    The only thing is that Ray came in with very little experience. He could get better. Maybe not, but getting anything better than 8 SEC wins would exceed my expectations. It's almost a total mess, but then you have the FSU game. Maybe we can build on that. We're at least a season away from lurching into a new coach, so I don't see how we look much beyond Ray now. Right now it might be like it was with Croom after those first terrible seasons. Even a good season and a bowl win the next season didn't assuage the fans' skepticism. So one bad loss at the start of the next season and it was all but over. We got lucky getting Mullen after that. Don't know we'll get lucky twice with the same scenario. That's why I said before editing that we're stupid if we don't support the program after winning 8 in the SEC. That would be well beyond my expectations, and I'd want to have hope that the improvment would continue.

    Nothing else. Wins and losses will happen.

    What he does in this offseason will dictate his job security.

    We are missing a shooter. I mean a shooter of the caliber of daryl wilson, jeff malone something like that.

    I am going to be in the minority here but chicken is trying too hard to score. He needs board crashers to help if hea going to go in the paint that hard and roc tries. Daniels is special, but this team needs a player to "kick" out to after dribble penetration. They juat dont have it.

    We are also missing the michael gholar/ frazier type player that played to deny the other team rebounds. Thos guys knew their roles.
    I'm done trying to fix this team. Give it up. No doubt we will have an injury or three very shortly. Besides Dunlap missing in action we had a full squad for the first time all season. That's why we won. That and good defense finally. But this is when hope creeps in and we suddenly lose every PG we have or some shit. Till Ray can KEEP a full roster active we are up shit's creek. Btw wasn't there a brief rumor about Dunlap dipping into the girlfriend's ink zone? Now his playing time suddenly evaporates. Look for him to transfer. I like this stance by Ray if I'm reading it right. He layed down the law and the team responded.

    If no changes are made for next year, the girls games may outdraw the guys. I've been to games in the hubcap where the MSU fans were louder than the bowtie boys. Those tables will flip this year.
    The Plantation has never won an SEC regular season Championship in ANY men's sport with an integrated team. That defines irrelevance.
