Thoughts moving forward...
Well, since Coach likes to label anybody that is tired of watching doormats pass us by as "Little brother", I've decided that those of us that don't accept status quo can have a different mindset going forward.
First of all, I see "little brother" as someone who knows his role and can accept when his program is stagnant or going in reverse. Instead of fighting it or demanding progress, "little brother" shuts up and says "woe is me, we are MSU we shouldn't demand anything more". So sorry coach, but little brother in this case is you that accepts his role. Keep in mind, those of us pissed off, are not pissed off ONLY because Ole miss beat LSU....it is because 4 teams on our level or worse in the sec accomplished something we can't yesterday. And don't give me that horseshit about something we did 3-4 years ago. 3-4 years is a decade in the sEC.
Also, "little brother" would demand less and therefore expect less. Well, I'm tired of low expectations. Mizzou, Tennessee, Vandy, and ole miss, all expected to win yesterday against better teams, so that's what I'm expecting going forward. No more griping about what we haven't done, instead start demanding we improve too.
I am now expecting us to beat One of the following:
South Carolina
A&M
Alabama
And I am demanding we win the following:
Kentucky
Arkansas
Ole miss
Anything below 4 more wins and I want a coaching change. Because we will be stagnant and/or moving downhill.
What some of you don't realize is that sitting still is moving backwards in this conference. Yesterday showed that perennial doormats are improving in this conference, so being ok with 6 wins is no longer going to cut it, unless we want to be dead last in the conference. As of today, we are just above Arkansas and Kentucky. We will have a chance to improve drastically by accomplishing the goals I listed above. Anything less is unacceptable, because everyone is proving that winning in this league is not as hard as we act like it is. And gone are the days of marking LSU, Bama, and A&M a loss. That's a "little brother" mentality. We can compete just like everyone else in this league so it's time we start expecting and demanding it.
This is not a thread to start a debate, just a thread to those others that are tired of the product we are putting on the field. We can have higher expectations. So keep cheering your asses off, and let's not complain anymore about things that happened in the past, and let's hope that the team and coach can accomplish 7 wins. I don't think that is expecting too much, and anybody that does must have a little brother mentality.
