Now that we are ranked....

Are we allowed to talk about being ranked without being reprimanded??
Obviously the target on our back is huge and we have to stay focused this year, but are the fans looking past someone if we discuss our rank?

At this point just win the one in front of us no matter how it looks or by what margin.

Just play like you belong and have been there before. Can’t and shouldn’t look for help anymore. Go 1-0 every week and we won’t leave the top 25.

We just need to focus on ETSU. No looking forward. One game at a time. I don’t even know what other teams are on the schedule.

hahahaha...
personally enjoying the moment and thinking either we do this thing or not! I mean the program has been at this junction before and if we want to “do more than what’s done before” we need to either put up or shut up!

Yes - of course - we are fans --- I don't remember every reading or hearing the players or coaches saying their goal was to "make the top 25"

Obviously i started this thread in jest, as I was tired of being scolded for not focusing on the next team when we discussed being ranked; I know Coach Drink won’t let the team get too distracted by this.
That being said, I do believe Coach said being ranked was a goal the team set before the season started. The team also mentioned a NY6 bid, but Drink didn’t write that down as too much was out of our control to make it a goal.

Yep - I knew you were in jest - I should have stated none of the players or coaches said "making the top 25 is our ultimate goal"

Very true. Definitely not our ultimate goal. A stepping stone on the path to our ultimate goal, or at least a feather in our cap along the way!
