8 wins
« on: October 13, 2011, 06:04:27 PM »
If we win on Saturday would a 8 win regular season be a huge letdown?  I know what the seasons expectations were but if we finish 1-4 to end the season I would be crushed :frown: .  Maybe I'm just being greedy. Thoughts?

An 8 win season is an accomplishment no matter how you cut it.  Ideally, winning one or two of those "tough four" would be nice, but anyone "let down" with going 0-4 in our four hardest games of the season is probably getting a bit too caught up in the hype.  

If you want to look ahead, 2012 is the season where 8 wins is maybe a let down.  2011?  This is gravy baby.  This is gravy.

Mack is pretty horrible. Without VY, they are very average.

Just imagine if we had a north and south division this year.  We would be dominant.   :emawkid:

8 or 9 regular season wins would be quite an accomplishment with this yrs schedule.  If we can just get a solid safety to replace Tsyyyn next year, we could be pretty darn good.  (Pretty sure Tilman or that new juco commit can fill Kibble's shoes.)

OB already has his Mackschemes for the next 4 years laid out.  Kinda like how a little kid lays out his clothes the night before school.

When I sit back and think about it, I think we would be Nubb this year.  Guess my first instinct was just the result of the ass beatings  they've handed us the last few years.

I'm disappointed in every single Cats loss, no matter who it's too. I don't understand how anybody can say with a straight face that they wouldn't be at all disappointed in losing four straight games, regardless of who we are playing in those games. I expect to win at least one of those four.

it hasn't sunk in that we have 5 already..and we only had 7 last year after going to a bowl. fwiw.

we should at least beat KU and ISU...go to a bowl and win......so 8 wins right now is what we should expect and anything over that would be an improvement.

So, that leaves A&M at home, and Texas....winnable but coin flips as far as I'm concerned...

I've written off Ostate and OU but lets annoy this shazbot out of Stoops....

If we win tomorrow, I'd want to get at least nine wins in the regular season.  If you can successfully weather the offenses we've seen at home and on the road, and still won, I'd hate to think we couldn't beat KU on the road, ISU at home, and at least @UT or A&M at home.

I still don't think we can hang with OU or OSU, but Baylor actually averages more yards per play than either of them, so you never know.

Yeah. Losing four in a row always sucks. I don't care if we were playing 4 consecutive time travel road games at the 72 dolphins, 85 bears, 95 huskers, and 07 jayhawks. I would still be sad.

I would be disappointed to lose to the 07 jayhawks with this year's team.

If the cats beat TT, Scheme, MD should focus everything on ATM.

I think we will rollover for Stoops so that when he brings his brother on board, we can take Venzie for the HCIW job.
