I'm not that picky.
Frankly, while I'd be disappointed if we never win a national championship again in my lifetime in football, I'm just pleased we're relevant again. I can't believe we've had two long strings in my lifetime where Texas was irrelevant, but here we are. I remember all the whining about Bowden finishing in the top 5 at FSU 14 years in a row, but so many people concentrated on how few titles he won. I know OU fans were frustrated that they'd make it to the playoffs and then get blown out over and over again, but I'm envious of their conference championships.
I certainly feel like this team can make the playoffs, reach the semis, and then we'll see what happens. And it's not like I look at this roster and worry that the window is closing. We look set up for success for a while as long as Sarkisian is here and locked in.
I feel like some people could at least be in more of a wait and see mode. I guess folks are, but their emotional chips seem like they're being pushed to the under expectations side of the ledger. But that's their business. I just know I don't share the same sentiment of a lot of our more vocal participants here.
