great and in the hunt for a national championship at the end of the year.
I want to be positive going into next season, and I want to start being positive now.

We have a defense loaded with talented veteran guys despite losing Nevis, PP7, and Sheppard. We have are stacked at WRs and RBs. We have 3 legit QBs battling for the starting job with a new OC that could lignite a fire for the offense. Special Teams will be great as usual. This is a team that has all the components needed to win a NC.

This.
At practice today you could see the difference in Jordan and the instant feedback from Krags. It was odd, but Jordan seemed to finally be speaking the same language as the rest of them. He was quick in the drills, deliberate and pretty accurate. From the short time we were out there you could see that he was listening to Krags, working on what he said and putting it into action. It was shockingly refreshing.

Hey baybeefeetz!
Over the last three years I have made known my displeasure of Crowton. This past year, even with what I considered a weak offense that wasn't coached very well, we finished 11-2. With a new OC who will hopefully focus on the fundamentals and bring the offense up to speed, I am confident. Of course, the SEC is tough and there are no gimme games with our schedule. I sense that this will be a special year much like I did with 2003.

Reasons to think this is our year:
1) OOC schedule. Oregon and WVU are resume builders; Oregon has started slow a few years and game 1 is ideal to get them. WVU on the road = "premier win" if we get it, even if they are not ranked (major college team).
2) SEC schedule. Fla, Arky, Auburn at home. Bama on road with a new QB.
3) Experienced defense- especially considering Peterson had cramped up in crunch time a few times; this means our secondary will all have been on the field in tight situations already.
4) potentially potent offense- don't laugh. Ware and Ford had some quality PT last year. Ware made some outstanding plays before the bowl, too- go review the Vandy game and see his catch on the semi-deep pass up the left sidelines. Guy catches like a good tight end, not a tailback. Ford showed some serious breakaway moves at times. Randle showed he could be all-SEC despite JJ's struggles, and Shep, despite all the inconsistencies, made a number of big plays. Even QB- Mett is supposed to be good, and JJ and Lee both showed they are gritty and determined, if not great statistically. JJ will fight more than most people give him credit, and Lee came off the bench like a baseball closer a few times.
5) This year. This team knows they were not pretty, and yet went 11-2. Even with no changes to schemes, they would have to think they could at least equal last year's offensive performance and stay in games; and they've learned how to win games they stay in.
6) SEC mojo with polls- the SEC champ should be in the hunt for the BCS until further notice, regardless of what else may occur. No worrying about things you can't control; win the SEC and you're in
7) Les wins bowls. Big time. His lone loss at LSU was in a marsh against a slugger-team; on fast tracks he has his team at peak performance.
8) NOLA BCS game- LSU could beat a potentially better team in the Dome. In this case, the home field does matter.
That's my arguments on why we can win. And fwiw, I can see us losing a game and still making it (maybe Bama on the road).

I think we'll be in the hunt, along with Bama and Arky, to win the SEC West in 2011. That's enough for me at this point: one step at a time, starting with a trip to Atlanta.

Oregon game is a must-win, despite what people are saying. We will not get thru the SEC undefeated (when was the last time we did that- '58?).
Lose to Oregon and thats at least 2 losses- only one other team played in the BCS with 2 losses.
And yes, that was LSU. But the odds of it happening again are astronomical.
Beat Oregon and beat WVU, and I like our chances. A lot.

Mett will hopefully be the QB. If not, I don't think we are in the hunt.

LSU will be monstrous, deep, and fast on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

National Championships are rare for any one team so it's not really a positive thing to go into a season looking for your team to win one. You're setting yourself up for bigger letdowns. Being positive about your team would be remaining open to all possibilities and standing behind your team no matter what. Just sayin
