So post it.
I know I said 8 wins preseason, and ITT I said 8 wins is progress and 7 isn't.
Is 8-4 success? What about 7-5?

I said 9-3 and that was assuming pedo state was a top 10 team. This season has been a failure. Only question left - has it been a mild failure or a massive failure

Maybe? I would say generally, but I think it’s possible to have a loss so bad (or a win so massive) that it basically sinks or elevates a season.

Rhule will also get plenty of time. He will get atleast two more years.

I’d predicted a 9-3 regular season coming in, so 8-4 will be short of my expectations, 7-5 will piss me off.
Truth be told, we could see really any outcome against Cockeye and the bowl game. Could finish 9-4, likely finish is 7-5 and I can’t talk myself into that as progress.
There are absolutely things I saw this year that looked like progress. Better offense overall. Better special teams by a lot. Defense was actually better than I thought it would be without Nash and Robinson.
Dylan’s injury changes how I’ll look at the last four games for sure, but I can’t paint any picture that excuses the team not showing up against Minnesota.

In fairness no one care about bowl games anymore. 7-5 or 9-3 all everyone sees is you didn’t make the cfbp

I don’t think the USC game was a guarenteed win if Dylan doesn’t get hurt given how we let teams stick around.

At the very least Dylan has shown he can put together a game-winning drive

He has…and there were also some pretty awful teams/years in there too.

I remember most people being around 8 or 9
Except for maybe @Baron Winnebago I don't remember many predicting 10+ and playoffs etc

Before the season started I said anything less than 8-4 is a failure. I'm sticking with that. However, even if we beat Cockeye and get to 8-4. The Minnesota game will be on my mind. That is an absolute black eye on the season.

In hindsight we weren’t going to beat Michigan or PSU. Both have better rosters and we didnt match well at all. Our run defense is our weakness and their run offense their strength. If we play either of them 10 times they win the majority.
We should have beat USC and you have to consider at least one letdown per season, which was Minnesota.
We should never lose to Cockeye.
So that’s a 9-3 season. If we beat Minny and USC we are 10-2 and probably in the playoffs.
So I think 9 wins is a successful season. We get there if Dylan doesn’t get hurt. Now we have to beat Cockeye and win our bowl game to get there.

I get a letdown game, but to get raped by a shitty Minnesota team is inexcusable. We didn’t even show a pulse that night.
