[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 882314, member: 959"] I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot recently. I wonder if anyone else is considering the effect of absolutism in this discussion. I’ve always considered myself a realist with optimistic tendencies. I’ve seen the topic of lowered expectations bandied about here for the last few seasons. I’m not sure I fully understand what our expectations should be in relation to our current funding and roster/coaching staff (which is a DIRECT result of said funding). As such, when faced with questions of fandom, I have always understood my eternal hope and optimism inside the context of the circumstances. I can root for my team (which is financially and athletically disadvantaged) while simultaneously celebrating the “adjusted expectation of success” we make AND campaigning for improved circumstances to drive the “adjusted expectation of success” higher. Sometimes I think that nuance gets lost via the quick hit, asynchronous communication common on message boards. I can be dissatisfied with our current limitations while still acknowledging and even feeling happiness about our level of competitiveness in relation to our competition. While CGC is the captain of the ship, he can’t conjure up more money to pay better staff or drop NIL bags to sway the 5 stars we all covet. I want more success for the program, and have not been satisfied with results on the field. I also acknowledge we aren’t playing the same hands as Clemson, Bama, uGa or other top flight programs. I don’t know that I have many answers but thought it worth posting to advance the conversation here on where we are, and what we can reasonably expect. That said, I’m still hopeful the changes on staff are positive and we see things click into place to get us back to winning seasons and even a bowl game again. Sure would be sweet to celebrate with you all as opposed to dissecting our losses. [/QUOTE]
