Lester's major never next year. No excuse to not dominate the MAC next season. I'm excited to see him take this program and continue the trajectory.

GO BRONCOS!!

We should certainly be one of the teams in the mix for the MAC West division. Whether we win it or not depends largely-not entirely-on our ability to find replacements for Davis and Terrell.

We should be in the mix but I wouldn't hold Lester to the standard of MACC or bust. @Toledo in particular is gonna be a tough one.

I realize we have owned the MAC in recruiting for a few years and that will keep us in the mix. But Toledo has nipped at our heels on the recruiting trail and will have a very good senior QB which is huge in this league. I'm not so sure they aren't the favorite on paper (although I admittedly don't know a ton about their D).

Top 2 in MAC West or bust?

We're already starting to reduce our expectations. Very disappointing.

I would say 2L-max-in-MAC-or-bust. :)

If our QB is Good and has a capable receiving corps -- 1L-max-in-MAC-or-bust.

Too soon to tell.

Let's see how Spring Practice goes.

Started to happen within an hour of the hiring.

We lose the fearless leader, the 4yr senior QB, the 4yr leading WR in NCAA and both other starting wide-outs. We never really got to season a back up QB all year because Fleck stuck with Terrell in most situations and when Flacco was put into play he NEVER threw the ball. We also lose an NFL caliber OL-man... I think its more than reasonable at this point to be cautiously optimistic but blindly believing we belong back in the MACC next year... not so fast.

EMU will be improved. NIU will be improved. Toledo is a wildcard but the glass bowl has never been kind to us... and I am sure our new coach will likely be having panic attacks going back into that place... Its going to be a tougher road this year...

Solid programs don't rebuild, they reload. We have talent in this program. Are we at the level yet where we are reloading? We shall see.

If we get there WMU will most likely have to contend with Miami of Ohio a program that should be formidable next year. They have recruited well and will continue along that path.

I would put money on Chuck Martin being the next coach poached from the MAC, followed by Creighton. Damn this conference.

Change "dominate" to "win," and I'm with you.

Most importantly, though, so is Lester.

I definitely think there are reasons ("excuses") as to why we wouldn't Dominate the MAC next season. We're not a P5 in a G5 conference. And the MAC overall is going to get better this coming year, and we lost our HC, whole Offensive Coaching Crew, very possibly our DC -- and the spirit of PJ sucked out of the air to motivate them... while also our star QB and best WR we ever had, and another key WR.

Playing @Toledo and @NIU -- with the MAC East improving... I don't see how it's "ours to lose" as if we're playing in a game with a 21-pt lead already. :)

But my God. 7-8 wins "Yeah that would be a good year." Said no fan from any legitimate team ever. Michigan fan "yeah, give me 8 wins I'll be happy." Grow some expectations and get out from the decades of mediocrity. What I speak is for your own good.

10+ wins, MACC is absolute minimum next year.
