Why is 2010 OUR year?

I continue to see people say this from time to time, and I don't understand where the optimism comes from. Tough schedule + losing a lot of players = BCS?

OP has it confused. This is our year. NCG back to New Orleans. Jefferson a senior.

Every year? Wasn't our year the one before last? I think we have a right to say that every year.

Because Tebow is gone, I guess.

sounds lame but based on the depth chart I have panned out for next year...by 2011 we will have a sick amount of starting seniority on offense.
In 2011...
QB - Jefferson will be a SR.
RB - Ridley will be SR.
WR - Randle will be a JR. (with a year of starting exp.)
TE - Peterson and Joseph will be SR.
OL - 4 SR. (Hardrick, Dworacyzk, Hebert, Blackwell)
On defense we will be a little young in the front 7 but they should have a good amount of experience after next year when many will start.

2011 definitely shakes out nicely.. we lose Peterson though, most likely 
The way we're playing now we'll probably go 10-2, just a little better (11-1) and a win in the SECCG = national championship attempt, so next year is feasible too. Losing Lafell is going to hurt. I can't say losing Ciron Black will hurt much at all really.. he's been average at best this year.
I say we should expect top-5 finishes in 2010-2012, and one national championship.

2011- back home in NOLA

I don't necessarily believe it but there are some reasons people are saying it.
Florida loses Tebow, Top 2 WRs, Brandon Spikes and others.
We will get Bama at home who will lose atleast 7 defensive starters (and possibly Rolando McClain).
We play a UNC team that looks pretty average this year on a neutral field.
Although West Virginia does look pretty good, we get them at home. Plus our playing 2 BCS teams OOC will do alot for national respect (see 2007 VT win)
Plus 1 more year of development of JJ (hopefully), not that much of a loss on defense (hopefully), and an improved overall offense (how could it get worse?)

i think they mean 2011 and/or are just too optimistic

Don't forget Shepard will be a JR and have firmly established himself.

Next year has the potential to be very rough. "11 would be the year to be highly optimistic.

given our pattern this century, THIS is our year. 2010 will be a little down and 2011 will be another up tick.
It depends on what you mean by "our Year" though. If you mean a BCS bowl in an up year vs. a peach/outback/cotton in a down year then the pattern could likey hold true.
In 03 we looked sloppy as hell for the first 6 or 7 games and didn't run all that well but we were clicking at the end. I'm holding out hope that this year will be similar.

Now that Bama is a power, I don't think there is a huge difference between the even and odd schedules for the SEC competition. In fact, I don't really see a difference at all. Each year, LSU will be at home against a top 10 team and on the road against another top 10 team.
I see 2010 being a good season though because Florida will be losing a lot next year and LSU will be playing Bama at home.

Why can't 2009 be our year? We have the talent and we're getting better every game. If we take down alabama there should be no reason why we don't compete for the NC.

I agree Garrett. If we can beat Bama (big if) then the Ole Miss game will be squarely on Alem's shoulders. If he can make Sowell look as bad as the other elite SEC pass rushers have then Snead will struggle and we'll handle Ole Miss no problem.

I agree with this. Not sure how many Juniors we'll lose this year to the draft because of the salary cap next year, but every team will face that. UF should be down and we have had some of the best recruiting in the country the last two years. The schedule is favorable next year as we have two BCS OOC games and Bama and UT at home.
