Gettin all polytechnic up in there...beware the backlash!

I wish they were the Grapes. Adrian College rejected my request for them to become the Barbeaus, but I have hope that I can get UT Chattanooga to become the Choo Choos. These places are passing up great marketing opportunities!

I think all of that is pretty fair. The scope of this discussion is really 18 and 19, because we would be in the same predicament we thought we were going to be in '18 for '20, in that its really not realistic to expect a coach to be able to recruit on the last year of his contract, so I would expect something (extension of firing) prior to the '20 season. The timeline is perfect as well for most of us, in that we wanted to give Bowden a few more years to see if he can elevate the program to a real top program in the conference. No less than a 6 win season for sure, another conference championship appearance, and another bowl win are what I would want to see to consider another extension. I'm kind of on the fence about a 9 win season, but I think I'll throw that in there as well. I'd agree 2019 seems more realistic for that. In 2018 we have Nebraska, Northwestern, and ISU on the OOC schedule and Nebraska is the most winnable. Crazy times we live in! Once again, only looking at 18 and 19 seasons.

I miss the old "Bracket Buster" match ups.
