What if it's 2008 all over again?

[TexasTider]

Remember how 2007 completely sucked.

Watch this video and tell me the team might not be getting back to same of that "hate the world" ... "choke out the man across the line from you"... and the king of them all "make his a** quit" attitude

I think we'll know a lot more after this week - which is really odd to say about Vandy

There has been a big change in attitude seemingly... My impression was that we had a great buy in by the players all through this year, but needed to realize we still have to play the game. Gutting out a road challenge like Georgia shows that so far we have passed the challenge after a thumping by FSU.

If we come out strong Saturday and run the gauntlet of the middle 4 games... I think we definitely know that we are seeing a 2008 like season.

I am one of those who feels like the cracks in The Process first showed up in 2018 when Clemson drubbed us in the natty game that we just sleep walked through. 2019 was marred by injuries and the supermen made 2020 special, but in 2021 and onward we have had major issues with coaching and attitude and buy in. I am hoping that is changing. I expect it to take 3 years to completely refocus the program with bumps along the way as the new world of NIL and the portal is charted.

If it was 2008, we would have won the opener against the ACC team.

Sorry but this makes no sense. We were undefeated in 2008. This seems much more like 2015 IMO. Our season got reignited with a road win in Athens.

I'll take 2015 and raise you 2020 for next year...

As I’ve said in previous posts, for me it is about the body of work. Yes Saturday night was a big step in the right direction. But let’s not get out “over our skis” in terms of making comparisons to previous teams.
We saw consistently inconsistent performances last year after big wins. The next four games before the off week prior to LSU will tell us a bunch.

I don't need it to be 2008 again, I lost my job that year. LOL!

me too. June 2008- January 2011 sucked job wise

2015 was much better. Got a 12k a year raise. Give me that plus a national championship

Ex lost her job, we lost the house, then we lost the marriage - starting in 2008.

So yeah.

Mine went up about 12K that year, simply because I got a higher certification at work.

It went up even more once the divorce was done.

And, coincidentally, had a thumping of Wisconsin.

FIFY.

Meh, people said the same after Georgia last year.

Let's talk after they thump Vandy--or get Pavia'ed.

I got the pay bump because of a rumor that I was leaving. The partners were desperate to keep me happy. Weird thing was there was no truth to the rumor at all. Flashforward to 4 years later when I literally got up and walk out of a meeting and they were shocked when I handed in my resignation a week later.
