Expectations?

[ChicagoCat]

The Auburn game is going to tell a lot.  I'm not necessarily asking for a win but I want to see a really good showing. The reason my expectations are higher is that I really like Prince and think he has what it takes to get it done, even with subpar talent (which I don't know if we necessarily have that this year).  It all depends on how the lines perform.  If the o-line and d-line can get it done, or at minimum the o-line, I think we'll be sitting pretty good. 

I think we have a shot against Auburn only because they will have little idea of what we will do.  They will have to be prepared for ridiculous trick play calls at any time and with their offense not being amazing, if a couple work then we could have a shot.  I think we will have at least a good showing there and a too close for comfort against san jose.  I expect a rollercoaster season but slightly less than last year, hopefully leading to consistency in the next two.

I hear Prince is secretly consulting with Jack Hartman to institute the "four corners" offense.

I mean, jeezus, they stood up to the mighty Bill Callahan and came away winners.  If anyone could beat Auburn it would have been "Big Game" Billy!  If they can win against his masterful play calling and midgame adjustments there is no way they lose to the Wildcats. 

-Nice play calling moron.  This is firt day stuff we're covering here.

This brings me to my question. What are your expectations for Prince?

Don't listen to these renegades.  Our expectation, as clearly defined by our leadership, is to consistently compete for championships.  Unless you're Prince, of course, who is actually nothing but a temp.

We need to go 4-4 this year in big 12 play, we need to win at least 1 north title within 5 years.

A carp would be really tough to throw and catch, but it would make the game really interesting.  And PETA would not like it at all.

[WildCatzPhreak]

Those carp are slippery bastards.  It's our way of cutting down on SoulGlo's INT numbers, by making the ball harder to catch for opposing defenses.

Our receivers gloves are laced with fishhooks though, so we're good.

Plus in the image it looks like Josh is handling at least a 15-20 lber.  The bigger fish would allow us to highlight his freakish nature.

I know he just made a spelling error, but that's still funny as hell.

J-Mart with a nice zinger...

Q Jeff - I don't know about Kyle Boller, but I've seen Josh Freeman throw a football 60 yards as well.....standing on HIS HEAD! If you don't believe me, just ask Kevin Lopina, Allan Evridge, Allen Webb, and Dylan Meier.

Fantastic.  Which of you was trying to bait him to plug the website?

I hear Prince is secretly consulting with Jack Hartman to institute the "four corners" offense.

OT but thought I'd tell you that JH instituted the full court press and ran the fast break before anyone else, he just needed the athletes to do it and those were rare to accumulate.  The pop-guns were the exception.  So whatever perceptions you have about his coaching are incorrect.  And of course he's dead.   

As for expectations of Prince, I have very few at this point, he needs the six years IMO before we should have any.  Hopefully he can get another winning record this year and have the team play with more consistancy to keep the impatient fans at bay and ensure his ability to recruit.

Are you perceptions that Jack would not know how to teach the "four corners".  I obviously perceive him to be a much better coach than you
