[QUOTE="TampaBuzz, post: 961703, member: 1117"] I have been reading this thread and want to offer a comment. I think we can all agree that we had no expectation to beat Louisville or Ole Miss. Wasn't the general expectation that we would actually look like a football team and not a clown show? I don't get all the gloom and doom; we knew the defense was gonna regress this year; we hoped the offense would improve, and we hoped special teams would be better. What I see is an offense that is greatly improved in all phases. The defense has regressed (arguably more than expected) and I hope they figure it out quickly - because we need someone to step up and be a disrupter. Special teams are (also arguably) slightly better - no blocked punts this year, and kick coverage is better. Still need to improve on the field goal kicking (it was just as bad last year after 3 games), but I think it will get better. Watching the Ole Miss game was a painful emotional roller coaster. Going into the game and at the end of the 1st quarter, I was resigned to a big loss with little emotional engagement and could only laugh at the chain gang shenanigans. At half, the team had me feeling vaguely hopeful (dangerous with GT football) since we were only down 7. Early in the 3rd I again resigned myself to a big loss. Then late 3rd and early 4th, I was actually getting really excited and almost(?) confident that we were gonna figure out a way to pull the upset. Then the wheels fell off. So, we ended with the pre-game expected kind of result; but the team fought and that is what I want to see (along with wins against lesser competition) right now. The wins against high level competition will come. As stupid as it sounds....I want a reason to sit on the edge of my seat, pace the floor, and yell at the TV again when we are playing. The last few years it has been turn on the TV, get beer, lie down on the sofa and submit to three hours of numbness expecting disaster on every play. [/QUOTE]
