Message: [QUOTE="Marbles90, post: 4775176, member: 7436"] Can we just agree that we have improved from the historic horrible teams of 3+ years ago but we are still a very very bad bottom 10-20 football team? Yes, games are closer which is good but how can you guys on one hand say we are losing to G5 teams but happy we are playing them closer and then in the next sentence say the G5 conferences are beneath us? I just don’t get why people are content with being independent and happy to play a schedule with 4 P4 teams a year over being in a conference. Winning will help us move up. We really cannot compete with the P4 unless the state/university just magically decides to make a HUGE invest in football which we all know is not going to happen. Our head coach, who has brought hope to the program has come right out and said this. And yet folks still think otherwise. Bottomline, we need to be in a conference. It is sorta laughable that folks actually think the P4 are our peers. Why are we playing them? Because it’s more attractive for the fans that don’t show up for the games anyway? We should just get into a G5 conference and have something to play for. Win there, make a few bowls, possibly a conference championship and start talking about moving up. Did someone actually post that we could get an at large to the playoff as an independent over a team from the SEC/B1G? I agree a MAC or CUSA G5 is a super long shot but…c’mon, an at large? Really?
