That'a way to aim high!
As much as it pains me to say this, He actually was aiming high (see, just threw up in my mouth).
Historically, TXST's Grid Iron performances have been inept, incompetent, underperforming soul sucking spectacles. Think of the Key Stone Cops in Football Gear. Seven winning seasons since 1985 or '86, I forget which, and really don't want to travel down memory lane to confirm which. That's the kind of record that just begs you to set the bar low . . . . (lower).
And our most recent history (the past 3 seasons) show season wins of 3, 2, and 2. That's 7 wins in 3 seasons.
So I get a "cautious" prediction of any win total coming out of San Marcos next year.
Me, I'm shooting the works. This is Withers 3rd year. I'm looking for 6 wins minimum, or a new Coach.
Not to mix apples and oranges, but in the past few years I've seen the Red Sox break an 86 year curse. The Cubs overcome an even longer drought, and the lowly Astros reach the top of the Mountain. Surely in year 3 of his tenure, Withers can attain a paltry 6 football wins... . . . . yeah, right.
