Why San Jose instead of, say, Utah State?Originally Posted by persnickety
Oh really? San Jose State is picked to be ahead of Ole Miss this season. And, I'm wondering how we'll beat Idaho and lose to USU (considered by many to be the worst team in the nation).

We didnt exactly set the world on fire against Utah St. last year. I'm wondering when the last time San Jose put two good seasons together. They could be in for a big big let down....certainly if they are beaten by us.
7-5, because the football gods have smiled favorably upon Dooley's Dawgs...
No, we didn't set the world on fire against USU, but we did beat them. We did not beat Idaho. The last time SJSU put together back to back bowl seasons was 86-87. But, the defense that held BSU to 23 points returns 7 and they have the best DBs in the WAC along with one of the best running games. SJSU could be the WAC sleeper for a conference title (odds on them winning it are definitely better than they are for Nevada or FSU).

I have put alot of thought into this question. I don't see us going no worse than 5-7. I personally think 6-6, with a 7-5 with a little luck. Its not like these guys are walking into a school w/ no talent. I have felt for years that we have had talent to go 7-5, consistently and be in top 3 in the WAC year in and year out. We have never had the coaching staff to do it, loser attitudes are so contagious. 6-6 is where I am thinking and that is pretty good considering the scheduling and first year for these coaches.

San Jose played their best game of the season against BSU last year. If they had played BSU ten times, it would have been blow out city 9 of the 10. San Jose contending for the WAC title is ridiculous. Hawaii and BSU are untouchable and will be for the next 5 years.

untouchable. 5 years. ummm...that's a bit of a reach...
Oh, and 6-6 this year...the first of a three year plan in building a team that will become annual contenders for the conference title and have a shot at a big bowl within 5.
Here's to exceeding expectations...GO DAWGS!

You know nobody thought we could beat Alabama and we did, nobody thought we could beat Michigan State and we did. I was there when we fought tooth and nail against Oklahoma State every step of the way to beat them and we were definitely not favorites in that game. Nobody thought we would go to Fresno State year before last and whip them up and down their own field like they were puppies. Nobody chose us to be the WAC champs the year we joined and it doesn't seem like to me anybody other than us ever expects a thing from us. And I can't help it, I know I shouldn't but I expect we could beat anybody we ever play - and that includes LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, BSU and anybody else that comes down the pike depending on the day! I know in my head it logically it does not make sense to think we will beat an LSU or an A&M, but God help me, my heart tells me YES we can - because anything can happen, and just in case we do, I damn sure want to be there and see it when it does. Now I don't know how many games we will win this year for sure, but I ain't about to start this year thinking we are going to lose any of them!!! And thats how we should ALL be thinking. A positive attitude, a desire by each and everyone of us to win might just will it to happen!
