    Wait. Hugh Freeze is coaching at Liberty? That makes total sense.

    Several wins in Hud's first year were improbable. Two I recall required last possession on side kick recoveries to avoid a loss. Regardless his first year was his best year IMO.

    As for this year, we absolutely could be a better team and struggle to match last year's record. Moo State may not be as good, but still plenty good, and not playing Bama. We need to take out a good Ohio team that’s not in the Bama zip code. Also playing an improving Liberty. The toughest in conference games are more on the road than I'd hoped for.

    Since 1973 we have won 8 or more games a total of 6 times. And 4 of those have been adjusted down below 8 wins by the NCAA.

    So, no, 8 wins will not be a disappointment.

    We rarely had the depth to win eight games. And like you said the NCAA removed the wins, official or not stay in the minds of the teams. Nobody ever said remember that win the NCAA gave us.

    For some people life is a disappointment.

    Walk off wins against FAU and SDSU in NOLA via field goals come to mind from 2011. The ULM game was nuts and one of my favorite victories from the Hud years. Ladarius Green recovering that onside kick was a thing of beauty. It couldn't have been thrown to him much better.

    Hud first season wins were created because the athletes and fans believed we could win.

    Hud would not have made a Year-One Bowl game if Broadway was the regular season QB.

    Some of you guys need to get really limber and kick yourself in the ___.

    We're a couple of years early talking about being disappointed with 8 wins. Most of our football roster is a massive work in progress. There are just too many variables.

    Only thing on our minds right now should be beating Moo State.

    Blaine wasn’t the only QB that year and Broadway was pretty damn good pre injury

    Broadway was sitting out Blaine's first year under Hudspeth. Broadway got the start in Hud's second season when Blaine broke his hand.

    Very well aware of that, Blaine was not the only QB in huds first year. Hud didn’t know who would start between Masson and Blaine until right before the first game. Blaine was great that year. If Broadway was eligible that year we have may have never known how good he was.

    Perhaps, but that's your opinion. I attended a number of practices and Broadway was not performing up to Blaine's level his second year here, that was the reason he was not starting. So how would have Broadway beaten him his first season here had he been eligible? Broadway wasn't ready early in his second season based upon his performance.
