    Yes. That's a pretty good season. So close to a great season.

    If we hadn't blown the KY game it would've been one of our top 3 seasons. Next year should be the same or better.

    Yes. And will be content with that. But oh what might have been.

    Yes it is. Especially with an Egg Bowl win and a bowl win. It being Leach's final season makes it memorable. Some of my favorites this season was when we beat up Arkansas and got payback on Memphis. The Egg Bowl was a good one as well- a last minute win on the road in Leach's final game. Then capped it off with a win in Tampa. If we beat Kentucky it's a 10 win season- which would have put it past 2010 and up there with 1980, 1999, and 2014 in terms of raw wins.

    That's why the coordinator hire is very important. If we screw it up it's 2018 again. Hopefully we find someone that at least comes close to fitting our personnel this time instead of going in a completely opposite direction and have to watch square peg in a round hole offense again.

    Overall satisfaction: B+
    Bitching constant quota: A- (Never saw so much fan bitching for a 9 win season, but maybe the coaches read ED so it helped!)
    Offense satisfaction: C+
    Defense satisfaction: B+
    Special Teams: B+

    Ha the bitching quota. Works like this. If we win 7+ games then no one can ever critique anything we do otherwise you are bitching. LAMO for a talk board. Shut it down.

    We do critiques of processes where I've worked for 3+ decades; it is how you challenge the status quo and get better. Some weaklings on here call it bitching. It is called raising the bar.

    We were two lucky plays from going 7-6. There is room to improve.

    But yes we had a good year and will take 9 wins any year we can get it in any form.

    Consider that balancing out the 2 BS unlucky calls that kept us from winning 9 in 2021.

    Yes it was a good season. How soon some on here forget. All the loosing seasons and NO bowl game. 10 wins would of been a great season.

    Good point. Less than 20 years ago, it took us 4 seasons to compile 9 wins (2003-2006).

    Absolutely it was a good season. It would be rare that a win over Mississippi and a bowl win is not a good season

    Beat Kentucky this year? Would have been a great season

    People forget we were up 13-7 on LSU at halftime having left another 10-14 points on the field. They found their stride in the 4th Qtr for 21 points, but we arguably should have won that game as well.

    Most definitely. I?d take 9-4 and winning the Egg over a 10-3 and losing the Egg. And we?ve only had one 10 win season in history.
