Too high, too low or just right?

Given the way last year went it's about right. Do I think the team is better than that? Hell yes I do! Need to get the house in order and win some games. I believe we will be pleasantly surprised.

Man, it's hard to believe how far we have fallen off the radar.  No respect for a once storied program.  I guess going 3-9 and quitting in 3 or 4 games will do that.  I consider anything less than 9-3 in this midget league conference utter failure.  Maybe I should lower my expectations.....

About right.   The same captain that drove the ship into the dock is still at the helm   and the crew mates are about the same.   3-9     4-8 at best....

Anything less than 7-5 to me is not a real turnaround....I suspect Doc will keep his job at 6-6 but should not...I do put a lot of weight on the Miami game...I feel it sets the tone for the entire year.  We are an underdog at home and win that game and could propel us to a solid season....lose and many fans including me are calling for Doc's head.

If this standing holds true and we don't do better than 4th place is this league, then Doc needs to be fired! If Hamrick holds back, he needs to hit the door as well.

I've got to see improvement before I will believe it. Marshall picked behind directional kentucky, directional Tennessee and odu? Are you kidding me? We are talking about a once proud football program. If we aren't respected any more than 4th in the east division with teams like Charlotte and odu start ups. And wku and mtsu sunbelt and 2 directional Florida schools, then wow. I just hope the football program isn't taking the Tom Herroin route.

Considering last year debacle and uncertainty of a fix, projection is reality until we see changes on the field.

IMO Docs fortunes are tied to Legg.  He has doubled down on hitching his wagon to Legg's abilities.  Lots of mediocre football teams on our schedule so we should be able to get to 6 wins.  I agree the first one is a biggie.  I think our D could be much better...not sure about offense and ST

It's so pathetic that WKU and MT have come in and dominated this conference. We have been in it for over a decade and have made 1 football champ game. That is pathetic.  And now you have ODU ranked above us? Horrible.

But if you ask Doc's, and Hamrick apologist's they will tell you, we had (3 10 win seasons!) Doc's one championship in seven years is pathetic sickening!

As Red Peter's once sang....

[goherd24]

Embarrassing. ODU ahead of us. WKU is our new UCF, and MTSU is our ECU.

Awful that we aren't #1 far and away.

[2xBison]

4th rank? give Doc the yank

There has to be a better "way to do it right" than this.

[bighat]

You guys know this is a crystal ball prediction.  You know we have to play the games first to get the real results.

Thanks for that clarification.

bottom line, it shows where Doc has taken this program....he better undo what he has done or hit the bricks

[herd2win]

The cards have been dealt...we now just need to cheer our team on and if Doc doesn't produce he will not be the coach next year...we will know in a few short weeks if he can put us back to winning.

Do you understand E’s words and the result 3-9? That number is a fact. A very very very sad fact.
