Oh yes the dreaded 5 win expectations! Oh the humanity! Sorry I don't expect it to be too much to win two conference games in year 2.
Super sad. Sad but true.
Could you imagine falling into a coma around December 1st, 2001 and waking up today to see what has happened over the past 13 years?
Whoa, 13. maybe that was the curse, and after this year the curse is over!!
As a student we flipped our **** when we won only 7 games.
That would be a huge help if we can get that JUCO DE and TE

We signed the DE (Leo Jackson) in the spring. Is there someone else I'm not thinking of?
The big personnel questions for the fall are (no particular order):
1. Bobo being academically eligible
2. Solis having things together
3. Irwin coming back healthy and shaking the rust off quickly.
4. Callahan's status to play this year with the NCAA.
5. Kafovalu being academically eligible.
6. French signing for 2014 and providing a lift to the TE group.
7. Jackson providing a lift to the DE group.
Pretty much all of those things need to happen. We also need a bunch of the newcomers to make important contributions (Keeney, Fields, Wiefels and Lee top that list, imo). We're also going to need some guys to make a strong year-to-year improvement.
Maybe it's being in the middle of the offseaon with nothing but hope and dreams to sustain me, but I really believe it's coming together just like when no one saw MacIntyre's 4-win jump to a 5-7 2nd season at SJSU coming.
P.S. Can someone please change HCMM's photo on his wikipedia page? It's from SJSU and that's simply not acceptable. This one from the Grantland preview wouldn't be bad to crop:
Blake Robbins is a 3rd year soph who would be in the same class as Reed, afaik.
Whoa..pass the bong, bro.
I would be so happy and wouldn't care if we dropped the next 6.
But anyone marking the UMASS game as a win is silly - we have to travel East. That isn't a sure thing.
Do I really have to worry about UMASS? That makes me sad.
Whenever I think we have a game in the bag I google this picture.
Not an apt comparison. That was the fastest.quarterback.ever. Second fastes QB ever? That dude from Hawaii in 2011. Wow!
Whenever I think we have a game in the bag I google this picture.
At least I don't think we have to worry about RG moving the game to Wednesday night in order to get some tv money.
I hate to say it, but if we lose this game you will have in effect proven every declarative statement you've made false. With our FCS record with better teams than we currently have I am nervous as hell!
We need to keep track of these things.
I'll cross that bridge in the unlikely event it happens. I will say both FCS teams we played last year were quite a bit better than UMass
