The funny thing is how bad this board would be if we had beaten Maryland, Wisconsin, or ECU and lost to UConn, WCU, or SMU.

Not unless we beat Memphis too. Even then, can you really call it "successful" based on what we witnessed this season?

The Kniggits lost to UConn. A win over Memphis would be much bigger if we are looking at measuring progress

I'm just tired of our wins feeling like we tripped and fell onto a W, and that's against teams we should be beating.

IMO there's a difference between success and improvement.  Continual improvement will lead to sustained success.  There should be levels of success; 1.  Go to a bowl game, 2.  Win a bowl game, 3.  Win the conference, 4.  Get into the playoffs, 5.  Win the National Championship

Would you rather we lose those?

I also think we would feel a little better if we could have won those at home.  At least we'd have something to cheer about in the 4th quarter!

I think you're finally getting it .....

 

And it's still mind boggling that Ga thinks the The Big Lebowski is better than that movie ...

 

 

Thinks?  

 

Who said anything about thinks? 

 

I don't think, I know ...

I think your levels of success (while valid and should certainly be our goals) are lofty for the current state of this program and youth of this team.

 

If we can turn 1 or 2 of those "close but well played losses" this year into wins next year, that will be a marked improvement and provide us with success. 

 

in that case instead of being 4-6, we are maybe 5-5 or at best 6-4 at this point in the season. Which I guess would make us bowl eligible (or close to it) and cover number 1 on your list...hmmpf...maybe those levels aren't so lofty after all

 

 

except for the last one...I don' think that's happening until we are able to get into a better conference. lol

Most likely true, but hopefully it is a goal of the team
