Sorry bro, I have somehow mislead you...

Whats different about this year is in fact expectations. Expections are low, last year Brent and myself included was expecting big big things. We were expecting an ACC title minimum. Not so much this year. In fact, alot of experts were predicting the Tigers to be in the thick of things nationally last year. So why not this year? The talent is still there. Most everyone expects the QB situation to be at the very least better than it turned out last year. Why? Because of what happened last year.

I was simply stating what would have to happen. Now, having said that... The two worst question marks you can have is QB and O-line. Both are equally important. For us to have a big year a QB has to step up. We have to have a QB to get a hot hand. In my mind that is a 50 50 shot this year at best and probably a little less if Korn as a Freshman gets the nod. If that happens it could turn into a rebuilding year at QB.

So in what I was saying was not hype in fact, quite the opposite. Very little hype and low expectations. College football however has a tendancy to work just like that. I think most people watching Florida last year even during their games would not have expected a National Title. I expected them to beat Ohio State, but cetainly not the way that they did. Not too many other people (except us) thought they would even win. Exactly, just look at Notre Dame and Miami.

History usually repeats, it only stands to reason that even if not this year, the Tigers will have their season on an unexpected year. It could be this year, but the hype is just not there. Don't buy into it.
