Not to mention beating UCF in the Champ Game at Orlando.

This thread title makes me laugh, because losing cusa is embarrassing and winning means nothing to anyone except to those who fret about not going to a bowl in a long time

Based on what you are saying winning means something because it means you don't lose cusa and as a result you avoid the embarrassment.

Ah that is true, a worthy goal indeed, one I bet JJ has on his dry erase board. Mustangxc, I know you are on the opposition of my views but you must have some concern for next year, right?

I am very concerned based on our recruiting and the loss to Tulane. As long as we win I am happy. You can only beat whoever is on your schedule and Southern Miss was our opponent last night. We cannot control their record so I am not going to pile on the team for beating a winless team. I am still upset that we dropped the game to Tulane because we cannot control their record, but the team should have been ready for that game and clearly they were not. That said, I would like to see us win out and finish the season 9-5 as CUSA champions and champions of whatever bowl we go to.
I know our recruiting class is mediocre at best, but if June Jones finds a way to win with the players he recruits I will be happy. My expectation from here on out is to win more games than we lose. If we keep winning I would like to see June Jones stay on, if we lose more than we win I would like to give someone else the opportunity to lead the team. At the end of the day I am not too worried because I know that we will win whether or not June Jones is our coach.

That seems to be reasonable answer for all of the fans. The only thing about a winning record is that I want us to beat tough competition and I'm not sure JJ and his play book can do that next year with OOC or even conference. Recruiting like you said is horrible with the exception of a few recruits. I don't like that JJ doesn't appreciate the tradition etc, and I can live with that if he can actually win or at least be competitive with Baylors, tech and tcu. Aggues are monsters this season, and after beating Alabama, I'm actually happy we held them so low in scoring for as long as we did (relatively).
For most of my comments, I'm happy with winning, but I want to win in quality fashion because it makes me nervous about the next game.
