We should be upper half of the SunBelt immediately and the SunBelt has tie-ins to like 7 bowl games as a conference. I was not being optimistic, merely pointing out the inaccuracy of your statement with regard to having nothing to play for (bowls, titles) for the next couple (vague) years

I’m not back peddling, “couple” is not vague, couple equals two, which is what most of these transfers would have as remaining eligibility. I even expanded that to cover 2-3 years which is the opposite of backpedaling. Again, it would be extremely optimistic to think we’re playing in a bowl or winning a championship in the next couple of seasons.

Yeah you sorta are.....it is about the opportunity and the opportunity will be there in Year 2. Nothing is guaranteed but the opportunity is there and not exactly like jmu is not prepared to compete at the SB level immediately. You do realize there are like 50 bowls.....so when 6 games and you are probably going bowling

Not at all, I actually doubled down from “couple” years to a more definitive 2-3 years, but that’s your flawed interpretation. Possibility does not equate to probability.

My bad I did not realize folks were guranteed anything when they transferred.....I guess anyone that transferred to Florida/UVA/VT this year got really hosed. But come on UVA and VT both played like a pile of sh** for most of the season.....but guess what both are going bowling. The bar is not too high to qualify for a bowl. Literally 5 FBS wins will do it. (not saying that should be the goal). So you are saying right here, right now that you think the chances of JMU getting 6 wins (5 FBS wins, 1 FCS win) at a minimum in the 2023 season has a slim probability at best.....WOW.

I bet you are a stay in the FCS and stay in the CAA kind of guy that always sees the glass half empty.

And I bet you’re a confused person trying to decipher a simple statement, take things out of context, expound on them to include other nonsense and then make hasty assumptions of others. I merely cited reasons why a transfer would shy away from coming to JMU for the next couple of years. Have a good day.
