Forgot conference title.

Yes, but one week at a time. We need to win this week. Then we can worry about the following week.  I love being a fan, too, but it’s more fun to stay in the moment.  We can be really good, but only when the focus is right. Let’s do this! #BEATUAB

Well that's boring. Didn't know fandom had rules.

Ha!  I’d take a boring 7-1 record. 

And...I was not trying to impose rules. Sorry if that’s how I came across. #Beat UAB  #GMG

I think we need to win more. 

We also need a prideful alum base and student body. 

Over time the former will take care of the latter. To expedite, far more can be done in freshmen orientation other than learning the claw and making a giant human UNT in Apogee. I don't know what else. I don't get paid to come up with those ideas, but a lot more could be done to draw that interest. Not to create a midnight yell or anything at all. But something needs to be planned and orchestrated to garner that week to week support of the entire student body. For students, particularly our student body, more has to be done than staking ground level posters around campus and tweeting. Want to get that student section buzzing...make them prideful of what university they belong to and what it means to support their athletic teams. 

The free stuff is cool and all as was done last year. But that's gimmicky and temporary. Same goes with the wrestling stunt this year, gimmicky and temporary. I'm more so referring to acts that will instill tradition and pride.

Needing to move up in the college football hierarchy what do we need to do?

Bowl win

Sellout

Top 25 ranking

4 star recruit

What am I missing?

  -  4* recruit is not necessary to move up.   For the most part, TCU, Louisville, Rutgers, etc... did it without them.

  -  Not just "A" bowl win, but "Multiple" Bowl wins.  We must be in a bowl each & every season, and win most of them.

  -  Sellouts, yes.

  -  Top 25 ranking, yes... and either staying in, or flirting with it each & every season.

In addition: 
  -  Continuing to take advantage of the "opportunity" games VS P5 teams.   I don't expect beatdowns like the one we gave Arkansas, but winning, or playing to a final score of less than 10pts, is a must moving forward.  Nothing says "we belong" more than results on the field.
  -  Coaching consistency.   With continued, sustained success, we know coach Littrell and coordinators/position coaches will be poached.   Backfilling them with coaches who can keep the momentum moving forward will be paramount.

In addition to sustained success on the field...

9,000 more season tickets (let's get to half the building sold in season tickets)

2,800 more MGSF donors (let's get to 5,000 total)

$2.2M more MGSF dollars (let's get to $5M total)

 

I feel like these are the financial numbers that will make us attractive when the conversation about moving up starts.

 - Repair Grey Goose fountain in Athletic Department, or put it on Craigslist.
 - Welfare check on Tina Yothers.
 - Figure out how to get Portland State's USDE/CHEA accreditations revoked so they can no longer be a real thing & we can erase that blip in history.
 - Purchase "pageantry" & bequeath as a gift to Green Brigade.

The formula for college football success is pretty simple.

Go to a bowl 4 out of every 5 seasons.

Win your bowl game 3 out of every 4 bowls.

Win your conference championship once every 5 years.

Rinse, repeat. 3 or 4 cycles and you'll get where you want to go.   Basically what Southern Miss did for 20 years.
