Some folks have predicted 8 on our board. Which is also reasonable.

8 or 9 wins for Ole Miss is more reasonable than any of the others listed. I think AU fans will probably have the biggest meltdown when Muffin blows them out for the 2nd straight year.

Key word. People can PREDICT what ever they want, so long as their EXPECTATIONS are rational and logical.

When OM fans EXPECT more than 7 wins and we don't get there, it leads to irrational frustration.

When people have irrational frustration, they look for someone to blame for why we lost to teams who were better than us.

When people look for someone to blame because we lost to teams who were better than us, they blame it on the head coach.

When people blame it on the coach, they want him fired.

When they want him fired, I'm forced to snatch up motherfrickers in the Grove who actually believe a 2nd year coaches seat should get hot and pound them like milk fed veal to teach them a lesson about realistic expectations and how booting ANY football coach before they have 5 full season is re-gotdamn-fricking-tarded.
