooms. Just local newspaper coverage and a handful of magazine preseason rankings. From what I remember, the expectations for the good 1990s teams (D-Nabb's senior year, some of the Marvin Graves teams) were higher. The Tennessee loss was especially heartbreaking because it seemed like we missed a real chance to contend for the title... For this year, I do agree people might be "over their skis". But with this schedule, a couple lucky breaks gets us to a very formidable win total. No harm being over excited until something goes wrong. It feels good to think grandiose thoughts... and the preseason ranking feels very fair [/QUOTE]
