Realistic seasonal expectations....

[innocentbystander]

Bowl game aside. I know I don't have every possible combination, but I got some of them. I'd like some serious guesses as to where you see the season, and I refuse to consider any other options that don't include wins over Maine and Army.

[hansen]

10-2

[Bumpers]

Here are my seasonal predictions:

Weatherwise, I rather expect the spring to continue to be unusually warm, though wetter than normal, the summer to be blistering (to dry up all that extra moisture!), the fall to be very placid, stiking boredome to the very core of my soul moving me to go apple picking on Saturdays with nothing better to do, and the winter to be long and cold, colder than last year, anyways.

As for allergies, I think the mold allergies will ebb well into the summer given the lack of any real winter freeze and the gentle and wet spring. Hopefully the blistering summer will dry that up by the middle of August. Pollen won't be too bad, though. Look out for the Hay Fever, though! The fall will give way to an early freeze this year, so relief is in sight!

Duck hunting looks fair to midland if you are using shot as opposed to ball, but dress accordingly, and bring your Flonase as indicated above.

The deer will be out on force, so ENJOY there!

its apple picking time

Based on last year's results, the losses from that team and lack of additions to replace them I think you are awfully presumptuous to assume victories over Maine and Army.

I would predict you lose to one of those teams.

[pick6pedro]

Are the players a year older? Do they know how to win? 13-0.

Wait, no Rich Gunnell? 1-11.

[innocentbystander]

Let me clue you in on something.

Not counting kickers, F$U has more returning starters than any team in the ACC at 18. They are stacked. They are thinking beyond the Orange Bowl. Much to their chagrin they wont be BCS bowling, but they are stacked.

BC returns 17. I think the staff can replace 5. (By the by, my pick for the first ACC team to play in the MNC since BC joined it, returns 16.)

I have no memory of any BC football team in the entire history of BC football, where so many of the players who will be starting this year were starters last year. If 17 returning starters (10 of which are on offense) is a rebuilding year, then every fucking year is a rebuilding year with

[twballgame9]

Unfortunately, I think the defense will suffer some injuries and the OLine will not be improved. I am still an optimist = 5-7

So the starters in the secondary that sucked but are coming back is a good thing. Got it, you're full on retard.

i am also cautiously optomistic. i'm a BC fan, so I suppose I am tapping into that fanaticism to the point of being irrational. everything depends on the first 3 games. Going 3-0 means (to me) 6-6 at the very worst. Go 1-2, and at best 5-7 and fires another offensive coordinator

I think they lose at Northwestern but hold serve at home. 2-1 turns into 6-6.

[EagleDave]

I think IB is trying to singlehandedly jump start 10-2 season again.

if I thought for a second that there was a chance (even a slim chance) at 10-2, I would say 10-2.

I'm saying 6-6. from where we have fallen, that IS optomism

I think the word you're looking for is "optometry."

[NJM89]

They will go 7-5 which sucks because spaz is a bitch and I don't want him near this program if he comes back after making it to a (toilet)bowl game

[hansen]

the lack of depth on this team is scary especially in the secondary... i'll say 4-8 although this team is one injury away from 2-10

[TontoKowalski]

3-9. I really think it'll be 2-10, but I'm usually too pessimistic by one game. Don't ask who we'll beat because it doesn't matter. Spaz has run out of players who were coached by people other than him, and the full suckitude of his coaching will, sadly, be on display in every phase of the game.

[tailgater94]

It doesn't matter who the players are, it matters who the coach is. And our coach has gone

YEAR W L T PCT PF PA
2011 4 8 0 0.333 218 282
2010 7 6 0 0.538 240 254
2009 8 5 0 0.615 322 257

I think its more reasonable to expect the downward trend to not just continue, but to accelerate. So 2-10 seems like a realistic expectation. We lost to Duke at home last year, so we could lose to pretty much anyone.

FIRE SPAZ

[rktbrkr]

Likely wins in order of likeliness:MA,MD and Army.

Should get past MA without depth problems at RB,DL and DB affecting results but from depth problems could lead to real embarassment on the field. If OL doesn't improve Rettig will get hurt and it will be impossible wto watch games after that. Bordner is a 1 trick pony and everybody has seen the trick now.

[mod6A]

6 and 6 is the new 10 and 2.

this is going to be the worst potato season in a long time.

I'm on board with this, though if they manage to beat Miami it might actually jump to 6-6...

A miracle 6-6 finish with a shitty bowl game is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to this program this year. This is the nightmare.

[claver2010]

Agreed, 6-6 would give the excuse to bring back might as well bottom out, suffer for the next 5 months and focus on the next HC search where hopefully gene has zero say

[DavidGordonsFoot]

As for allergies, I think the mold allergies will ebb well into the summer given the lack of any real winter freeze and the gentle and wet spring.

I miss campion's prednisone-induced mania during mold allergy season.

[BCdee]

Are the players a year older? Do they know how to win? 13-0.

Wait, no Rich Gunnell? 1-11.

This made me laugh!

Why does IB have a that pic as his signature? Gross.

He lost a bet to angrychicken on the NBA Playoffs. The thread is on MA's.

I assumed that he finally admitted his molestation with his psychologist and is acting on the advice given as a result of that admission. He's finally embracing what God made him.
