+1. You can say the same about Earl Bruce who was 81-26-1 at Ohio State. Right?

9-4 is not a good record unless you're Michigan now.

Elite programs, that is not good. I want 9-4 to be our worst season of the decade, and happen only once or so.

Are we spoiled? Yes.

At least you said it. ... spoiled!

I'll take 9-4, winning bowl game, beating your rival, and having a heisman winner. Of course I want a better record and titles but I will not classify that as not a good or successful season.

You're one of the few then. 9-4 for any program that wants to be elite won't cut it. Period. That 9-4 team you keep talking about was a HUGE disappointment. No other way to look at it.

Absolutely.

So is dropping msu from the schedule in 2016 and adding western Kentucky making the schedule more or less difficult?

Either way, it's not hard to imagine Jim Tressel telling a sideline reporter the Hilltoppers are a 'good football team.'
