And as for uniforms, now that Media Days are here, there really isn't any reason to worry about logos, helmets, jerseys, etc... They were a nice thought, the pages from the athletic department were an excellent find (jackatshelter?), and the suggestions were creative and sufficed in passing the time. But nothing is going to change between now and next summer, so for me, it's a dead issue. Sure, I'd love to see something different on our helmets. But now, all that matters is how we look in the standings. Before we know it, the season will be upon us. We've got less than forty days. The discussion topics need to shift to questions and answers about this year's team. Not logos. Not helmets. Not pants. And certainly not incorporating black into the color scheme, although it could be a cool one time deal.

Slickdawg, keep the videos coming. From whatever year, in whatever uniforms, just keep em coming. Let's get the juices going. I realize I'm optimistic as hell, but we've got a chance to be better than we were last year. And you can call me a sheep, an ass, or an idiot all you want, but we can win 9 games...in the regular season. Look around at the other teams in this league and you'll see that we're close. We're not Florida, Georgia, or LSU, but we're relevant.

I know some people are afraid of that optimism. Perhaps I am too. And it's completely understandable. It's a feeling we as a fan base haven't had in a while. Like a new girl after years of heartache, some of us are just hoping that this year's football team isn't a lying, cheating whore... That last year wasn't a fluke. But ya know what? Maybe she's the real thing. It's certainly possible.

Perhaps I'm a little off, and I may have gone off the deep end a long time ago, but you get my drift. It's been a long god damn time since I was this excited about a football season.
