June Jones Fun Fact

[WildBillPony]

Bennett nearly got us a bowl.

When we fired him the "but he's a good Christian man!" Crowd said he couldn't recruit under our restrictions. I am going to say if Bennett worked with the recruiting rules Jones has we would have made more bowls.

Actually, from what I've seen so far this season, it appears Bennett recruited better players than June.

Can't believe there are fans here who are content with .500 seasons.

I don't think that is true on the whole, but he seems to have actually been better at spotting the underrated player.

Actually, most of the big Bennett successes have been offensive. Was Rusty Burns doing the whole O recruiting? Statistically his offense was better than June's

3 bowl games and 2 bowl wins after 20 years of crap ain't too bad folks.

Yes it is. These days it only means you're a Top 60 team.
Plus we lost at home to 6-6 Army.
$2mil per was not supposed to buy mediocrity.

+1

Is there really that big of a difference between 500 and what we've done the last 20 years?

No. And it doesn't make me feel better to go to some bcs bowl. I want a team people besides the damn alumni give half a crap about. I want to see us on the right track and not just completely stagnant.

We got slaughtered by a&m, tech under Bennett. Are we better off? Guess we'll see if we can be the tallest of the midgets starting saturday

Throw out first year. June Jones is 21-20 against Division 1A programs.

That's what 2 mil a year gets... WOW

From the other current threads:

I understand your frustration Samuari Stang but let's face it we need the schedule to be for manufactured wins so we can have the best chance to get to 6-6 or 7-5. We are not recruiting and coaching well enough to play an OOC like we played this year. We are not that type of team. We just need to embrace who we currently are and figure out a way to make the team and coaches look good and get to bowl game. The sooner everyone accepts that and embraces it the better off we will be.

Three battles lost but the war is not over. We've got 8 more chances to win 5. See you at the Sun Bowl.

People here who think the minimum expectation is a crap bowl game. You can reach that and be .500.

This is sad. I expected better after 5 years. I'm depressed.
