I can dream can’t I? Actually we have as much of a chance this year as ever. Several coaching changes around the league, although we don’t play all of them. Good size recruits last couple classes coming in/together. Maybe I’m eternally optimistic, but isn’t these guys due to string together a good run. It’s early, think positive!

If we go 7-6 before losing the bowl game, does that mean we play in the MAC championship game?

That’s 6 Mac wins cuz we’re only winning one non conf game. If that’s enough to win the west, yeah, we’d be in the MACC. (No chance).

Dream BIG or go home!!!!
Actually I went through the schedule did a thumbs up/thumbs down. By MAC play I figured 2-2. After that winning Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, Kent State & Miami. Hoping to win one from NIU, Toledo or Western Michigan. Believe the boys will have strong finish towards end of the season.

I’ll be at NC State game. Not a suite like Calhoun, but got a Wolfpack ticky source.

I guess dreams don’t have to be realistic. But I’d sure love for them to come true. We’d have to suddenly start beating teams we just have not been able to beat. The defense will have to be SIGNIFICANTLY improved to have any chance of pulling that off.

Its probably a 10 minute walk I should add thats not just an invite for Tarheel. I can get any of us free parking and a spot to have some beers. If anyone is taking an RV I can get free electric hook ups etc

Its ok to dream but what makes you think we are beating eastern or Miami and whats the other non con win We beat Western last year. I'm not saying I would expect it, but why couldn't we beat those teams? They are average MAC teams.

Lane Kiffin is coming to Muncie. That should be interesting. When BSU scheduled that game they probably thought it would be a very winnable game. FAU has improved significantly since we beat them a few years ago.

They are average MAC teams. you said it yourself they have proven to be average Mac teams while we have proven ourselves to be a bad Mac team. Western may be coming back but eastern is trending up. Miami has out recruited us and has just been better than us. Unless we drastically improve I cant predict us to beat any of the three

Both teams have been around .500 the past few years. Obviously better than us, but I don't follow them closely enough to know if they should be improved.

I hear what your saying and no they are not great teams but I look at this way if any of them just progress a little that makes our improvement have to even more since we were already behind them. Its not like we were the better team and just lost to these guys because of circumstances.. We got passed by almost everyone so its going to take teams taking a step back and us taking a few steps forward to even out or pass them back. Its not impossible but its an uphill battle tight now.. We have to find the best QB option and hope whoever plays well, Wr need to step and the D needs to improve more.. The staff also has to get on the same page and put us in good positions
