How's Your Team Gonna Be This Year??

[Jewel27]

I remember this from last year and thought it was a great idea, so i thought id start it up again....Well ill start with Iowa since thats where im going this fall and then ill discuss rutgers...

IOWA

vs. Maine W
vs. Florida International W
vs. Iowa State W/L (cuz of the rivalry)
@ Pittsburgh L
vs. Northwestern W
@ Michigan State W/L
@ Indiana W (But beat us last year)
vs. Wisconsin L
@ Illinois W/L (Never Know with Juice)
vs. Penn State L
vs. Purdue W/L
@ Minnesota W

Looks at best a 9-3 season, maybe get the Fire Ferentz rumors out of Iowa City. At worst the record will be 5-7. I believe a large part of the success will if former 5 star QB Jake Christensen finally puts it together this year after a rough 2 first years. A bad record will send Kirk Ferentz packing. They need to clean things up @ Iowa, after all the off field problems with the football team have sent much of the top recruits out.

Now Rutgers....

vs. Fresno State W/L (Should Be A Cagematch)
vs. North Carolina W/L (Another Good Team)
@ Navy W
vs. Morgan State W
@ West Virginia L (No More Ray)
@ Cincinnati W/L (Always Tough)
vs. Connecticut W/L
@ Pittsburgh W/L
vs. Syracuse W
@ South Florida W (Over Rated...Period)
vs. Army W
vs. Louisville W/L

Best can be 11-1 and worst can be 5-7. A large part of the success will be whether or not they can adjust to passing it more this year after losing Ray Rice. They have 2 stud receivers returning this year and will probably be a lot more spread offense this year. Hopefully the can adjust early since game 1 is against #25 Fresno State.

Now its your turn lol....

Army:

vs. Temple: L (First game with The 'Bone, no reason to believe they won't struggle.)
vs. New Hampshire: W (The defense still sucks, but I think that the offense finally gets going.)
vs. Akron: W (A nail-biting overtime win, with the defense finally showing up in a tight one.)
@ Texas A&M L (We get our asses absolutely smacked down in Kyle Field, even if A&M's not that strong.)
@ Tulane L (Well, there goes that hope for a good season. We never play that well in 'Nawlins.)
vs. Eastern Michigan W (Homecoming. October Saturdays are usually good for Army.)
@ Buffalo L (I know, it's Buffalo. But god, we suck. I can't have the team winning too much.)
vs. Louisiana Tech L (I know nothing about this team, so chances are we lose.)
vs. Air Force L (We can't beat service academies. 'Nuff said. Wish we could win, but..)
@ Rice L (I remember two years ago. We got our asses kicked in the rain. Worst day I've spent there.)
@ Rutgers L (The fella above me got this one right. Even without Ray Rice, they don't suck. We do.)
Navy L (Yeah. Maybe next year...)

Here's your short analysis. We suck. This was the easiest schedule possible, and we screwed it up massively. Even with the Wishbone (OMG WE'RE RUNNING THE WISHBONE!) we're still Army. I really have no hope for this year. I've had no hope for this team for a long, long while. We go 3-9, but I'm just happy we won 3 at home instead of one. More happy for me.

[ChisAto]

8-4.

[Sportsbuck]

13-0 & National Champs if everything goes according to plan and we don't play an SEC team.

Dude, don't you read the boards? We're gonna be 0-54. I know we play just 12 games but apparently we suck. And bad, too!

I think Paul Mcintosh will be a sleeper at QB hes a badass and with the wishbone gives him the freedom to be himself.

You being sarcastic about the SEC team? OSU could give Florida (Georgia's schedule is way too brutal) a run for it's money in the title game if it gets past USC.

Who? Seriously, never heard of him. But you bring up a strong concern of mine. We have no option quarterbacks! Carson Williams is not a bad QB but he is not fit for the Wishbone. The QB situation is a mess -- we've even considered putting Carlos Sandiego, a receiver-returner last year, into the spot.

EDIT: By the way, he's not on the team roster either. Just saying.

[Chief Bstn]

You're guessing is inconsistant, usma, and therefor you forfeit.

[Just Blaze]

I think USF will go 9-3

Just as inconsistant as Army is. Honestly, every game's a toss-up (except Rutgers, A&M, and Navy) so instead of going that route I just guessed which would be wins and which would be losses.

Paul Mcintosh is your top QB recruit. He was Indiana's top QB last season and hes a dual threat QB.

If you say so . I don't follow the recruiting trail. I have no reason to. Don't see him getting much PT this year though. Tough for plebes to stand out at West Point.

[Chief Bstn]

UNH:

9-2 regular season, with losses to Army and UMass

BC:
In all honesty, 4-8 or 5-7. Their ACC schedule is pretty strong.

Hopefully, they do 8-4 or 7-5, but it's unlikely.

[I am a huge CUNT]

Basketballboy, Iowa is going to suck, and they are going to suck badly. Ferentz needs to be fired right now. Your program is going down the toilet.

@ California W/L
Eastern Michigan W
Florida Atlantic W (this game scares me)
Notre Dame W
@ Indiana W
Iowa W
@ Northwestern W (scary game)
Ohio State L
@ Michigan W
Wisconsin L
Purdue W
@ Penn State L

8-4 is going to be my guess. Simply because Iowa is a mess, and since we never lost by more than 7 last year. I think we win the games we should, and I think our good win this year is Michigan or Cal. We lost to Wisconsin in OT last year, so we can win there and the last time they were at Spartan Stadium they were undefeated and got hammered 49-14. We beat Purdue last year. Notre Dame still sucks. FAU and Northwestern scare me. FAU could be a trap game, but when I look at their stats from last year, I feel better about it. Northwestern, beat us last year in OT, but some questionable play calling cost us. Penn State, well, we just suck in Happy Valley. Haven't won there in forever. Michigan, all I can say is it's put up or shut up time for us.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. I don't think anyone will beat us this year especially if what I'm hearing about the offense is true. I think that this team will go down as the GOAT at Ohio State..

Well, we did beat you last year, and we do return almost everybody from a young team last year...we had wisconsin beat until late last year, so we i dont think we can be any worse than last year

Also at home. Not only that, but your program was not nearly as bad as it is now.

[sep]

Iowa worst case 5-7?

Lol.. your in for a surprise.

Georgia: 13-1, SEC and National Champions.

[Sportsbuck]

They don't play Ohio State or Michigan so a 5-7 worst case is certainly possible.

Note for Chis: Why does everyone think Morgan Trent is so good? I didn't see anything in 07 to show that he was anything other than mediocre like in 06.
