I said it earlier in this thread, but AU no more snuck up on anyone than Alabama did in 2008. Everyone knew both teams were legitimate by November. The way I see it, the phrase references a 3-9 to 12-2 turnaround more than anything. For thee outsider, that is "sneaking up".

It would be like Arkansas going to the national championship this year. Would that surprise you? It's really not that difficult to follow what they're saying....however, Gus will finally give Aubie some consistency so that won't be the case in the future.

I think the OP was talking about the ESPN Talking Heads saying AU will not sneak up on teams like they did last year. Again, the only real team that can make that claim would be A&M. Up until that point, AU did not use the HUNH to the level they played the rest of the year.
