it's fine to have that mindset if you're actually a team in the running or that has been in the running. but miss me with fanbases who haven't seen a 10 win season in 10 years talking about title or bust. be more rational and set your goals accordingly.
Loser mentality.
So my goal is 8 wins this year? That should be my goal?
Are you ****** serious?
So we should start every year, just hopin to get 6 wins for a bowl, then maybe 8 the next year ,then we can dare to dream about 10 wins, now all our players graduate or leave for the NFL, so we go back to hopin for 6 wins, then 8..........
Naw. Win it all, or failed year. I can't be any more clear than that.
Sure that don't mean that steps aren't taken, programs rise and fall, etc. Course that goes on. 6 wins to 10 wins, great. Good for that program. Still didn't win the title, so how can one walk around claiming success?
Again, Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, USC, Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, etc, you think all those teams walk into each season hopin to just win X number of games? Just win their division/conference? Those teams, those programs didn't get great by hoping to win a few games and maybe a bowl win, or a tournament win, etc. They go after it all, and when they fail, they come back harder the next year, and on and on and on.
If you guys want to be happy with 8-9 wins and a bowl game, cool. Enjoy that. Just don't let me find you spouting off on programs that have actually won it all and go for that goal every year, even when they fail. Cuz that's weak as ****.
I have this feeling I'm almost guaranteeing a win for North Carolina tomorrow. Damn near swing the Vegas line all by myself this week. ****.
