[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 245798, member: 2843"] Very well said. I've been a Tech fan all my life. There has not been a single game that I sincerely did not see a path (a logical one) to victory. I remember Ken Swilling's pre-season prediction that our "unranked" Yellow Jackets would go undefeated in 1990. Which means I also remember graduating in mid-December 1990 just 2 weeks before traveling to Orlando to witness the culmination of his prediction. Just how cool was that?!?! Life is/was GOOD! Call me crazy; but I would rather be a fan of a program like Tech where winning is not taken for granted. I never want to go 3-9; but I also don't envy the superpowers of the FBS who never experience the thrill of winning a real "upset"...or putting a really magical/surprising season together. They lose their minds (and interest in the season) after a single loss. Bottom line... I feel exactly like [USER=639]@Boomergump[/USER] here. I can see this team winning every game... but we operate within a pretty thin margin of error series to series which means less than .500 is not out of the question either. I heard someone say the other day that...by definition...being a fan means being irrational. So... we overreact. We are not able to be objective. No surprise, I am in the company of many, many "fans" here in this forum. :nailbiting: THWG!! [/QUOTE]
