Prediction threads return next week.
:><:
We win 5. I don't care enough anymore to look at the schedule to guess which ones
After the bert, Chad, and Pittman years, I'm not sure I have the give a fucks to attempt a get to know your opponent thread.
Besides, it's uapd and raisinsnacks is dead.
I am at the same point with the Hogs as I am with Dallas, cynical. I will laugh when they lose, because maybe, just maybe people that have hamstrung us will die like Jerry and we will get back to being decent.
nm, I hae no idea what I did
Last year I was a dark sider with some passion. Now I'm so dark side I am apathetic about the whole thing. Which I think is beyond dark sider since I don't give a shit, have zero fucks for this program as long as Silly Putty is the coach.
8-4 because I'm stupid.
6-6 and some shitty bowl. it will be considered a success.
anything less that and some arm twisting could be happening.

Good to see you posting buddy
6-6 b/c the D will keep them in most games but the O-line is still trash due to injuries and they will refuse to bench TG b/c donors paid too much just to get him.
6-6. A two-game improvement against this schedule will feel like more.
I was debating between 5-7 and 6-6 and went with 6-6. If we go 5-7 but we end the season similar to how Petrino's first team did, I'm fine with giving everyone another year to build on it, assuming we wouldn't have a mass exodus. You could see what he was trying to establish here by the end of 2008, and as long as we're doing that and can start winning close games, I'm good. After the last 10+ years I don't think I can be too picky.
I don't see a conference win.
But I'm feeling optimistic so I'll say 4-8.

With NIL, I think a mass exodus is going to be a given every year, regardless of our record

and it will be the same for 90% of the teams out there.
8-4 because I too, am also stupid.
6-6, no idea how

Your stupidity is unmatched. Well, with the exception of me.

We are actually flying to Golden during the game. But, I'll be sure to set the VCR if I can figure out how to fix the blinking time glitch.

Welcome back RB! We've missed you. Hope you've recovered from the 19 countries in 6 days vacation you and Dee took.
8-4 from you isn't stupidity but reflects a more realistic view of the world as you approach your golden years.
Goid to see you amigo!

It was 49 countries in 28 days.
I am really really putting all of my money on Petrino turning Taylen into a Ryan Mallett/Tyler Wilson clone and having our offense resemble his offenses of the early 10's. I'm also betting on TWill's defense. And I'm very glad that Pittman has the opportunity to do more CEO coaching. He did much better with Odom on the staff. Last season was a combo of several things, many of which have been corrected going into 2024.
So, when we're 3-3 to start the season, I'll recant. LOL.

If he pulls off the miracle of turning Green into Mallett,'we won't lose 4 games.
I'm just hoping he can turn him into a serviceable Dick.

Petrino and TW went in together and got Sam a huge set of Tinker Toys and that Costco size ginormous bag of Fritos and tub of bean dip.

It's not sounding like Kutas is going to be healthy until he has some sort of major back surgery and I'm not sold on Harris so I would like to amend this to 4-8. :thumbdown:
