There is only one measuring stick W's & L's, and the last time I looked it was 14-41 for his stay in the A-10. Take out year one which I believe shouldn't be on him and its 13-26. This year of course 2-3. Just win some DAM games!!!!!

What is the point of all of this? Results are expected this year, and so far, so good. I don't need to see a thousand threads defending, or bashing Ferry. He hasn't pulled off any surprising wins, nor has he lost any games that he shouldn't have. 2-3 is exactly what you would expect them to be, given the schedule to date.

This team has been so bad the last three years that for most of us the goal going into the season of having a simple winning season was very modest for this year.  So far Ferry is on track to meet or exceed that goal.  A big part of that has been the improvement in the defense.  But as Dome states the ultimate goal for this team is to win championships and get to the NCAA.   A winning season this year, developing a winning attitude, and moving up to the top part of the league next year is vital for this Program.

I must have misread the current record, are we 6-12? I like this board but sometime I feel like I went back in time to 1977-78, where people in my office would complain after Steeler wins that the defense was scoring all our points and we needed a better Q Back.

I for one will enjoy every win we get and was surprised that the defense has stepped up. And pleased.

I think for most of us, this is just a case of  being one year behind. This was the level of performance most of us expected last year,(Steve was even willing to bet me on this result two years ago  19-20 wins and NIT level)  not the nightmare that got off to the horrible non-conference record and the year just got worse.

Perhaps this has led us to press a little bit, thinking "we should be better than this level in year 4"
