The past two years have given me hope that this team rises above our fears and they're true champions who've earned it. They've put in the work and they remember what it was like to be at the bottom of the conference. With that in mind they're going to smash some mouths out there.

17 years as a Bulls fan taught me to never believe in the Bulls over the course of a season. Of course, my belief in any football team has been corrupted by my 25+ years as a Dolphins fan. Obviou

Been watching this since football was approved.  Seen hope and potential wasted and quashed.  Seen a lot of good and some bad. Hoping more to restore our long term possibilities.  We knew back in the

I've been a cautiously optimistic type for years now, but this year, I'm putting it all out on a limb.  I believe in this team, because we have a QB who is a winner.  I absolutely expect huge things f

Mindset is key.   See if CCS can have them handle adversity.     I am keeping my expectations at 8 wins and anything above that is a bonus.

Ok, I will bump it up to 9 wins.   ;)      I find when I get overly excited something happens to deflate me.

First off let me start by saying its awesome to see some of our bull faithful back on the forum again :04-rock:

Regarding FB, there is so much parity even with our weaker schedule, going undefeated for an entire season will be a major accomplishment. Taking at least 1L somewhere along the road this season is realistic in my opinion. I hope of course we go undefeated but man there are a lot of variables with a completely new staff and system. I do think that the talent level is high and the system last year could be improved on both sides of the ball. Here's to a great season my fellow Bulls :guinness:

This confirms my suspicion that Strong brings inherent clout still in the eyes of others outside of the program. Nice read...

Good, short read.  Pressure may be on this team to run the table, given the expectations.  And our foes will be up for us more than ever, trying to knock us out.

Hard not to get caught up in the hype, but I think I'm just gonna try to focus on enjoying each game at a time. If sitting through that 2-10 and 4-8 season taught me anything it's to appreciate a good team....then again an undefeated season would be a nice touch for the program. Coming full circle over the course of 4 years.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
