where it's national title contender or bust.

In the grand scheme of things, 9-3 and over .500 is still a very good season. Relatively disappointing the way things lined up this year in a lot of ways? Sure. But too old to not just enjoy the season. I have no control over the outcome.

Sorry, but with this schedule and roster that's not good - 1500University MU - 10/17 14:34:10

are we not "contending" for the playoffs?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 10/17 14:38:50

Not if we go 9-3. Need 11-1 for that nm - mu-ku 2009 MU - 10/17 14:40:08

I don't think you understand what "contending" means(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 10/17 14:40:53

9-3 isnt contending and neither is 10-2 with a soft schedule - mu-ku 2009 MU - 10/17 14:42:12

If you miss by 1 game, you contended. - alwaysright MU - 10/17 20:38:06

I think the roster has been oversold a little bit - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 10/17 14:39:59
