You are also playing in a decent bowl for 8 wins, which is a top 10% year for us historically. But now 7 wins is pointless and we shouldn't even try.

But all we want to do is fight about going back to a silly logo from 30 years ago (that means nothing to anyone nationally) and who will be the starting mid week pitcher next year. Our fans will be the one that kills this program and school.
I think our ceiling is 10 wins. So slightly higher than what we did with Dan, Jackie, etc.

It's a big jump to go from 6-8 wins to 8-10 every year but I think we can realistically do it with better scheduling and better recruiting.
