But you have to admire what App State has done in their first 4 years in FBS. You don't know if they're done yet. They may become the next Boise State. I think those admiring what App State has done are correct. Being "like them" isn't our ultimate goal. But it wouldn't be a bad start to catch up to them.

The have done well in the Sun Belt, and can be "admired" for that, all true. No evidence at all that they can sniff Boise level. None. No wonder UL cannot ever get anywhere with people thinking App State is the new standard around here. Think bigger people.

There is no school to compare UL to.

However it is easier to be an unencumbered fast moving upstart with no baggage, than a school with a long history of self imposed limitations because it's been deemed "hard work."

Bullsht...UCF was 0-12 in 2015...they are 12-0 and ranked in the top 10 today and about to hire Kevin Sumlin. You can be the place that makes excuses of why you can’t get it done or the place that sees no reason why you can’t get it done.

Alabama. I said it first.

YES. This is what I'm trying to get people to understand. We are nobody until we are somebody.

Who said they are the new standard? You can’t get to Boise level without getting to app’s level. Boise started by winning their conference and 10 win seasons.

Might be a tad bit too high.

Man up.

Yes this Football program should strive to attain the highest level possible. To launch this program we need a launching pad. We need to dominate THIS Conference and to start that could we please win an outright Championship just once? Something that we have never done since this Football Conference was founded.

Thankfully, there's actually going to be an outright champion from next year forward.

We'll have to beat App State (maybe twice) to get it, though.

UCF went from 0-12 to 13-0 and the Peach Bowl in what? 2 years?

When Robe walked in to interview here, he walked in with this pitch: Here's what I need you to provide me with for us to win the National Championship.

The goal of this program should be a New Year's Six bowl in 2 years.

Stop telling me it can't be done. This has happened more than once, y'all.

Why not here?

And if we come close and fall short? Y'all alright with a 10 win season in year 3 or 4? The reason softball and baseball compete on a national level is because they have coaches who are capable and have vision. Still the case with the new hire in softball, passing the baton. Listen to the way they talk. We're competing for a national championship.

They'll never let us into the playoff. But make them tell you no to the New Year's Six at 13-0 or 12-1 (with the new SBC championship).

Stop telling me it can't be done. Somebody out there is the next PJ Fleck (4 years, Cotton Bowl Western Michigan 13-0), Scott Frost (2 years, Peach Bowl 13-0 UCF), Kyle Whittingham (4 years, Utah, 13-0 WON Sugar Bowl over Alabama)

Stop telling me how painstaking a process it is. find the next PJ Fleck, Scott Frost, or Kyle Whittingham and let's make this program what it's capable of becoming.

If the attitude is "it can't be done" it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.

Is every "can be done" successful? No.

But every "successful" started with a "can be done."

Our goal should be national championship in every sport!! Even football!!! If you want to be big time you have to walk and talk big time! If you have swagger and do everything to bring about it... it can happen. There are glass ceilings right now but they can be broken! You need to carry a big stick and start knock off people in these "money" games! That is where you start and you build it from there! If you want to be the man you have to beat the man! That is all!
