At this point?


You act as if it's irrational to have concerns about the team given the track record the past 8 and 20+ seasons.



It is certainly not irrational to have concerns.

I have been as disappointed as anyone over the travails of the team during the Kelly years (including witnessing in person the Alabama debacle in 2012.) Am I concerned that it could happen again this year ... absolutely.

But this stuff is supposed to be fun, and 7-0 is fun, and I just don't get why a fan should go out of his or her way to belittle our accomplishments and detract from what the team has done so far.

I refuse to feel guilty about enjoying this season and this team.

7-0

Was fun when we regularly went 10-1 or 11-0 and were confident in that.

I'm not saying 7-0 sucks, and I'm not saying it isn't fun, but I'm just not as invested in a 7-0 start after the last 20 years.


For me, fun is national titles.
Maybe I'm like the guy who jumps off the Empire State Bldg.

As he passes by a 20th floor window someone asks how it's going and he replies so far so good. :)
