10-2
Cotton Bowl vs LSU

[RaginCagin]

Bob, that shows 11-1 with one loss to WV

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

My bad. L to TCU.

OU is the swing game. 10-2 or 9-3 would make me happy.

Yes, I'm buying in. He has a good QB who has yet to really show himself, but will be a redshirt sophmore with the taste of sitting on the sideline all last season in his mouth.

Keep in mind, if Starkle doesn't get hurt in the UCLA game last year that is a very different season. We probably still have Sumlin as a coach and while I don't want to waist too much time speculating I think there would have been 2 more win's if not more. That team get's better with Starkle and this new staff.

I think 8 win's is very do able and have said so. I also think it's possible that this team get's a big early win and some confidence and shake up the SEC West.

Lotta confidence in a QB that had a decent game versus UCLA. Lotta up and downs for young QBs and he's still kinda low on experience..... and then there's the dreaded sophomore slump. Gonna be interesting to see him in a new offense.

I would be impressed if he gets it to 10 in the regular season.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Talent is there. Down year in to conference for QBs. Im tired of losing football and excuses. Time to win.

I don't disagree it's there for the taking.

[krisw]

But last year we had 4 top 25 games at home, schedules shift. Next year it will be back.
Were you buying last year when you played 1 ranked team at home?

Don't yall have about 9 home games every year?

It's also easy to forget how bad Texas was before Mack. Blue blood status has an expiration date...and they were getting REAL close in '05.

What are you talking about? Texas wasn't great for a stretch before Mack, but they won several conference championships. Mackovic won one, he was just terribad before he left. They were nowhere near losing their blue blood status before they won the NC.

I'll weigh in Chad. But first, when talking about employment, Dickey is a new hire and not a new higher. I'm only pointing this out because I have seen it twice. It's probably auto correct on your phone

Back to football. I am going to go with 7-5 in year one with Fisher. I do think they could win 8 with a few bounces in our favor but 7-5 feels right with Clemson and Bama on the schedule in week 2 and week 4. I haven't checked recently but we play one of the tougher schedules in America if I recall. Playing #1 and #2 in the first month of the season probably hasn't happened before. Did yall seen Clemson's front four on defense were all named to the preseason All America list and all projected to be round 1 NFL picks? More so than record, I want to see a team that is competitive and prepared to play week in and out. I am done with getting skull drug on our home turf by middle of the pack SEC teams. We got to take back Kyle Field and re-capture home field advantage so to speak.

We play 7 home games usually, at least we have the last 3 years. Arkansas game is always at a neutral site.

lol, yep. By the time I notice those typo's it's too late to fix them.

They should win 5 minimum at home if things go good, if things go really good, 6.

If Clemson is firing on all cylinders, I doubt that one has a high probability of ending up in the Win column. But, they suit up to play the game, so....

Several young staffs and new staffs on that schedule. It's a tough prediction for me. I could see 6-6 or 9-4

I'm not seeing the toughness you speak of. No UGA or Florida. NW State, ULM and UAB...…..
