If Athlon's prediction is correct and the Flashes finish 4-4 in the MAC and 6-6 for the season, how do you think Coach Haynes' first year will be perceived? Personally, I will be disappointed with a third place finish in the MAC East. Certainly a 6-6 record is better than a losing one but will that be enough to satisfy most Flash fans? What record would be necessary to maintain a forward momentum? Last year's team has become a source of great pride, enjoying its best season in school history. But it seems to me much still needs to be accomplished to ensure that our current momentum is carried into the future. I just don't believe 6-6 will accomplish much for the program regardless of how difficult the schedule is perceived. It seems to me if the Flashes can finish 7-4, that should be enough to maintain a forward momentum. What say you?
