this is pretty much where I am right now...

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about football and can't wait to see the games, but I have no expectations of this team.

Maybe Texas A&M fans can help me get more comfortable on how to handle this?

The Dooley era. Only one exciting moment over a 3 year period and there were 13 players on the cot damn field.

2002-2003 Bowl banned, still recovering from Dubose and was for some reason supposed to think a Hawaii game at the end of the year was our "Bowl Game".

And then during the Shula era, I was just happy for a coach who wasn't embarassing us and not getting in trouble with the NCAA.

You need to drink the offseason kool-aid that a natty is coming, then after 1 loss you point out how you aren't out of it yet, then after the 2nd and 3rd losses you start focusing on recruiting (and accuse everybody else of paying players) and trolling the other fanbases. Rinse and repeat. :suds:

2011 - team in shambles, interim head coach with no authority to make badly needed staff changes, 5 starters suspended for half the season or more; disappointed and disgusted by what happened. . .

That's as close as I've come.

Every year is a different year, but the expectation is always the same...win 'em all.

I wouldn't know how to believe any other way.

There is no crime if the expectation isn't met. There can be a crime in how the failed
expectation is dealt with.

Football season is a week away. High School kickoff classics are tonight. What's
not to be happy about

Not really. The Shula/Debose/Franch eras weren't great, but they were still fun as beating Southern Miss was a bigger deal than it ever would be nowadays. I will say that having gone to the infamous Kick 6 Game, and then watching us get our asses kicked by Oklahoma a couple of weeks later, and seeing one of the great Bama QB's of all time go out with 2 losses....it was then that I felt for the first and only time in my life, that I shouldn't take Bama's performances so seriously. That feeling....lasted about 3 months until I saw the new Hype Video for the upcoming year.

Pretty much every year under Saban, Williams, and Smith and the first couple of years under Dantonio.

Outside of 2014, I don't think I've ever really had any apathy going into a season. Even that year, Michigan at least had a solid defense that made them somewhat watchable. The offensive line was just a train wreck. I didn't really have any expectations in 2008-09 or 2011, but I was still excited going into those seasons.

Nah I think LSU will have a good year. What's with the 1908 NC? That's not a real championship.
