Fair enough.  It's not fair to you to assume what you're going to say.
I take that back.

In my defense, that does seem to be the 'tone' that we get from a lot
of people.  Before the Troy game, "They're good and we could lose,
look how they played ____________".  After the Troy game, "They suck,
wait till we play someone good".

It's not fair to lump you in that category.  I'm just saying pointing
out what we've heard before.  Many people tell us that we're not that
good, and we've just beaten up on weak teams.  Well, not many teams
have won their 'weak' games as handily as we have.  And over and over
we hear about how we're going to lose one game and then right after we
hear about how bad they are and how unimpressed they are about the
win.

So again, sorry if that's not you, but those people definitely exist.
