i want national titles, though...i don't want to be above mediocre. it's just a different level of hope. sue me for being more positive in my hopes 

if you want to say i'm proclaiming the "sky is falling" b/c we aren't winning titles, then so be it. i can live with that

Just as naive as the "sunshine pumpers."

It's hard to win a title. Other teams play to win too. What Bama/USC did is very rare. It's certainly a goal, but not having that type of success isn't a failure. Oregon has 0 titles to show from their incredible stretch. TOSU has 1 title from Tressel and Urban. Bowden and Spurrier only got one title each from a decade + of domination. As we well know, (2007, Bama dropping home games in November on the way to titles) you need a great team and a lot of luck to win it all.

Refusal to acknowledge that is incredibly myopic
