Since going 77-0 is probably unlikely, perhaps a good starting point is not losing four games a year, and those losses not be a goring, or a direct result of discipline or mental issues.Just win.

Yes, exactly.That's why I don't think any of us should play that game, it leads to too much disjointed thought. If you look at how close we were to winning more games, you have to take a look at those opponents we lost to and why we lost to them, which acknowledges the fact that we aren't as good as we claim in the original statement ("we were so close"). If you look at how close we were to losing more games, you have to look at our opponents and why we beat them, which acknowledges the fact that we're better than our claim in the original statement ("we're not even close").That's kind of my point. If we're going to play that game, though, you have to look at the other side of the coin.
Playing that game, it's an unfortunately truth we were much, much closer to 4-8 than 12-0.
So, we were 9-4 last season with a bowl win over Georgia. Compared to what other teams did that year, it wasn't the best accomplishment in the land. Compared to what other teams have done over the past 6 seasons, a few 10 win seasons and a few 9 win seasons with 3 bowl wins also isn't the best accomplishment in the land.
This year I'm trying not to get my hopes too high, although I do feel this is possibly the best all around team Bo will have yet to date. Underachieving is our thing though. I'm aware of that.we have lost a game. actually 4, for the past 6 years. i think the point is that what has the coaching staff changed to make us hope that next year will be different other than it just being a new year?Can you save your doom and gloom until we lose a game? This is just getting tiring. Why even bother rooting for the damned team if you aren't willing to at least have some hope.
because i am who i am though, i am pretty hopeful. but i concede it is irrational at this point.
