Nor should you, with regards to their record, IMHO. You should get your hopes up, however, regarding recruiting, better play, smarter play, more effort, not losing games in 4th qtr due to poor coaching/lack of leadership/poor conditioning.
This year COULD be a 7 win season and bowl game. But this roster is very low on overall talent, depth, playmakers and team speed. Get your hopes up that this year is the beginning of our move back to championship football.... cause it is.
Plus, fall recruits coming in like Jenkins, Carr and North.... summer with the staff. Like where things are headed but guys like Hubbs, Coach Matthews, Feldman, Ainge lead me to believe Dooley left the cupboard more bare than most of us realize.
