My impression is that folks are merely excited to be reading about the game they love again.I was hoping that people would stop running around pointing with glee at these fluff pieces by local sports "reporters" and go, "See? Fulmer says our new guys are really athletic this year and that they are learning fast!! Gosh, we are going to be good this year!!"
Same with Florida fans.
The rhetoric is bad enough. People getting exctied by it, for the umpteenth time, is just pathetic.
In fact, in season reporting is no different than what we see now. The responses to questions about wins, losses, or the next opponent vary little. We love the team, and want to hear those nearest the program talk about the thing we love. It is the reason VolNation is the explosive device that it is. It is the reason newspaper circulation expands in football season. It is love of the game. And that is never pathetic.
