re: Outside of a few folks I am not seeing the melt we are being accused of

I wasn’t ok until I realized today that we really overachieved these past 2 seasons. I never got the feeling last year or this year that the national title was ours for the taking.

That feeling is reserved for next year and forward. Recruiting foundation and depth will be on a level it’s never been it. I will have very high expectations and will be very critical of our coaching staff from here on out.

A melt now would be nothing like a melt starting next year. I will not accept not winning it all within the next 2 years.

And I’m not so upset about not getting in the playoffs. I’d rather lose close to Bama now, beat Texas and have a solid year over beating Bama in the SEC, and losing to them in the natty. That would be a worse feeling to me. It would be very difficult to beat them twice in a row.
