re: How many of you are really bothered by NC or bust mentality?

for me, i think it varies from yr to yr. for instance, last year i was def. expecting us to contend which we did for a while. didn't see us losing the uf game.

2011, expected us to win it. 2010 expected to contend.


2009 and 2013 i will expect 9-10 wins. in certain seasons when you know the odds of you taking the big prize aren't as great you just like to see things such as improvement in areas that have previously held you back.

so next yr, hopefully another 10 win yr, hopefully the progress we've all been waiting for on offense (and we'll be starting a new qb going into 2014 so we better fricking make it count this season), and that our young talent shows out on defense. i'll hope that we win it all but im not going into this summer thinking we are one of the top 3 teams in the country.
