There were a lot of good things that came out of last night's game but obviously there is much work to do. A little humility at this point on the part of our fans would be a good thing.

Agree. Hopefully this will bring some of our more irrational fans a bit more into reality. We are TONS better than a year ago, but so is the competition.

not the first time a PAT cost appy the game.

The '13 class was recruited with the knowledge we were headed to FBS.

People had said that for years, wasn't anything definite or known.

2013 Class was signed the 2nd week of February. We were publicly offered an invite to the SB in March. They knew.

No one knew at that time who would be invited and who would not be.
Look back at the threads from that time period.
App State wasn't even sure our administration would take a Sun Belt
offer if given in addition to that.

Yeah, but penalties, turnovers, fundamentals are universal. FCS, D2.....doesn't matter.

I'd argue 2014 was the first full FBS class. Recruiting starts the summer before and we can't recruit as an FBS program until the very end. So let's just say we've had 1.5 a FBS classes.
