[QUOTE="redmule, post: 37836, member: 1338"] Last year this time, we were confident at qb, and worried about receivers. Receivers stepped up, qb stepped down. Last year this time, we were worried about DT. Gotsis stepped it up. Last year this time, we were worried about losing Big ol' Orwin at A-back. Little bitty Godhigh stepped up and was better than Smith IMHO. Last year this time, our FG kicker was still in high school. We were high on ILB, and again IMHO, Hunt-Days and Nealy stepped back while Harrell stepped up and Davis came out of nowhere. We were feeling good about DB, then Golden, Johnson, and Holton were unavailable and Young disappointed. White really started to come on at the end of the season; Noble and Milton were thrown in the fire, and came out a little scorched, but improved as the year played out. We and CPJ thought OL would be the strength of the team. Injury bug fixed that. But Braun, Roberts, and O'Reilly showed flashes, and I'm thinking that now when we least expect it, we might get the OL we thought we had last year. And that's why I love college football, especially Tech football. It's the variability and the unexpectedness. Worries become strengths and strengths become worries. Just think, injuries wiped out our OL and DB last year, our QB was more concerned with staying healthy than executing, we began the year with essentially no WRs, and we had new coaches and alignments on D. Yet, we won 7, took uga to double overtime, stomped the Division champion on the road, survived an outrageous schedule alignment, and were a Thursday night brain fart away from being Coastal winners. (Can you tell I'm a half full type?) You never know what Tech is going to do. In September 1989 we were the worst team in the conference with not much hope of things getting better. I dreaded another football season, but dutifully showed up each week and just tried to enjoy the tailgate. The next 16 months were marvelous and made even more special by their unexpectedness. The skid down to '93 and '94 hurt even worse because of the unexpectedness. Auburn seems to be on that same roller coaster the last few years. Hell of a ride, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
