9-4 is a solid year to build on.. one BCS championship does not mean we're going to be 13-0 every year thereafter

not that long ago a 3 or 4 loss season for us (under PETRINO) was a great season

Put in context, 9-4 after last year would be grrrreat in my book. Besides, the count said 9-4 would be "fine", and WKU said it would be "solid".
Context is key, though, IMO. 10-3 when the team is a title contender is not a great year, but going 10-3 when you expected to only win five 5 games is pretty awesome. And I think you'll find that true with every football fanbase in the country.

I dont expect to go 12-1 after just going 6-6 so yes 9-4 and a bowl win would be great as far as i'm concerned.

I am going to have to wait and see the product before I will judge the season as a whole. If I see discipline, good technique and enthusiasm I will be pretty happy. Our defense may be a real problem. Hopefully Jeff can have our offense cranked up.

There is absolutely no reason to think this team will go 9-4 next year other than pulling a wild ass prediction out of your ass.

But then again the schedule is pretty weak.....

You nailed it nm. This is a very weak sked, one made for a BCS run. I'm not blaming Krag for not making a BCS, but I want to see some !$@*@ ASS football played this year.
