Ouch. My ears.

But realistically, they're still recruiting better than us. I doubt we'll just start kicking their "AZZ" all the time unless Saban leaves. Who seriously thinks his replacement will live up to his shoes? I don't. But what I do think we're looking at is both being nationally relevant again, and this being one of THE games everyone wants to watch year in and year out.

The only test of patience for me is the off season. :sad:

We've been patient.
Number of wins isn't as important as clear signs of improvement across the board.
We need to dominate teams that we should dominate--no close calls and never ever let a team like Troy set records against us.
We need to be in the games we lose--i.e. even those powerhouses that are supposed to beat us this year should not be allowed to dominate us.
Week to week we shouldn't have a bunch of questions about who is starting where, especially the skill positions. Even if someone gets injured, or performs poorly, we should have a clear understanding of who would step in.
We should see improvement every week.

Once we are confident at QB.. good things will happen. The parts are coming in to make it take off

Everything in college football cycles. Someone will break the Saban code and recruit well enough to beat him.

I do not know if Saban can change with the times. Fulmer couldn't. Spurrier has completely. His USCe teams are nothing like his UF teams in style or apparent philosophy. He's pretty remarkable in that respect.

Add an expectation of six wins... and I'm right there with you. The next step would seem to be beating teams when you have more talent. UT has more talent than 6 teams on the '14 schedule.

I found this game shocking last year. A lot of fans must understand just how awful the team was last year. And you expect 7 or more regular seasons wins this year? Your an idiot if you see that.

If ur gonna insalt sum1 u shud at least hav tha deesensey to spell currectlee.

Get off our board if you aren't going to contribute anything. It must be really boring to have nothing positive to feel about your own team and have the need to make yourself feel better by trying to bring others down.
