I think all of this preseason positivity is just football and human nature colliding. Right now everyone is undefeated, everyone has worked hard during the off season to improve their strength, speed and hone their position skills, everyone has a lot of new talent being infused into the team and in general everyone is working hard to make this the best season possible for the team. Enjoy it! For the wolf is at the door. There will be plenty of opportunity for anger and negativity if we don't do well. Another element of human nature. Each year I have hopes and dreams of having that special season. Of going undefeated, winning the Conference Championship and even the National Championship. You would think after so many years of experience and so few seasons going as well as hoped, that I would be more of a negative type in anticipation of almost certain let down, but yet, here I am looking forward to another season with great optimism. It makes life more enjoyable and as the sands run out of the hour glass, I am thankful my old mind continues to look for the best.
Go Jackets!
