It depends on who you're talking to. A significant portion of our fan base has already chugged the "Atlanta or Bust" Kool Aid and will accept nothing less than an outright SEC West title. The other camp, as one would expect, is looking in the complete opposite direction with prognostications of four or five loss seasons and another early December spent in Oxford. I'd say both camps are justified in their attitudes. While this is the greatest chance we've ever had at representing the West in Atlanta, we are Ole Miss. Remember, it wasn't but two seasons ago when Ed Orgeron was "coaching" his teams to thrilling "victories" over Louisiana Tech and Northwestern State.
As always, there are some fans who are talking undefeated seasons. A few of those fans seem a little more reasonable now, but most fans are realistic. Our fans will be happy with nine or ten regular season wins. Less than that, and they're pissed. More, and Nutt gets another contract extension and a raise. We actually wrote an article that was picked up by CBSSports.about this situation.
