Your sarcasm aside, this isn't about one or two losses and I hope you're smart enough to know that. It's about progress and you start showing progress by picking up winnable games i.e. Louisville and in this case ole miss.
Ole miss is not some kind of magical powerhouse this year. The reason the odds are so skewed is because Vegas builds lines based primarily on history. They don't even look at injuries or anything like that until they get to the big money draw games. We need to start pulling off the wins on these coin toss games. That is how you measure progress.
Any coach of menial competence can come in here and win 5 games, look at the schedule. I think a lot of our fanbase has been lulled into accepting mediocrity and gets excited with anything above average. That expectation is what is hurting us from the beginning. Expecting a NC every year? Sure that's far fetched, but it's a goal. In the meantime pulling off 8+ win seasons regularly should be expected.
So yes, raise your bottom feeding standards a bit. I didn't say Key can't do it, I said it's time to show up with results. The rest of that candy ass thinking can GTFO of here.

I would like to think beating a team favored by 18pts over us is more than just them overlooking us. Let's do this.
