Could be the year the program crests above .500 all time. The question is has the program under Frank peaked? I keep wondering if 2011 was our year to win the MAC but we collapsed in the second half of the championship game. With the experience of Tettelton I do think its going to be another good year and probably be a lot to handle in a bowl game for an opponent but he's the best QB we've ever had. This is Frank's 9th year. Longest tenure in the MAC and one of the longest among non-BCS coaches (Nevada and Troy are longer). Its hard seeing this program at this point turn the corner like Boise State if it hasn't already.

It's possible, but I would like to think we have not. While they have had numerous other coaches in the same time we have had Frank, NIU was on the cusp how many times before they finally broke down the wall to a MACC, and then won it two years in a row. Last year we were served several steamy, heaping scoops of bad luck in terms of injury that hopefully we can avoid this year.

Looking at our schedule it seems to me that there is going to be a critical stretch of games that will define the season, starting on October 26th at home against the Redchickens, two on the road against Beefs and BG, and home against Can't. If we go 2-2 we will have to watch scoreboards. 3-1 or 4-0 and we should be in the East's driver's seat for the MAC Championship Game. On paper there is not a team that is the obvious class of our division going in to next year and there should be a lot of parity, with the champ probably having at least 2 conference losses.
