One big difference....

Huge expectations, Huge letdown...

2001 was overhyped by the AZ Western and other unproven JUCO Gus we brought in. They mostly all flopped.

This year is actually worse because the SAME TEAM could have won double-digit games last season. Hardly anyone is unproven, except the punter (who sucks) and a couple others.

Who knows if common sense will prevail, and the offense improves. I was optimistic throughout 2001, thinking it was just a hiccup... and we were pretty jinxed that season (think Auburn and BYU games that were literally stolen from us). But, I won’t make that mistake again.... it’s looking as bad as advertised, and all in a very short amount of time.

Yep. Right down to SR QB gets suspended for the opener. That was a really bad omen.
