Not a bad way to build interest but at some point you have to start winning conference games, or build national interest enough to hire a coach who can. I don't think any fan base will stand for 2-3 conference wins a season for too long. At some point your expectations will grow.
Rogtheshrubber nailed it and most State fans will agree. After the turd of a team Jackie and Croom put on the field the past 7 or 8 years before Mullen came in State fans just wanted to have a winning record and go bowling and thats fine for now. In another couple years expectations will grow and we will have to win conference games for that to happen. Mullen will never be fired as long as he goes bowling every year but eventually 8 and 9 win seasons will be expected but the occasional 6 or 7 win season will be OK. You are gonna take steps back some years.

Your fan base will expect more at some point, which isn't a bad thing. He is building a foundation.

This. Maybe State still isn't consistently beating the best teams in the nation true, but we're significantly better than the past years. That's huge for us and I think we're all just crossing our fingers we can keep that up and go up from here.
