Listen, Tyrone are going into Sunday's All-Ireland final as huge underdogs. We can't even remember the last time the handicap was set to six points for a Sam Maguire decider, but that still doesn't mean the bookies nail it every time.
And if there's any team out there you can trust not to give a crap about any odds or any handicap, to be going into a final with a cockiness and a confidence, it's going to be Mickey Harte's Tyrone.
This is a manager who has a 100%, three from three record in Sam Maguire deciders. This is a man who's renowned for his ability to pull a masterstroke when the stakes are at their highest.
At the same time, we can't get too carried away with all of that. Simply because it's Jim Gavin's four-in-a-row seeking Dubs Tyrone are up against.
This is a team who haven't really been troubled since this time last year and nearly always look to have another few gears in them when the pressure comes on.
But as we've mentioned above, Mickey Harte will have his team riled up for that, he'll definitely have them prepared. On Thursday night, he named his starting 15 to take to Croke Park for Sunday at 3.30, the starting 15 the Red Hand County believe can go out and beat the Dubs.
The only change from the semi-final win over Monaghan sees Mark Bradley take Lee Brennan's spot.

There had been rumours that AFL star Conor McKenna would be flew home for the final - he will be flying home, but he'll be sitting in the stands and not on the substitutes bench.
Hup the Yellowbellies! Wexford have been promoted to Division 2, following a last-gasp win over Westmeath at Chadwicks Wexford Park. With the clock winding down, Westmeath had possession and a two-point lead over their promotion-chasing rivals. But a missed attempt at a point gave Wexford one last opportunity, and it was Seán Ryan who hammered […]
At least he sees the funny side. Dublin boss Ger Brennan was given a red card during his side’s Division 1 loss to Galway earlier today. The incident in question occurred on the stroke of half-time, when, after Galway had a penalty saved, tempers flared and Brennan was seen fighting with a Galway mentor and […]
Unreal scenes! Dublin have travelled to Galway for their Division 1 clash this afternoon. With the scores at 0-12 to 0-07 for the visitors, tempers frayed after the Tribesmen missed a penalty. It looked to be over and done with between the players but the scrap made its way to the sidelines, and Sky Blues […]
