1. 5 wins is my expectations. That shows improvement from last season, but is grounded in the reality that we are behind and will likely be behind for a couple of more years. I think we flip ASU to a win, with a 4-0 start. Adding 1 SEC win with the schedule we have is a tall order - but I think we have opportunities with TN, MO, and OM to steal one IF we have improved.

2. Historically, how can anyone have expectations for MSU football??? Any time I've had them they've been shot to hell.

3. Improve. That may not be reflected in wins, but show us SOMETHING. Give us hope.

4. I'm lucky to get to 1 game a year being 10 hours away. My daughter is still there and just started her PhD and is working for the Univ., as does her husband - so if that doesn't change, that may increase just because I can. I love Starkville and seeing friends I don't get to see often.

5. Catch some breaks and we are 7-5. Start 4-0; TN NIL sitch blows up to get to 5. MO reverts to form for 6. Win the Egg because that's how rivalries work.
