I've missed two home games in 6 years!

I agree with him. You want to be a program that beats the Buffalo's of the world 6-3, or you want be the type of program that loses to WVA 40-43? I mean, type of program. Because if you are the type of program that beats Buffalo 6-3, then you are the type of program that loses to Cincinnati 55-10. Which is what is going to happen to us this year.

No, I want a team that wins games. Not loses them. You win and go on to the next game. You never know what will happen every week. You think Baylor is happy they lost to WVU 89-80?

But this type of argument makes no sense whatsoever. As we all know, transitive property doesn't work in college football (or any other sport, for that matter). Just because A > B and B > C, doesn't mean that A will beat C. The prime example of that is Syracuse last year, a team that beat that very same West Virginia team but didn't win enough games to go to a bowl. Or how about Pitt this year, a team good enough to beat Virginia Tech by 17 but not good enough to stay within double digits of Youngstown State!!!

No, my friend. In the world of sports, you take the win, any way you can get it...

My humble opinion is if the opponent is not part of the equation, I would rather win than lose, whether we scored three point or sixty.

On Gars above post; it is just as easy to state that if your defense can hold a team to three points you are going to win a lot of games while if your defense is capable of giving up forty eight points you will lose many games.

I would prefer being somewhat competitive (with a less than stellar W/L record) against top competition to going 10-2 against a buch of chumps. As our schedules going forward will be somewhere between the two, I believe that a reasonable goal is to win eight games during a bad season and ten during good one. We haven't yet gotten there (to ten wins or to where an eight win season would be a considered a down year) but there is no reason why our goals shouldn't be for something above what we have achieved to date.
