So how many games do you guys think we're going to win this year?

[Paul Moscow]

JFC, mentally how are we going to be able to handle this stretch of games (besides KU)?

Nebraska - L
@ KU - W
@ Baylor - L
Oklahoma State - L
Texas - L
@ Missouri - L

I'm predicting six wins by the way...

notta chance in hell we lose to Baylor and OK lite 

Not a chance in hell that we beat both either. We win only one of those games - at most.

Def a better shot at winning both than losing both

Can't believe all you guys are discounting UCLA.....they are 41 in Phil Steele's "power poll" to KSU's 66.

Yeah, pretty big question mark that people are over-looking.  But I think we win.

Still think we beat them at home.  If it was in Pasadena, I would expect another game like last year's.

UCLA - W
Missouri State - W
Farmageddon (KC) - W
UCF - W
Nebraska - L
@ KU - W
@ Baylor - L
Oklahoma State - W
Texas - L
@ Missouri - L
@Colorado - W
@ North Texas - W

If we get 8, I'll be very happy

Got of the phone with Steely Phil, told me that he has the 'Cats underranked this year so that the super insider premium subscribers (cas4ksu) can really know what the fix is for the Cats. He's just underselling them to the rest of the public.

He's not BITB for nothing folks.

i like 7-5.  in typical Snyder fashion we'll likely beat the teams we should and lose close to all the teams better than us.

Might steal UCF or UCLA to win 3 on the year ... probably not though. 

[Dr Rick Daris]

If we find another QB that can keep CC on the bench, 6.  Otherwise, maybe half that.

nobody can be as bad as gregory was last year and they still won six. i'll say six wins regardless of who the qb is.

CC was there last yr and was beat out by a kid with no rotator muscles left.  kinda like a QB special olympics, and CC was still kicked to the pine.  Why, all of a sudden, does CC have to be as good as the guy who took his job from him?

whoever the qb is this year (even coffman) will be better than gregory was last year and suggesting that some other qb on the roster will make a + three game win difference simply by beating out coffman is quite possibly the dumbest thing i've read on here in a while. there is not a qb on the roster that is better than him, more/less that much better. a senior ell roberson isn't coming out of that locker room tardo.

Do not understand this point at all. Coffman lost his spot to a guy who showed up in late August and COULDN'T THROW A FOOTBALL. Coffman 10 may be better than Coffman 09, but I see no reason for optimism at QB (blind hope maybe, but not optimism or even cautiously hopeful realism).

gregory got there in june, not august. he was also a sixth year senior who had pretty much the same amount of time in the new offensive system as coffman did. in games where they both played significant snaps last year, gregory looked worse and was less productive. coffman has a stronger arm and now coffman and the entire offense has another year in the system as well. also, i don't have optimism for him. i think he's not very good. same thing i thought about gregory. still don't see why cats can't six games with him.

[felix rex]

The only way we have a chance with Coffman is if he became more athletic, learned how to run the option and reworked his throwing motion so that his delivery didn't take three-mississippis. No chance on the first one. The second one seems possible. But the third would be tough (but also doable, I suppose, since it involves "coaching up").

I mean, he lost to ULL.

[Sugar Dick]

People are largely overvaluing the strength or our schedule.  None of those teams are going to be world beaters next season.

I say we get 7 wins, 8 if our defense is slightly better than last year, and 9 if its dramatically improved.

Disclaimer:  If Daniel Thomas gets hurt, this prediction is null and void.

Also:  Dick Daris has been pretty much spot on with everything his typed

lol. coffman didn't lose to ULL gregorytard. gregory did. every single gregory posession in that game was an absolute waste. coffman tried to rally, but it was too late. cats win that game if gregory would've just missed the flight. rough ridin' gregorytards. jesus.

[jtksu]

CC's footwork did appear to be improved during the SG.  I think that was a major cause for many of his horrible throws in the flats.  Regardless, he appears to be our best option, so may as we'll get used to it.  Still say 7 wins, plus/minus 1 win.

Our f*cking candy-ass kicker lost our game against ULL.  He missed 3 chip shots in that game

Daris, Gregory played threw four passes against Lafayette.  Coffman threw 25.  ""Every Single Possession" of Gregory's constitutes to about 2.

[jtksu]

Too be fair, Gregory could play an entire half and only throw 4 passes.  Especially in the rain.

[DQ12]

That's true, but seriously, he played no more than 3 possessions against Lafayette.  Unequivocally, Gregory was the better quarterback last year.  As for this year,  who knows who our best quarterback is?  Billy Cosh

I have a friend who still wants a pillowcase with DT's picture on it.  Let me know if I can tell my friend where he can get one.

I have a throw pillow stuffed with Matt Miller's chest hair. Would that do?

Dude, you could make him one at one of those t-shirt places.  Would be awesome to have something to look at while biting the pillow!

gee, thanks dlew. did you know that coffman had to throw all of those passes because gregory wasted a full quarter of the game by sucking ass and leading three drives that accumulated 17 yards and no first downs? nine plays, four incomplete passes, seventeen yards, no first downs. wasted good field position too. gregory was the quarterback of around 25% of the offensive drives that game and he didn't manage to get a first down. that rough ridin' loser cost the cats a bowl game and all you gregorytards can do is just sit around and complain about coffman. give me a break.

[DQ12]

Gregory sucked last year.  Carson sucked worse.

Maybe Carson will be better this year.
