[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 182070, member: 639"] The year starts and we each have in our minds what the coming season's record should be going in. There is tons of discussion and possible pre-season rankings bantered about. We play a couple games and then everybody scrambles and readjusts what their NEW projections are for a season record and bowl outlook etc etc. Beyond that, we have to forecast the next several seasons and predict the long term future of our coach and viability of his system, recruiting, and employment status. Seasons are played one game at a time. What is going through my mind right now is what we have to correct in order to beat UNC. Personally, I don't see the benefit in looking beyond that. Season record? I just want our record this week to be 1-0. I feel no pressure to re-adjust my season-long expectations. I feel no pressure to anticipate the possible bowl scenario this weekend. I am not disappointed because I thought we might be 11-1 heading into the ACCG. I am disappointed because we were 0-1 last week. Is this really how we derive enjoyment from a season? Establish a set of expectations ahead of time, in terms of won lost records, and then obsess over how we are measuring up along the way? The nature of football is that there is one winner and one loser every contest. The excitement surrounds the drama that unfolds every individual week. That is why we go watch, isn't it? Let's go cheer the Jackets on tomorrow, for its own merits, because tomorrow's game matters for that day, and that day alone. Hopefully, we will be lucky enough to win making next Saturday's drama a little more meaningful in the process. Lather, rinse, repeat. [/QUOTE]
