Yeah... so if I say we have a 1% chance of winning the title, which category would that put me in?

It's fine to be realistic, the fact is that what we have become accustomed to over the past ten years has been very unrealistic. As long as you don't take a burn it all down attitude like some here appear to have, I think it's fine. I've never taken our games for granted, even under Saban. We're capable of losing an SEC game at any time, a few turnovers and fluke plays, and there you go. There's no need to be unrelentingly critical of our team, and totally pessimistic, though. Let the coaches and players have a chance to show what they're capable of before condemning them. It's not healthy for the program to be so negative. I have always been a somewhat pessimistic person to some degree, expect the worst, and you're never disappointed. But as I became older, I've realized that it's not very productive to be negative around people. People are seldom affected in a positive way by it, and they are naturally more attracted to, and positively influenced by optimism. I'm far from a sunshine pumper, but sometimes it's best to not dwell on things you have no control over.
