OK to be more particular. Start winning the games that make people notice.

What does 7 wins get you? A trip to the liberty bowl?

9 games is getting there but dink and dunk was about as boring of football to watch as there is. Plus we all knew we still weren't competing with elite teams when we faced them. Like, not even close for the most part.

At Mullen's peak here at MSU fans were invested. Since Mullen the football program has been very predictable.

Hell just beat a top 10 opponent. When was the last time we did that? It very well could be more recent than I realize but I certainly don't remember who it was.

ETA: Using the 9 win season is sort of pointless. Leach passed so the entire program including fanbase got gutted and we got saddled with Arnett. Talk about killing momentum and the possibility at a atmosphere rebuild.
