[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 114119, member: 944"] Extremely well said and an excellent post. I could not agree more, this is my primary worry as well. To be honest, I don't know how any of us outside the program can possibly know about the culture issues within the program. So I am surprised that people are weighing in with opinions on whether this culture will carry over. In 1998, we had a surprisingly good season with Lil' Joe Hamilton at QB, went 9-2 in the regular season, tied for the ACC Championship, beat UGa and then went on to win the Gator Bowl. Everyone thought we would be even better the next year, with Hamilton back for his senior season. Yet in 1999, we limped in with a 8-3 record (although another victory over the Dawgs) with late season losses to Virginia and Wake Forest, and then dropped the Gator Bowl to finish 8-4 and outside the Top 20. Based on returning talent, we should have been MUCH better. Yet we weren't. The only explanation is, I think, this elusive chemistry that you are referring to, Boomer. I think the question about next season is impossible for us to answer. Maybe people on the team could answer it, but only maybe. It is such an intangible. It is my single greatest worry about next year, no doubt. But in a week, everyone will forget this thread, and everyone will be back to talking about returning talent etc. The spirit that carried us to near impossible come from behind wins against UGa, Georgia Southern, and VPI&SU, the camaraderie that carried us to convincing wins over Clemson, Miami, and Virginia....will that be back??
