I hope we are better than 6-6.

[T-Dog]

I hope we are better than 6-6.

Clark better hope we are better than 6-6.

That $3 million buyout drops to $1 million in December and all it takes is a small group of angry boosters.

Angry influential boosters. Fixed it! lol

Well if those in the know are to be believed, as long as our young QB comes in and plays decently well, we’ll at least win 8 this year, hopefully more, with a HUGE BOUNCE in 2024.

I personally see a 10 win season if our defense as a whole can be better than last year.

[pop5app]

I hope we are better than 6-6.

Yeah, not really a rousing endorsement!

It's not. And if we go 6-6 or 6-7, Clark is probably done. And the guy who extended him...

[EastHallApp]

Nope. Basically said nothing positive about the team, just that the schedule is more favorable.

What were you expecting??? - It was 10 teams who should return to bowl games - not 10 teams who could win national championship---
Some of you guys are so hung up with negativity it's alarming

We are going to have a lot of new faces on both sides of the ball so I can see some bumps in the road early. I would emplore all of us to be patient WHEN that happens.

- Gardner Webb: Win
- UNC: I'm not hopeful
- ECU: Toss up
- Wyoming: Toss up
- ULM: Win...Coming out party?
- Coastal: Win
- ODU: Win
- Southern Miss: Win
- Marshal: Toss up
- Georgia State: Win
- JMU: Tough one....App late
- Southern: Win

That said conference play will be fun. Hopefully a lot of the issues are ironed out and we finish strong....7-5 with a bowl game.

The reality is that we were 6-6 last year. There are three schools of thought here.
1) We should have been 10-2 so the season was a failure,
2) We could have easily been 3-9 but got lucky. This staff as destroyed the program and change is needed and inevitable,
or 3) the least popular with the most objectionable commentary from the fanbase, we were 6-6 due to lingering problems that sat below the surface and were masked by winning.

Whatever option you tie your opinion to is the hill that you will die on. Is Shawn the right guy for the job? maybe/maybe not. Is someone else, anyone else the right man for the job? Again, maybe/maybe not.

Option 3 is the most correct. Talent masked issues.

How about the expectation being better than 6-6 or better than 4th in the East? Seriously, how do you not get that?

So 7-5 and third place would be good with you? That’s the bar. Got it.

Nope! But you and AppStateFAKENews have definitely lowered the standard.

Not sure how but OK.

If you look, I made no comments on the article - just put it there for others to read - but we get ---

"Clark better hope we are better than 6-6." --- NO SHIT
"It's not. And if we go 6-6 or 6-7, Clark is probably done. And the guy who extended him..." --- FIRE 'EM ALL
"a small group of angry boosters." --- FROM THE DARK SIDE
"How about the expectation being better than 6-6 or better than 4th in the East? Seriously, how do you not get that?" --- DID I SAY THAT?

[appstate77]

With the expectations of our fan base, 6-6 would be dangerous for Shawn's future here, UNLESS, we are looking toward the super team we are supposed to have in '24.

[Saint3333]

Why stir the post and not put out a projections?

Have some courage.

[MDaniels]

I think that our qb play might surprise us in a good way. Building defense back to where it's been historically.
10-2 or bust !
