3-2. I think we play both Oregon and Florida better than people may currently expect, but until I see how we develop throughout fall practice and in our early games, I'm hesitant to call either a win. Oregon just has too much speed and can score too quickly.
And Florida's roster (on a whole) is in much better shape than ours. Plus, we've only won twice in the Swamp since the end of the Vietnam War...
As much as I'd like 4-1 or especially 5-0, I'm thinking 3-2.
I'm trying to be as realistic about this season as possible. One of my biggest fears this year is that the fan base is building up CBJ so much, so quickly, that we're giving ourselves false hope of an 8-9 win season, and when/if we end up at 5-7 or 6-6, people are going to freak and turn on him. The higher you lift your expectations, the further you fall and the harder it hurts when you hit the ground when those expectations aren't met. I'm sticking to my guns of a 6-6 year, and will be extremely pleased with 7-5 based on this schedule and our returning talent changing playbooks and schemes (again).
Im with you when we lose 2 or 3 in a row where will the fan base be, got to stand behind the program no matter what where we can keep this top rated recruiting class together these recruits read the paper to need to keep the vibes high no matter what if we get beat by 40 by someone we can make it sound like 14 if we want to got to keep the recruiting class together.
1-4. South Alabama is no joke, people.
Butch gets it, Fade does not....
That is why one is a coach and the other is a so-so Fan.
Fade, jk, I know you are just trying to be realistic negative self so have fun.....but 1-4 get real....not happening....
6-0. After seeing us trounce Oregon by 47 points and Florida by 38, Georgia will call and forfeit the game rather than making the trip.
