I am sorry, but who are we? We have had 4 years of really good football and now the sky is falling? If that is the case so be it, but it is not the case. Did any of you think during your years on the farm you would see us complaining about a team that may be anywhere from 8-4 to 11-1 the next few years.

For me, any year we are above 7-5 I am ellated. Have we, as fans, become this spoiled this quickly? With the recruiting the last few years, Shaw at the helm (say what you will, I think overall he is a heck of a coach), the support of the university (remember when they wanted to drop us down a division), and the returning players we have, I personally see this team as a top 25 team for the next 3-5 years minimum. I just do not see a major drop off any time soon.

Would a NCG, a 4th BCS bowl, a second Rose Bowl in a row make me happy? Heck I would be dancing in the streets, and trust, me no one wants to see a 40yo overweight balding man do that. In all reality, I am just happy to be better than we were 10 years ago. If we stay in the to 25 for the next 4 years it will be an unprecedented streak of success for this team, and aside from some of the best programs in the country, an unmatched feat that many other schools would sell their collective souls for.

Sorry to vent, now lets focus on BEATING the fur of the dirty golden bears.
