Standards are pretty low here.

This team does have question marks, but overall it is very experienced, competitive talent, has a senior QB that is probably the best pro prospect we've ever had at QB, and supposedly has the staff harmony they've been looking for.

To not win at least one more game (only looking at regular seasons) is a disappointment.
We are predicted/favored to win 8 and the o/u is 6.5 to account for national perception (not reality) and Mizzou's national perception is never all that high.

The expectation for this season needs to be 8 wins. If things go very well for us, 9 or 10 are not impossible. If things go poorly for us, a disappointing 7 wins is possible, and a sign of being stuck in mediocrity for the foreseeable future.
6 wins is a failure and we should be looking for a new coach, but we can't and we're stuck for at least a few more years.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Matt Michaels on Big Show wants to know if 6 or 7 wins - OldJay MU - 8/29 16:24:15

7 or less and time to move on from BO, for me.(nm) - SuperTone MU

Winning 6-7 games this year is a terrible result - alwaysright MU - 8/30 13:49:35

I'd guess for Sterk, too.(nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 8/30 12:05:03

IMO, 9 would be success, 8 pretty good, 7 status quo, - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/30 07:05:55

Been saying this for a while. If Odom can't win 8 - alwaysright MU - 8/30 07:30:15

Completely agree. So far, he hasn't proven that he can - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/30 07:59:52

6 or less is failure. 7 expected. 8+ success - coolbean MU - 8/29 20:29:29

RE: 6 or less is failure. 7 expected. 8+ success - Gallowglass USMC - 8/30 04:22:57

Your bar is too low. Gotta think about the future. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/30 07:18:13

Don't let anyone tell you Mizzou fans are delusional. - alwaysright MU - 8/30 07:28:30

I agree on all accounts. I really hope that Odom is the guy, - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/30 08:03:22

8 needs to be the expectation. - alwaysright MU - 8/29 22:07:54

Sure would like to see improvement over last year - samclemens MU

- 8/29 21:18:48

Tell me your assumptions? - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 8/29 18:22:28

It really doesn't matter what other factors are in play - Hbombtiger STL - 8/30 06:15:32

Agreed. And win total does matter. If we win 9 games, even - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/30 07:07:27

I want 1 win we weren't supposed to win - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 17:45:55

Me too hogtown - UncleTupelo MU - 8/29 17:59:52

Ask him if he knows what channel the game will be on in - 44.f6 Rd1 MU - 8/29 17:08:40

Depends upon the losses... - muwinn MU - 8/29 17:04:43

That's pretty accurate....8+ wins = success - Mormad MU - 8/29 16:27:50

9+ = success, 8 = expected, 7 = disappointment, 6- = failure - zounami MU - 8/29 16:31:12

That's not consensus. 7 is. - coolbean MU - 8/29 20:29:56

We're favored in 8 if you go game by game but - alwaysright MU - 8/29 22:09:49

That is my expectation nm - nitwittc3 MU - 8/29 19:52:29

No one cares what you think sue (nm) - Nohawks MU - 8/29 18:01:41

Agreed. (nm) - Hickeytime MU

- 8/29 17:21:04

What are the 8 wins? - Chievous'Bandaid MU - 8/29 16:37:00

Here's 10.... - UncleTupelo MU - 8/29 16:46:10

losses = Bama, Georgia, Florida, USC (nm) - zounami MU - 8/29 16:40:11

We're not going to lose to USC or Florida. (nm) - Tiger_Claw MU

- 8/29 17:04:47
