Just gonna tap the brakes here and suggest everyone go get their blood Kool-Aid levels checked. I mean, what's all this talk of going to a bowl game? In August, most of us were expecting to only get 4 wins, 5 if we're lucky. Well, we got our 5 wins so why are we putting all this unrealistic pressure on our team to win anymore? So how about this: Let's just say "Mission Accomplished" We should not get greedy. Let's just take it easy now. I say we accept our record as a triumph as it is and start focusing on next year. :D

Smack yourself until the Kool-Aid kicks in.

Man this is fun. Taking about bowl games again. Would that be the old tangerine bowl? Id take that in Orlando against a team like NC State. Would be a lot of fun.

You're obviously joking, but it's kind of an interesting point. I predicted 5 wins and would have been happy with that progress. With this good start, it's going to be difficult to be happy with six or seven wins if that's how it ends. Winning is confusing.

Mods, can we delete this post? It’s un-American. :jimlad. There’s a chasm between satisfied and euphoric. We’re going full-tantric now that we’ve passed Titanic.
