Best hype video to date. Dope song to go with a Dope mix.

Live at the coast. Feels like 101 today.

And with 120 Kickoff just weeks away, am going to start watching these pump up the volume videos until the pigskin is airborne once again!

GBO!

It doesn't feel like 98 to me. I think we can win it all but things will have to fall in to place, no injuries, full effort every game no matter opponent. And unlike 98, we have a target on our backs. 98 was not expected to be a championship run, Peyton had just left and even though most expected a good year, not a championship. Most thought Peyton was the best chance of achieving that. What happened while he was here, we relied too much on him and not as much of a team effort as it was in 98. I'm hoping and wishing a NC this year, but let's take it one game at a time. GBO

I've heard a few say that "this season feels like 98". While I certainly am hoping for 98' results, I think that the comparison is not accurate.

In 98' the season began with a gigantic double "black hole". The losses of Peyton Manning and Leonard Little. Plus others out to the NFL. The mood was more like "We have lost to UF for 5 straight seasons and we just had our best team ever while they rebuilt at QB ... and still lost. We just got our a$$e$ handed to us in the last game in Miami by the National Champions.

Now, were going to "settle" for an offense run by an unproven dual-threat QB. PM's success had (still does to this day for some, btw) convinced many that the Majors/Fulmer/Cutcliff scheme was based on a pocket passer. This is categorically untrue, but the idea was that we would settle for what we had at QB. Bottom line, UT was going to be good, but down somewhat.

While maybe not considered "rebuilding", from our recent top-5 viewpoint it was to be a "down year". Plus the Gators loomed even better than a year before. Therefore, we were on a "downward trend" to start 98', from the lofty places Fulmer had us for the 3 previous seasons.

But, as Phil used to say, "that's why you play the game". Our defense was improved enough to carry our offense early. Plus, in this year, the breaks finally happened in the right places in order to give us the chance to win.

Syracuse - 4th Down PI penalty / Hall's clutch winner
UF - 4 TOs (one on a sure TD) / Missed FG
Arky - 21pt comeback / Stumble & Fumble
FSU - The Rooster / Pick 6 / Punter pancakes Warrick

So, while 98' became magical from early doubts. I would equate the atmosphere for this season more like the 1997 pre-season where the mindset was "it's now or never".

Hmm not sure how this season feels like '98. In '98 we were coming off a blow out loss to Nebraska. Peyton, Nash, and Little were gone. The team was ranked around 15th in the nation and there was very little if any buzz around the team. The whole season was supposed to be a rebuilding year.

Music sounds so stupid these days. It's a shame these younger people have no substance to their music.

Actually a good video if you mute it. That song if you wana call it a song was horrible.

On the positive, after watching all these hype video's one thing is for certain, JRM is a nightmare on rollerskates! He is all over the field ripping offenses new azzhole's! I love that he came back for another year.

Sounds like the singers were on some dope. Turrible music. I'm pretty sure they weren't even saying real words for most of it.

That "music" is garbage. My 8 year olds make similar noise with their recorders and toy turntables.

Volnation serves as one helluva public record. Appreciate this.
