I know you are right, Helen. The fans are expecting another BCS National Championship and are holding their breath until that happens. Nothing will be good enough until then.
Wasn't it more fun when we weren't so good? A. Leon Polhill, Gator Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves. ________________________________ From: Helen Huntley <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, November 9, 2009 12:39:30 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews from Today's Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post courtesy of JunoGator Gator fans want another national championship, expectations having been raised by last year's performance, Tebow and Spikes coming back, the polls, media etc. I don't hear fans complaining so much as worrying that the grand national championship plan will not come to fruition if the offense doesn't start performing better. What I hear on this list is not different from what I hear from other Gator fans. I was not at the Swamp Saturday, but the TV announcers repeatedly commented on the crowd being subdued. Maybe some of you who were there would have some take on that. Maybe we fans are uptight and anxious like the team: we're making them anxious and they're making us anxious. We do need to put it in perspective, of course. Any year the Gators get to go to SEC championship is a great year.
