Older fans like us were raised in the Dooley years. A man who went into every game talking about how good the other team was and how we would have to play our best game to even compete. Even if we were playing a patsy. So we have to re-condition ourselves to allow confidence to be a good trait.
It just doesn't feel right to hear it.
I remember us beating Vandy by 6 TD;s one year and Dooley said the next morning on his TV show that Vandy had the best defense in the conference and maybe the nation....and he wasn't being flippant....he meant it sincerely.
There is cause for us old farts to not like the love and adulation from the press....it is because every time we have experienced it, with the exception of one season, we have seen those talking heads predictions miss the mark by inches and miles.....

Yep...going in to every game we'd have to play our best to have a chance....and after every win we were lucky.
Nobody ever got any bulletin board material from CVD...that's for damn sure....
