I see people fighting about this all the time here so where do you stand? Do you let yourself get excited about what could be or do you take it one game at at time and try to hold back the excitement? I say have fun with it, dream big and enjoy the ride and let the coaches and players take it one game at a time!

I see a lot of "to the moon" fans who'll become "we'll lose the rest of our games" if we drop 1
Yeah, a lot of people live at the extremes. I probably get over-joyed vs overly-depressed. Losses really hurt, but one (or even 2) losses don’t cause me to think the sky is falling. I don’t give up hope until the math says the goal (this year Atlanta) is impossible.
 
I’m not only guilty of looking ahead to potential outcomes later in the season, but even next year. But it does NOT take away the enjoyment of the moment for me either. I can do both! How talented am I, right?
 
One game at a time. I’m excited each and ever game but I don’t ever let myself get too invested anymore just because I get so bummed out if it doesn’t happen.

Last Saturday’s win was important. If we didn’t win that, while the season wouldn’t be over, winning the East (which is the goal) would be a loooot harder to gain.
 
I'm a one game at a timer, I suppose, but looking at the schedule, it's hard not to look ahead to Oct. 1st. Going to try to relax and enjoy the next two games.

I consider myself a pretty level-headed fan. I don't get too high or too low at points during the season.

But right now, I'm 100% a dreamer. One of our biggest bumps in our quest for the East was Florida. Going into the season, I felt we had to sweep our home schedule (doable), take care of business at Mizzou (doable) and then take 2 out of 3 against UF, UT and Ole Miss on the road (the part I felt least confident about). Well, now that number is take 1 our of 2 with Ole Miss and UT. We do that and we are hosting UGA in Lexington with College Gameday on campus for a shot at playing in Atlanta.

Win in 3 weeks in Oxford and that dreamer mentality is through the roof.
 
I spend all summer daydreaming through the entire season - I can never force myself to daydream about a hard-fought loss!
