Did Last year cause unrealistic expectations this season?

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I mean let's look back... We beat the teams we should have plus we beat a Uga team that ended 6-7 without their best play maker, we beat a down UF team without their best play maker and then destroy a bad Michigan team with a lot of drama surrounding their program. If Uga and UF have Green and Rainey, I doubt we win those games last season which would have put us at 6-6 going into the bowl game, which would have put us on pace for turning our program around but there is no way we would have gotten the publicity that we have gotten this season. Instead we go 8-4 because things lined up just right for us last season and the media starts calling us the dark horse to win the SEC when in reality we aren't even close to talent wise to compete for a SEC championship. <div>
</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Watching us play this season, every team that's beat us has had more talent than we did. I know every Msu fan expected to beat Auburn but bottom line is it's tough to go on the road and win a SEC game no matter who you are playing. I had an Msu fan about to commit suicide sitting behind me today because we didn't win... The last time I checked Uga has a hell of a lot more talent than we do so why anyone expected that we would come into Sanford Stadium and beat Uga soundly are just fooling themselves. Uga has a good football team. Could we have won today? You damn right but you can't make the mistakes we did today and win on the road no matter who you are. If Chris Smith catches that ball before half, we may have been 3-2 instead of 2-3. That was a 14 point swing that could have change the momentum of the game going into half Bottom line is we aren't a bad football and we aren't a good football team. We are just an average SEC team. </div><div>
</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I know people ***** about recruiting but you have to have more than 1 winning season. I mean when's the last time Msu has had back to back bowls? One winning season is not going to bring in top recruits. Our recruiting will get better when we start winning consistently. I know most fans will be disappointed with a 6 or 7 win season, but right now just going to bowls will help us to land better recruits. </div><div>
</div><div>I know everyone is pissed about losing but we will beat Uab, Kentucky and Ole Miss. I know some are saying Ole Miss is getting better but they are blinded by their emotions because Ole Miss is a very bad football team. I don't agree with some of Mullen's decisions but at least he's trying to coach his *** off every game. Mullen has our expectations high when in reality we should realize that it's going to take more than 1 winning season for us to be SEC contenders and win these types of games on the road. </div><div>
</div><div>On a happy note... Uga girls are smoking hot and made the trip to Athens more than worth while. </div>
