Doesn’t take much to make me happy.

I cannot understate how giddy I was to see I posted on the ACC Week 5 or whatever it was thread. Legit forgot I made that post.

I think we lose this weekend (let down) and to Duke. Win the rest. 9 wins.

If you told me we’d come out of FSU and Louisville 1-1, I would’ve signed up for that in a heartbeat.

Louisville is certainly beatable, and UVA will be the best team they’ve played this season. Louisville has looked shaky in most of their games so far. IDK … this is a tossup for me. I think being at home might be enough to propel Louisville to the win, but if UVA is the more talented team, I could see us winning close.

Think we lose this week. On the road, against a good team, but I definitely would have taken 1-1 against FSU and @Loserville given the chance before the season.

If I’m being honest 1-1 is what I wanted going into last Friday. But now I’m greedy I’m ready to go Jameis Winston on these games.

Note: after 5 games last season, we were also 4-1 with an OOC loss to a longtime old rival (Maryland vs NC State), a win over an in-state FCS team that Mike London coaches or used to coach and a win over Coastal Carolina.

We beat a team led by Tommy Castellanos to get to 4-1 and our next opponent was Louisville in a 3:30 game.

That’s about all the similarities I’ve got. Finding 2 wins in the last 7 last year basically meant somehow winning 2/3 of UL, UNC and @Pitt, which we obviously didn’t do. No way we had a chance in any of @Clemson, @ND, SMU or @VT.

To a gambler, I think the line looks to high. Louisville is probably the bet. I think it’s artificially high because of our exposure on Friday. John Q Public bettor will be jumping on our band wagon. We should be 3 or 4 point dogs.

Exactly why I jumped all over the 7 when it came out yesterday. I firmly believe we will see it hammer down by mid-week.

Crazy how much different I feel about this team compared to last years. Have full trust in Chandler Morris; didn’t have any trust in AC. Have full trust in our OL; felt last year’s OL was a house of cards. Have full trust in our RB’s; felt we were missing a workhorse back last year and was terrified about lack of depth.

Defensive concerns are similar but I think this year’s DL is better and we are deeper across the board. We are a good football team, and I’m very excited to see how we play next weekend. Do we see a letdown? I don’t think we do.

When you can run the ball against anybody, it changes so much. Will keep us in every game on our schedule even if CM has an off day.

Yeah, can we get a Taylor-grade RB every season? Like 3-4 times a game, he does something I haven’t seen a UVA RB do in a loooong time. Even when the OL isn’t able to get him a good hole, he’ll occasionally run into the back of the pile, bounce off some guys, and magically re-appear on the other side somehow still going, which makes me giggle like a little kid at the joy of it.

What running back have we had in recent memory that would’ve gotten the 1st down at the 40 second mark. It’s just one example - there are so many plays like this:

That TD run is also a great example. He just squirted out of there

Thomas Jones is the goat. I meant in recent memory and as much as it pains me to say, the 90’s ain’t recent lol

Haha I’ll give you that.

Taylor is a throw back to when Lundi, and Pearman were roaming the backfield. But I think he’s more explosive than they were.
