I think rather most people are focusing on one half of the premise in the OP.
Besides the locker room fodder and the setting of ridiculously high expectations,
There is nothing wrong and everything right with what Taylor said in this regard. These should be the expectations every year. And there is no locker room fodder to be found here.
I want to know - what else can possibly fall in place, AFTER you win the natl title? That doesn't even make sense.
And here's the part where you would have to be really grasping for things over which to criticize Taylor.

I should totally have left out the 2nd part. When we put up 76 on Chatanoogie this weekend, I'm sure I"ll be drinking the kool-aid right there with you.
Still, I think you can point out that your starting QB said a dumb thing, which is really all I was saying, and I meant it mostly tongue-in-cheek, without being declared an Enemy of the Husker State. Sheesh. Some of you people seriously need to lighten up.
No worries man, not bagging on you. I am the biggest Taylor hater around. :cheers For months on end, every single day I come on here to tear down Taylor's character in every way I can think of, and in the most vicious manner conceivable. Just ask bshirt.

Ahen I've run out of ideas, I go to kchusker and we brainstorm new ways to bash on TMag.
I just don't really get that this a dumb thing to say. He doesn't put it perfectly, but I think we all know what he means. Even the most well spoken people don't always put things perfectly during interviews. Not to worry though, like I said earlier, Taylor has had his share of dumb things said, so I can see where you are coming from. But this one, I don't really see.
