This is where I'm at. Sure, all logic points to the team struggling with the challenging schedule, overall young players etc. etc. But, eff logic. Our boys need to believe in themselves and that comes from the fans believing in them. But this fanbase is snake bitten and continues to embrace the suck instead of looking forward to a promising future. When the boys rolled out in the gray unis for South Carolina they had 100K+ fans in the stands and 2-3X that watching at home believing they could win, and they pulled it off.
I'm as logical and reasonable as anyone, and I've developed as many teams and units as anyone on the board. I understand there is no logical argument anyone can make to guarantee a win against Oklahoma, Bama or anyone else. I also understand people have a hard time handling the disappointment they feel after a loss, so they have to argue for why we are going to lose and then rest in the fact they were right. I also think many of our fans are afraid of feeling positive after big win because they believe it probably won't last long. These are coping mechanisms, but unfortunately, they are self fulfilling prophesies.
Just remember, logic doesn't always win or lose games, and a loss will not be the end of your existence. You can handle the disappointment without having permanent damage to your psyche. So, stop embracing the suck and start believing.
Rant over, go ahead and lay out all the reasons why I'm delusional and idiotic and have a nice da
