    I agree. If joe had stayed we would've been lucky to win 4 games.

    I'm just glad we fired him and don't have to endure as big of a rebuild for once. It's nice to see us fire appropriately.

    Agreed. I was not looking forward to watching us bottom out and then have to start all over. I'm getting to old for that!

I'm hoping for 6-6 and a bowl and anything else will make me ecstatic.
    I could see us being better than that. We were so out of shape and undisciplined and unprepared winning six games last year says a lot to me about the absolute raw talent that we had just to make it to a bowl based on that alone basically.

    There is talent but I also believe that those small intangible things make the difference between what we saw last year and a potentially special season. I think a disciplined well coached MSU with above average S&C wins at least 8 last year- probably K-State and Tennessee.

    Too many unknowns for me. I'll stick with the 6-10 range for now which is wide but with new coaching, new S&C, new scheme and so many grad and JUCO transfers there's no telling what will happen.

    I was too old for last season. I don't understand how a head football coach could think that product was acceptable in any way shape or form. Apparently Fordham policed themselves.

    I'll bet we have record breaking attendance at the Spring game. I can't wait.
