Let’s Be Realistic

[RUforlife]

I just can’t handle this stupid crap. If you follow football- we have been crap for a F-int decade. The fact that we are expected to beat programs in their first year of disarray is - I’m not even sure how to put it.
It is like some of you are in a vacuum.
And if a single year just knocked MSU and NWU behind us, shouldn’t that tell you something?

I just can't handle the stupid crap idea that we have put programs that have accomplished a hell of a lot more than us in the B1G behind us because we happen to beat them in a given year. Give me a break. MSU's program is a complete disaster this year, but for the fact for a couple of special teams screwups they still would have beat us. We have not put MSU "behind us", that is laughable, we just beat them this year, the next time might be a different result.

Okay - you are pointing to ONE game that was played in a rain storm. UCF just took Oklahoma to the wire on one given day. BC took FSU to the wire (yet on other days they lost to Northern Illinois and could barely scape by Holy Cross). We have 4 wins by 3 scores + vs. FBS opponents - 3 from major conferences. In one season that is impressive. When was the last time we accomplished that?

Nobody is saying we’ve surpassed these teams as a program but this season is different even from 2014 where we gutted out most of our wins (except Indiana). Why crap on the success?

you cant have it both ways- We beat some good programs this year. Even if they are going through some off the field crap. So, either they are good wins or you feel they were easy because we are better than them.

No one gave us a break when we were making a 10th of the other B1G teams with Ash at the helm.

We beat the teams that we should have beat and that is not always easy, I said that in a previous post. I have also said that this run of 6 games is a against opponents with a 11-25 record. I am very happy for our accomplishments and I think Greg Schiano deserves credit, but I want the 7th win which would really cement the fact that we are making progress. That is my stand, get the 7th win against a good team.

Well, if they all beat us at least their records would be 17-19 lol

Because that's just who he is.

And we lost to both teams. I'm sure he meant to say we have not beaten a team with a winning record.m

I know what he meant. The point is he kept saying I did not read it correctly…

 

[RUBOB72]

Greg needs to beat Michigan, PSU, or OSU before we talk extensions this early.

Yes we ALL know and understand this.

Let's do a sort of apples to apples- Maryland and Rutgers came to the B1G at the same time, though, they got more funding.
Their wins to date have a record of 11-24 while ours currently stand at 14-29
Maryland losses have been 10-5 and our losses are 12-2

Very similar. And where we have been compared to them over the past few years- that is a huge jump for us
