Well, it looks like UstateAgs.com is down now, at least I can't get it to come up.....
So, I'll pose my question here:
How many wins will this years Football team have?
I am going with 6, simply because I am giving Mic and his recruiting efforts the benifit of the doubt. 4 home games?? Man, that is tough.....at least we can count on a road win against Middle Tennessee St. THEY REALLY SUCK!!!
Here's how I see it coming down:
First, OOC: @ Alabama -- Katching! Loss, but few injuries (SEC outspeeds you, doesn't beat you up much); Utah -- looks closer than it is, but can't be won; @ Clemson -- Katching! See Alabama. 0-3 OOC
Now for League: Mick's only gone 2-4 in two league seasons on the road. I can't think of any nonleague road wins except for Troy and UConn during independence. Since we have only 3 home league games and 5 on the road (one designated), I think the best we can hope for is: Idaho* -- payback, or it's a 9 or 10 loss season; @Vega$ -- can't see us winning down there; @LaMo -- probable win; @ MUTS -- probable win; @ ASU -- probable win; @ Troy -- probable loss; UNT -- tossup; NMSU -- tossup. Assuming we split the two home tossups, lose at Troy and Vega$, we are 5-3 at best, 5-6 overall.
If we do better than that, I'll be surprised. If we win 7, I'll be shocked. If we win 8, cart me away, I'm done.

I like your line of reasoning 78, my next question would be.....
at 5-6 overall, does Mic keep his coaching job?
Probably not.
That decision will be presidential level, IMHO. The new AD and, if rumors be true, other players to be named later, will be in on the rules of engagement, but won't be involved in making that decision.
This is the make or break year. I don't believe anything less than a 6 win season, maybe 7 (which means probably winning the league) gets Mick his last year of his contract.
how long until Semper Fi finds out about this?
