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.
This is exactly the loser mentality you have a problem with. Set the bar at 9 and chase that, bowls do not matter anymore so go for the playoff. You think any respectable program in the country has to have this conversation every week on a message board.

And I promise no one knows the state script is us. ESPN has not even updated it on our broadcasts. So yea go with the better logo and start winning until people realize it is us. Worked with the banner M.
