I copied this from the Mizzou board as this applies a lot to us as well (did not edit original post as you can tell)
------------------------------------------------------------
Went through a coaching change
Played a season in front of almost no fans
Were 2 games under .500
Never played a home game in front of a sold out stadium
Are now 8-2 playing in front of what is likely to be their fifth consecutive sellout with an opportunity to be a top 10 team headed to a New Year's Six bowl game.
A class's legacy is always determined by what comes after them (Brad Smith's legacy was enhanced by what Chase Daniel did for example). And there have been some really special senior classes at Missouri. If they finish this out the right way, guys like Kris Abrams-Draine, Ennis Rakestraw, Javon Foster, Darius Robinson, etc, should be remembered right alongside the best of any of those classes. The goal of any player is to leave a program better than he found it. Few groups have been a part of as much improvement in that regard as this one.
