With all the accumulated talent, those ON-THE-FIELD MAC titles should begin rolling in any day now.

Like, this Fall.

As an old kazoo boy, we both agree about what should happen on the field this fall... This team is loaded with talent...

Talent is the number one variable for sure but there are others. Schedule, injuries at critical positions, depth and team chemistry play major roles. Nobody on our schedule is going to roll over because they've heard of P.J.'s fine recruiting classes. Most likely, the opposite is true. 9-3, 8-4.

Of course not but this seems to me to be a favorable schedule. I think 9-3 is about right but I think we can win the MAC at 9-3..

9-3 is not "ELITE," just very good.

We've been there before.

I could be happy with 9-3 as long as there was a MAC championship included. Best Bronco years in last 50 were 1966 & 1988. ...

You too young to remember MAC-West championships in 1999 and 2000?

Besides, Fleck was hired and given all the tools to do better than we have in the past, not just equal it.

And he has promised to make us "ELITE."

"Given" or "went out and got"? He went out and fundraised himself player.

It's like you guys are mad about getting good recruiting classes and donors to fund salaries and projects.

It's football. It's fun. Or supposed to be at least. Chillax.

Fundraiser?

Even though Alec Gores is listed on Wiki as a prestigious alum, our crack athletic department didn't know who he was until he called KB to talk about the USC game.

It's one thing to solicit donations and another when it falls into your lap.

The possibility of three bowl games in a row may not meet the criteria for "elite," but I sure like it.

If we went 9-3 and won a MACC that would be a 10 win season at a minimum. Thats elite enough for me considering we haven't won a title in 28 years and never won 10.

If we can't win it this year with our talent and schedule you have to seriously question this staffs ability to do it.

Hoople,
IMO Teams need to play to be MAC Champions.
No big deal to be the best of half the league.
East or West Championships are a waste in both football & basketball.

You're also supposed to win, or people lose their jobs. This isn't Pop Warner.

Nobody's mad - just wanting the promised ON THE FIELD results.

I don't care if we only win 7 games and win a MACC. It's not about the win/loss total for me, I just want a championship to celebrate.
