quote:Expectations, sure. But reality even more so. We play in a division that has 3 and at times 4 top 10-15 teams in it. You look at our 2 deep roster and look at the 2 deep rosters of Alabama, Auburn (at times), Arkansas and LSU. How many players on our 2 deep would be on a 2 deep at either of those schools? As long as those schools are churning out top 10 recruiting classes and we get all giddy about a top 20 recruiting class, then we will probably continue to lose to at least 3 of the 4 mentioned. Are we happy about it? Absolutely not! We were on the cusp against Auburn 2 years running. Played LSU as closely as anyone last year. Took Arkansas to OT the year before. You get really tired of losing those kinds of games. But when you step back and look at it - we probably had no excuse for being in some of those games other than just guts and hard work. Still though - it's frustrating as hell!
I see MSU fans answer this question daily. I don't understand how people can't get that different schools have different expectations. Trent Johnson would not still be coaching at UK, and Mark Richt be hailed as the greatest coach of all time if he had his same record at MSU.
