Lose to Oklahoma, Air Force and UCF - which very well may happen - and people aren't going to be that impressed even if we win each CUSA game by three touchdowns. It's still going to be, "Yeah but look at what happened at the beginning of the season…". They did the same thing last year. Nobody forgot the Buffalo game, to say nothing of Navy or Wisconsin.
At this point, let's just get a win this Saturday and go from there.

You guys are right on the money. Back when App. State beat Michigan that game haunted UM all season. To steal a quote from Superbad "People don't forget". Even if we do end up getting our stuff together and steam roll the conference it is still just CUSA, and the conversation will always return to "but man they got waxed by Oklahoma".

Keeping things in perspective as a fan is tough to do. We had a lot of hype and our fans want to think we are a top 10 team. We're not.
Here is some perspective for all FAU fans however - 18 months ago Middle Tennessee could have scored 90 points against us with a WR playing QB.
Take it game by game and dont assume we are going to win anything.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Also keeping it in perspective, in 2015 we took a #8 UF team to overtime in a season where we won 3 games. There is lots of football ahead of us. One game at a time.

Still kicking myself for not going up to that game! I had tickets in hand and was working up in tarpon springs but decided I didn't want to drive up to Gainesville for half a game in the rain.
