2007 Football, Team Predictions

[Brutalis]

I've done this elsewhere and it was a hit so I'll try it here. This is how it goes:

You post your fav teams schedule, and aside it put either the score or just W L. Others may reply to your team, or same fav team, and put their own predictions. In other words I will post Arkansas', and most likely reply to UT and ATM ones as well. Then if I can remember to, a month or less before the season starts, we go back and reply to the thread if we are making any changes to our preds. I for one usually always put the Hogs prediction in my sig.

I'm one of those ready for the god damn football season to start and this helps an itch.

[Thunder Dan]

Ohio State (we have a easy schedule this year)

Youngstown State W
Akron W
at Washington W
Northwestern W
at Minnesota W
at Purdue W
Kent State W
Michigan St. W
at Penn St. L
Wisconsin W
Illinois W
at Michigan W (if Llllloyd coaches we win becuase they will coke)


Bowl Game: BCS or Capitol One Bowl


We have a easy schedule. It's a good schedule for a new QB. We will have to win with defense, which gets almost everyone back. Anyone who says we have a easy schedule can blow me; we just had 2 games vs. Texas and go to USC in week 2 next year. Also, OSU doesn't take bye weeks (Kent State game)

[Holmes_Fans]

GAME 1 Arkansas State W, nice game to get everyone on the team some reps
GAME 2 TCU W, if the secondary doesn't come around I can see a L on this one
GAME 4 Rice W, I will feel paying off rices athletic budget
GAME 5 Kansas State W, KSU will be sorry they hurt colt last year
GAME 6 Oklahoma W, whoever they put in at QB will wish he went to SHSU with Bomar
GAME 7 Iowa State W, maybe a few years ago they could of won, not now
GAME 8 Baylor W, baylor....
GAME 9 Nebraska W, they had their chance last year, @ nebraska in the snow, colts first ever game outside texas
GAME 10 Oklahoma State W, another game I could see being a L, Bobby Reid = beast
GAME 11 Texas Tech W, Tech had their chance last year and blew it
GAME 12 Texas A&M W, unless we are riddled with injuries again, no way Texas loses, the team I think realizes they aren't invincible now

The only game I see them having a chance of losing is OSU, and TCU if the secondary hasn't come around by then.

Man, we have so many questions going into this season it could either be great or a semi-bust like last season. If the O Line solidifies and protects, the D Line puts pressure and helps out the secondary, the damn running backs actually hold onto the ball, and stay relatively injury free then the main hurdles will be OSU and Nebraska. TCU has to step into the prime time game in DKR at the beginning of the season and will be overwhelmed IMO.

[StylisticS]

For the Horns. I think we can make it 3 in a row over ou. But that Oklahoma State game scares the shit out of me. We've beaten them 9 years in a row and this game is in Stillwater this year. This maybe their best chance. If they don't win it this year, it could be a while before they ever beat UT.

TCU is a good team. We win that game, gives confidence for the rest of the season. If we beat them and leave OU still unbeaten, we have a chance to do 2 in 3 years.

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The O-line is always solid.....that should never be a worry in this era anymore.

The Dline??? Shitting me? The dline cups the secondary's scrot in every season, it's the secondary helping the dline that we have to worry about, our secondary is so fuckign pitiful, especially with 1 secondary player per week going jailberg and getting kicked off the team...


You're right about TCU though....unless the UT fans continue their trend and cheer 40% softer than they did the preceeding year like they have for the last 5 years.

[BeerIsGood!]

you can't see a loss to A&M?

Calm down buddy, just because I don't think they'll lose to AM two years in a row, especially if they enter the game healthy, doesn't mean I think it's a lock. Every top 20 team is going to have a shot at the title but most will stumble along the way, and mostly to lesser teams. Nobody is a lock.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I swear to god if Greg Davis was not the most notorious douche of a "premiere" college football offensive coordinator I would be like JGW is with A&M, but not USC.

His USC homerism delves into the deep anal fissure acquired during the 2006 chode bloadation.

Trolling sports forums during all hours of the night looking for any percieved disrepect towards his idols of choice seem to be standard fare for JGW.

The D line underachieved in pass rushing last year IMO, and the reason I said hopefully they can help out the secondary is because my faith in the secondary to cover anyone for more than a couple of seconds is shot. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong, but I think the D Line is more capable of stepping up the rush than the secondary is of locking down anyone. If, and that's a big IF, the secondary shows up to play ball and not just puff blunts and pop off rounds after games... the D should be vicious.

thats great buddy. t.u. has as much a chance at the national title as A&M does this year...and its not a much. not only will A&M beat t.u. they'll do it in fashion, running for more than 250 yards on that crap run defense.

Mookie told me (and later I confirmed this via personal interviews) is that the D-line is not supposed to "pass rush" in the conventional or NCAA PS3 game sense of the word. That's not their job. Let me regress for a second.


Using the Gene Chizik method, the Dline's primary job is to stop the run. If they can, sack the quarterback and prevent the pass. But, according to the Gene philosophy, the run is essential to stop for the secondary to do its work.

We may be coming from different corners. I started really analyzing college football from a "what the fuck are they trying to do" aspect ironically in the 2005-6 season. Gene Chizik's dline is supposed to stop the run and if they're lucky hassle the QB for a pass. The soft zone blitzing schemes in the linebacker/secondary units are supposed to handle the passing.

I do not know whether or not Duane Akina will continue this philosophy or not, but because I only started hardcore analyzing what it is we do when Gene was top defensive dawg, I am stating these opinions of mine because what Gene did won us a perfect record.

Think about last year, the run stoppage was there. The linebackers were there in the run D. But the linebackers were too slow for our zones and our Secondary was a total abomination. It sucked the most ass since before I can remember.

so whats the game plan against A&M this year? lets see...

1. t.u. can't stop our run
2. the energy will be with the Aggs
3. A&M will control the clock

...you're going to have to put up some points in a seriously efficient offense.

from what i have heard on 1300 the zone, expect more blitzes this next year.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I have no idea

my primary reason behind the confidence I had going into last year's A&M game was that we'd stop ya'lls run and own you with the total score.

I expected one or two big plays given up to ya'lls up and comer lightening quick back. But I expected our Dline and linebackers to be MUCH more physical with Jarvorrrksskvvskvksie.
It didn't happen, plus the secondary was so busy jacking off on every play that they didn't even stop the few passes ya'll threw.

So it'll be tough, but its possible for UT to win this one. The key, as you alluded to, is going to be for Colt to put on a passing clinic against yalls nickle D, which will be a little more difficult if Jordan Shipley stays injured throughout this next year, which seems more and more likely by the day.

sure, its possible t.u. could win. but McCoy will have to play very very well for the t.u. t-sips to win. frankly, i don't see it. A&M is tired of being pushed around and this series has gone in waves....its our turn to put together a few wins. say what you want about recruits and all that, but i don't have a lot of respect for your coaching staff and as long as McGee, Lane, Bennett, and Goodson are on the field...we can beat t.u.'s ass any time.

i am confident b/c thats back2back years t.u. has shown the inability to handle McGee and the new A&M attack. and this year...its only going to be worse for you. keep overlooking the Aggs, you t-sip fucks....we're going to run roughshod over you assholes again.

my favorite part of all this, the perceived greatness so many of you t-sips have...then watching, in joy, as it all falls apart. good luck you pretentious shits...

That's pretty interesting. I knew that Chizik put a big emphasis on stopping the run with the front four by teaching the D-Line to stay at home and play down the line, but it's a lot to ask of the LB to put pressure on the QB, plug the running gaps, and cover the underneath routes. Usually you want your interior linemen to get penetration, eat blockers, and basically move the line of scrimmage backwards while your ends contain the outside on a route to the QB. I don't know exactly what their schemes were last year, but it did seem like the ends were playing contain a lot more on drops than rushing to put pressure on the QB. Unless you're reading screen, I'm not sure I like that approach. Like you stated, I'm not sure what Akina will keep and what he'll change, but to me it's no coincidence that QB's had all sorts of open lanes and time to throw against us last season. Hell, we made K-State's QB look like Montana.

I'm not sure if blitzes are the answer either. Sure, if you mix in a good variety you can keep an offense guessing, but relying on them heavily to put pressure on the QB is asking for trouble.

Also, do you think Chiles is going to redshirt, or do you think he'll play and be used more as a combo-back or slot receiver and in specialty situation from the gun?

[leemajors]

good luck you pretentious shits...
oh, the irony.

the guy wants to play QB and i've heard he is going to redshirt, which sucks asshole but at least we got Sherrod to keep the defense on their heels.

[johngateswhiteley]

oh, the irony.

there isn't any. A&M has struggled, now its their turn. if you're talking about my SC thoughts (?)....well, that football program, my friend, truly is greatness.

[leemajors]

a&m is still frantastic.

[johngateswhiteley]

a&m is still frantastic.

what does that say about the t.u. t-sips last year, then?

[leemajors]

what does that say about the t.u. t-sips last year, then?
it means a&m should have won the game handily, and couldn't. and the irony lies in the most pretentious, condescending poster on this board calling UT fans pretentious.

[leemajors]

but anyways, i'm fresh out of lagunitas IPA and my daughter likes to wake up around 10. late

[johngateswhiteley]

and the irony lies in the most pretentious, condescending poster on this board calling UT fans pretentious.

who's that? lemme at 'em... :ihit ...darn t-sips. anyway, i wasn't aware A&M should have won the game by double digits in Austin.

you're damned right we are.

...you're going to have to put up some points in a seriously efficient offense.
Quit acting like A&M won 30-7, A&M scored 12 points on a very overrated(I said that all last year) defense. If Colt isn't hurt then Texas rolls to scoring 30+ points

Of course A&M will have more energy, this is the only game of the season that matters for them. I think Texas will start to take it more seriously though, the players realize they aren't invincible and it is possible to lose 2 games in a row.


huh? A&M will be better than last year, and the game is in College Station. yet, you can't see them (t.u.) having a chance at losing?

....ladies and gentlemen, a crazy t.u. fan.
You act like nut grabbing and jizz jarring makes the stadium hard to play in, there is a reason A&M has dropped from most top 10 hardest stadiums to play list.

[Brutalis]

still bitter about getting ass raped? or is this a gut feeling?

I was never bitter. I'm actually glad the score from two games was like 120-shit. USC did for Arkansas' fans what we could, and that's get Nutt on a national spotlight to where all of college ball could see his mediocrity. I went with the pick cause of my gut though.

Tell me the status of Demon Williams, and is Mitch going to get any PT?

[StylisticS]

national title? ....bwahahahaha. LMFAO...good one. good one...

I'm sure you was one of the many aggies that said the same in the offseason after the 2004-05 season. Yes...Texas has a shot at the title if they leave the OU game undefeated. Because that will give them confidence and momentum headed into the 2nd half of the season. Enjoy your annual place at 3rd or 4th place in the south while Texas and ou plays for the rights of who will represent the south in the Big 12 Championship once again.

[johngateswhiteley]

Tell me the status of Demon Williams, and is Mitch going to get any PT?

Damian Williams?...you mean. not sure really...he transferred last year right? so i guess he is eligible for this year then, but i haven't really heard much about him. KewlKat may know...she's a bit more in tune with all the info than i.


as for Mustain, obviously he has to sit out 2007 so he wont get any PT. Booty is in his final year, and from what i've read Sanchez was doing pretty well in Spring ball so i am not sure if Mustain will even get that much PT in 2008. but...thats up to the players, we'll see. my guess is he and Sanchez battle it out in 2009 and Mitch may even have to wait to play until Sanchez is gone. good thing is Mustain will still have 3 years of eligibility after 2007.

...SC QB situation is looking good. Booty then Sanchez then Mustain...not bad.

no, t.u. does not have a legit shot at the title this year. hell, you won't even win the big 12.

[StylisticS]

no, t.u. does not have a legit shot at the title this year. hell, you won't even win the big 12.
Neither will you. It will be Texas or OU from the south vs Nebraska or Missouri from the north. You, don't have a chance. Again, if Texas leaves the OU game without a loss on their record, they have a legit shot whether you like it or not.

Booty is in his final year, and from what i've read Sanchez was doing pretty well in Spring ball so i am not sure if Mustain will even get that much PT in 2008. but...thats up to the players, we'll see. my guess is he and Sanchez battle it out in 2009 and Mitch may even have to wait to play until Sanchez is gone. good thing is Mustain will still have 3 years of eligibility after 2007.

...SC QB situation is looking good. Booty then Sanchez then Mustain...not bad.

Nah I meant Demon. He is a fucking demon with the ball you'll see.

And Mitch is 8-0 as a starter as a FRESHMAN. You better give him the benefit of the doubt that he might very well steal any Sanchez action.

[Holmes_Fans]

if, if, if, blah, blah, blah....bra, you got stomped on in your own back yard. its going to be nice starting a little streak this year....
Luckily for Texas losing on their homefield doesn't happen as often as lets say.... A&M. Where Texas has yet to lose this century and has a winning record at overall.

and it was hardly getting stopped, you score 12 points on what you call an overrated defense. Quit acting like you fucked us in the ass like Texas had done to a&m the 5 years before

[Ballcox]

Ah, I love it! With jgw beginning to go on his typical idiotic rants, I know we're close to the beginning of college football season. Oh, and by the way jgw, your precious trojans can suck a nut, we own your ass-you DO remember the Rose Bowl, right?

As for my Horns, we definitely have questions to answer on our O Line and secondary. BUT, we also happen to be stacked with talent at both positions due to top notch recruiting classes every year. On the O Line, I think we're set with T. Hills (LT), D. Griffin (C), and Ultowski (RT). Hopefully C. Dockery can come back from his injury (all accounts indicate he should be back this season) to play RG and then I wouldn't be surprised to see big time OL recruit T. Allen get some time at both LG as well as rotating in at the tackle spot. Chris Hall and Charlie Tanner should also see time in the OL rotation.

Secondary, I think, is an even bigger question mark for us. But I feel confident with Akina as our new D coordinator that we'll see more different looks from our defense this season, including getting the LB's more involved in pass defense. If my fellow Horn fans remember from last year, Ohio St. killed us with the underneath crossing routes in that game, their WR Gonzales was getting that shit all day. Why? Mostly because our LB's were all sucked up close to the line in order to contain Pittman and the QB. With Akina, I think he'll get the LB's more involved in pass coverage, and we have SO much depth/athleticism at the LB position, in fact I think this is the deepest we've ever been at LB in the Mack era.

I'm looking for guys like S. Kindle, D. Kelson (hasn't looked good at safety), J. Norton, D. Earnest and K. Robinson to rotate in and get some PT. We can go 2 deep at the LB positions without losing much, and I expect those guys to play a bigger role in the defense this year. As for the secondary, right off the bat I think Curtis Brown starts at CB this upcoming season. He is a superior talent and I think a fixture at CB for a while. Other guys like Foster, Jackson, Palmer, B. Wells, J. Henry will have to battle it out at the other CB spots. I'm not nearly as worried about the safety positions with M. Griffin back (and healthy), along with I. Oduegwu, T. Gatewood, incoming recruit C. Scott trying to nail down the other safety postion. So the talent is there, we just have to get our ass in gear by that 2nd game of the season against a very good TCU team.

As for the season and our record:

Arkansas St. (W, 49-10)
TCU (W, 27-20)
@Central Florida (W, 38-13)
Rice (W, 49-7)
K. State (W, 31-20)
OU (L, 14-24)
@Iowa St. (W, 38-14)
@Baylor (W, 37-17)
Nebraska (W, 21-20)
@Ok. State (L, 27-28)
Texas Tech (W, 42-24)
@a&m (W, 24-16)

Finish 10-2, see where we land for bowl games, not ready to make that prediction yet. I think this season will be a bit of a rebuilding year, getting young guys used to our system. My feeling is '08 will have us back in the national title hunt. This team could surprise me (and I hope they do), but I think we're a year away at this time. Hook'em!

I don't see us losing to OU with these preseason predictions, which essentially are always based on what the teams look like "On Paper".

Only way we lose to OU with a new quarterback and no APeterson is two words:

Greg.DAVIS.

Seriously though, why DOES THIS GUY STILL HAVE JOB?!?!?!?!?
Yes he's a good QB coach but demote him to fucking QB coordinator, for the love of longhorn gods stop letting him call the plays!!!!!

While I agree with you about GD and his game planning and play calling, we both know that as long as Mack is the CEO, Davis will be around as OC.

Mack just needs to have a little bit more control. I heard he completely took over during the 2nd half of the OU game, GD still didn't trust colt that far into the season. Mack wanted to throw deep and GD didn't.

I hope they use Sherrod Harris a lot this season, I don't want to see this shotgun bullshit if they aren't going to let Colt make the decision to run. Charles better only come out when he is gasping for air aswell.

[BeerIsGood!]

GD is the worst offensive coordinator in college football. With the weapons on that team they could literally go to a local Austin High School, like say LBJ or Westlake, pull an offensive coach off the squad, and he'd call a better game than GD. I never knew the timing for a shovel pass or quick hitch to a WR could be so bad until I watched a GD called game. The damn corner could be up in Sweed's (or Roy Williams circa 2003) jock and GD would call the hitch.

I have 3 main worries that could kill us going into the season:

1) Greg Davis
2) Charles actually being able to hold onto the ball
3) Secondary, namely CB

As for Oklahoma - there is no concievable way they should win the shootout this year with a half shit for QB and no Peterson. I agree with CBF - Greg Davis could be the Achillies' heel with a lucky OU arrow hitting it.

[Holmes_Fans]

I hope our defense can stay healthy, MLB44(huge brain fart on his name, to lazy to look up) was the only LB who didn't miss significant time. Killebrew broke his arm, kindle and kelson were injured most of preseason with bad ankles.

We were mainly just unlucky last year, unlike 2005 where we didn't have many significant injuries. I can think of 3 off the top of my head from 2006(lokey, killebrew, dockery all had season ending injuries).

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I've actually almost made myself forget about our fumbling troubles. Jesus christ texas sucks. How hard is it to hold the ball close to your body?

Jamaal almost fumbled a huge one for us back in the rose bowl, although it was a catch not a handoff.

[Ballcox]

^Agree that GD sucks as an OC, but as long as Mack is the head coach then we've got to deal with GD. Although from what I've heard Mack has taken a more hands on approach to offensive play calls, and I think that is a VERY good thing.

I also think the offense has the potential to be truly dominant this season, as long as the O line can come together. The WR depth is amazing, 4 deep you're looking at L. Sweed, Q. Cosby, B. Pittman, and J. Shipley. And then you've got guys like N. Jones, M. Weber, M. Williams waiting in the wings. Add in J. Finley at TE and you can basically throw the ball anywhere on the field.

I also expect J. Charles to have a big year, he's put on muscle and from all reports I've read has lost none of his speed. I also expect my dark horse, C. Ogbannaya to make some plays from the backfield this season. He's got a good burst and goes about 225lbs, should be much better than Melton-who was a complete bust at RB.

I think that early in the season, OU's offense won't be able to hang with UT but it will be much closer than some expect. OU will have success running the ball in the first half but inexperience at QB in the second half will be their downfall.

Shipley strained his hamstring yet again and look for him to probably miss alot of games again this year.

Typical.
Mookie says the guy to look for at tailback this year is Vondrell McGee. But I doubt he's worth a shit. Texas loves to ignore recruiting amazing game changing runningbacks now, and I'm sure running out of shotgun and getting roughly 2.6 yards per carry as a team led a bunch of young RBs to avoid our team like the plague.

[Holmes_Fans]

Vondrell McGee is 2nd on the depth chart right now, Charles will no doubt get most of the carries, they better not do this subbing bullshit like last year.

And you should change your name to Jorvorskielooms

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He does loom...dumb fat bumblin sumblin aggie

he looks like he ate 14 bigmacs a day as a kid and by sheer genetics alone turned all the calories into explosive quick muscle.

[Holmes_Fans]

Think about last year, the run stoppage was there. The linebackers were there in the run D. But the linebackers were too slow for our zones and our Secondary was a total abomination. It sucked the most ass since before I can remember.
The run stoppage was there because the secondary was up at the line helping. The top 2 tacklers last season were from the secondary, that is not a good thing. But also like you said the linebackers were to slow to get out and cover the pass, the corners were always in man coverage. The secondary has 2 first round draft picks, and possible could of been a 3rd high pick if Brown didn't go and smoke pot.

[Ballcox]

^I don't doubt we'll see some of V. McGee, and he was a big time recruit coming out of HS. But from all indications it's J. Charle's time to shine at RB, he'll get plenty of carries and needs to be a workhorse for us to win. There has been some 'talk' in UT cirlces that J. Charles needs to be more tough game to game, not ask out of games because he got dinged up a little. It's D1 football, ya know? You're going to get hit hard running the ball in the Big XII, and hit often. I just hope J. Charles is ready to deal with that.

As for Shipley, don't worry CBF, he'll be ready by the time 2-a-days start in August, I'm expecting him to have a solid year at WR. I would also like to see Bobino lose his job to S. Kindle. Can you imagine Muckleroy, Kindle and Derry starting at the LB spots? NICE. :smokin

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Derry was exposed last season IMO, way too slow, he got smegmalized by Tech, Nebraska, and KState's passing attack

Muckleroy is one of the quickest LB's we have, hopefully he stays healthy the whole season.

[Holmes_Fans]

Derry was never unexposed. I really don't blame him for getting blown up in the Tech game, I was at the game and ready to go on the field and ready to kick the d-cord in the nuts. There is no way you are gonna stop Tech running the 4-3 unless one of those linebackers is Kindle or Kelson since they have decent speed.

I think Charles will do that, he said during the spring how much he hated splitting carries and having to come out every 5 or 6 snaps. He could never get in a rhythm. Hopefully they go under center more, something the entire team wanted to do more. If they don't they better let Colt make the decision to either hand off or run, something they didn't let him do last year.

Word.


I don't want to see Colt run the ball. Only as a last result on broken plays, and that is it. After seeing what one good hit did to him last season we should not risk letting him run as part of our offense. Ever. Again.
Sherrod won't pull a Snead on us and make himself look like Matt Leinart's heir for College Footballs Greatest Douche, but he wont be ready to handle game after game if Colt goes down.

Now that he has gained 15 lbs of muscle I wouldn't mind seeing some designed runs, just as long as he has blockers infront of him.

They better get Harris time at QB, he will revitalize our offense if they let him run the QB choice plays out of shotgun that VY did so well and colt sucked on.

I know this sounds dumb, but I would love to see Coly and Sherrod on the field at the same time with another RB out of shotgun. Colt in the middle the the RB and Harris on either side. They could either hike it right to colt for a precision pass, or straight to harris for an option. Or to colt who hands it off to Harris and then runs with the RB on an option. Or to keep the defense guessing hands the ball off and Harris passes.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah the possibilities are endless for a competent offensive coordinator, but therein lies the futility.

[j-6]

Oh corso, something tells me CORSO is on his way to getting another bill gates signature CORSO!


I think Scott's prediction is almost dead-on, since he didn't include any predictions regarding a loss to Okie State, which I think will beat both UT and OU this year.

Yeah, I've bought into the hype. The Pokes are for real. Problem is, they chose a bad year to break out. Have you seen their sked? Us Orangebloods (and the Sooner faithful) are going to write them off since they should be carrying three losses into the Texas game, but OSU has to go to Athens, to College Station, and to Lincoln before they get the Horns at home.

I didn't even bother including 2006 bowl teams like Troy (on the road) and Tech, because the Cowboys should dispose of each easily.

As for the Horns, I'm thinking 10-2 with losses to Okie State and Nebraska.



Arkansas State (W, 51-17)
TCU (W, 16-7)
@Central Florida (W, 45-10)
Rice (W, 35-17)
Kansas State (W, 44-17)
OU (W, 27-13)
@Iowa State (W, 31-20)

Nebraska (L, 16-10)
@Okie State (L, 38-31)
Tech (W, 38-21)
@A&M (W, 17-6)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I do not see any home losses this year, that is the only thing I can say based 'on paper' analysis.

OU is always going to come to play and will be a coaching victory more than anything, and A&M will be swirling towels and spraying maroon flavoured jizz into the stands, not unlike a gwar concert, enciting their fans to a highly decibilized frenzy, I never really thought about OSU as a threat, but its possible.

I'm more worried about OSU then OU. Bobby Reid is what, a junior this year? They have already had us beat 2 out of the last 3 years before Vince Young woke up.

[BeerIsGood!]

I wonder if OSU has the dreaded mental block against UT. We Orangebloods remember it well, and it took Vince's magical mystery tour of 2005 for us to end our mental block. I just don't see how you can lose games like they have lost to UT the last three years and not have some sort of block about it. I see UT winning due to turnovers and Okie St. mental errors in a close one that gets to double digits late.

[scott]

scott i trust our annual sig bet will remain valid for 2007 red river shootout?

Despite my pre-season prediction of my team losing the Red River Shootout, I will gladly partake. Remind me of the terms, though.

[Ballcox]

^Regarding Sherrod Harris, don't be surprised to see J. Chiles maybe sneak into that 2 deep QB rotation-similar to Tebow at Florida. I was at the Spring Orange/White game and Chiles has got IT.

You know, that extra gear? He's also a big sob with great speed and good vision when running the ball. He seemed to throw the ball well when given time with very good arm strength. He could easily take away Sherrod's minutes playing QB. I'm excited to see him play this season (provided he doesn't RS).

[Holmes_Fans]

Everywhere I have heard Harris will be #2, he has been in the system longer and knows the playbook. I would much rather have him out there then Chiles who is new and has only been a QB for 1 year. Especially if colt goes down

Our sked is quite simply one of the most brutal in the nation. It is not perhaps ranked as high as some, but to make matters worse, most of our tougher opponents are on the road. At UGA, at Neb, at uo, at atm, at Troy. I challenge you to find 5 tougher road games on any team in the NCAA's schedule. The only other road game is at Baylor.

Many people and publications are saying this is a year for the Pokes to go wild. I will believe it when I see it. Bobby Reid is capable of being as close to the next VY as you might see but also capable of being the next Reggie McNeal, depends on which night you get him on. We have as good of QB/RB/WR combo as any team in the nation. We may very well have the best offense in the nation. However having a top 10 O and a mid 70s D still doesn't win you many more games than you lose.

If some how our new D Coord can figure out a way to make us a mid 40s ranked D... we could seriously make some waves. Until that time...

^Let me clear things up for you BRA, last time we played it was for a national championship, you LOST. We OWN your ass! Get used to bending over on a regular basis.

you must not have mastered the english language...? t.u. has a losing record against Southern Cal...we own you. furthermore, 'regular basis'...huh? you haven't done anything on a regular basis except underachieve.

and if by some reason t.u. fans feel the need to talk crap...you need only compare past and present. the programs aren't even close. go away...

[Ballcox]

Damn jgw, it's a little early for whining isnt' it? Listen, you just get your usc guys to show up with a nutsack next time we play, we'll serve your ass up again just like last time.

whining? i didn't know whining = showing you the inferiority of your team. oh, and next time we play...i will tell the boys not to give you the game.

...i don't think you'd want to play SC this year, but if by some chance you make the national title game...we'll be there, waiting.

[Ballcox]

Well of course, you've got the best players money can buy. And playing the soft ass pac 10 conference allows you to be there with even with a team that isn't that good.

But I'll tell ya one thing, I'd put money on my Texas boys any day beating your soft so-cal ASS. That's a fact.

[johngateswhiteley]

...that right there shows your limited knowledge of CFB.


But I'll tell ya one thing, I'd put money on my Texas boys any day beating your soft so-cal ASS. That's a fact.

...i'll be happy to take your money when, if ever, t.u. rises high enough to play SC.

Its funny that JGW always tries his very best to downplay the fact that UT owned his team in california, after it was proclaimed by espn pundits to be the greatest college football team of all time.

the 'greatest team of all time' can still play like crap, which they did. and we didn't get owned dumb ass, we lost, that day, by 3.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I consider it an owning by association since

it was in California,
noone gave UT a chance whatsoever,
you had two heisman winners (one of which was unofficially castrated and dethroned that night),
a 4 week running show on ESPN comparing your team to all other top teams in ncaa history,
we intercepted matt leinart, his 2nd of the season,
made lendale fumble the first time the season,
stopped ya'll on fourth down twice,
only gave up like 2 explosive plays to reggie bush, one of which resulted in the "lateral heard round the world' the other was in total garbage time.


It took a special team to beat USC that year. So i'll call it an ownage.


Plus even if we had lost that game I would have considered it a moral ownage of sorts for that play when Pete Carroll (smartest defensive coach of all time..) blitzed the Ting brothers and Vince Young kicked one out of the way and sidestepped another, giving him 5 extra seconds to pass the ball. That was seriously one of the funniest things i've ever seen in my life.

lol, none of that is ownage. its called USC playing lousy and letting t.u. win. but, hey, you live your own life...you can call it whatever you want.

owning yourself is still getting owned.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol If you keep repeating this to yourself, maybe you'll believe it. USC had 549 yards of total offense. Yeah...reallll lousy. :lol I think you're just looking for attention with that comment now.

[samikeyp]

If USC let UT win, then they don't deserve to be champions. You never, ever let anyone win ever. Personally, I think Pete Carroll is better than that and would have loved to have won that game. SC got beat, period.


My predictions for this year:

UT 11-1 the loss coming in Dallas.

They make the BCS as an at large

Michigan and USC run the table and go to the BCS title game where SC wins.

[Kermit]

USC had every chance to win that game. The better team won. End of story. So much for their 1 MNC in a row.

wouldn't we go to a BCS as the big 12 winner instead of just an at large or am I mistaken?

[samikeyp]

If OU beats Texas, I think they will win the Big 12 and get the Big 12 spot.

[scott]

I like where your head is at, Mikey

[samikeyp]

I like where your head is at, Mikey

:lol

I figured you would. My heart is with the Horns but I think OU is going to be better than people think.

Don't get me wrong though.....if UT pulls it off...i'll be lookin' for you! :)

[StylisticS]

If OU has their qb play figured out by then, they have a great shot. If not, UT wins it's 3rd straight this year over the sooners.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

OU is getting recruits that make a joke program like A&M moist, and wanting.

They very well could beat us this year, just don't expect me to not laugh at the fact that they went 0-14 in 2005.

[John McClane]

Does OU have a QB? Last I checked they have jack and shit at QB, and jack left town.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

true dat mah brotha but they are stacked at various positions, sucessfully looting top recruits from texas as strong as they always have.

[Ballcox]

^jgw is a complete tool, and I am aware that most who post on a regular basis are aware of this. I just like how when one of his teams wins, they own your team. Yet if your team wins he's got some excuse for why it happened, some kind of fluke or something.

jgw lacks objectivity, he's a homer to the extreme, and the funniest part is that the dumbass didn't even go to usc for school, he's just a fucking bandwagon fan at best. But guess what? Keep talking jgw, because the more you talk about college football the more of an idiot you make yourself out to be on this board. Seriously, don't you think you'd feel more at home on an sc board where all of you could just jerk each other off all day?

[johngateswhiteley]

this is funny, i can't wait for the season to start...

i work with a guy that knew/knows him from high school. said he was a douchebag for the most part and didn't jump on pete carroll's nutsack until he went to some insignifcant little college in cali, then came back to s.a. with a boner for bandwagoning.

[Ballcox]

^makes sense seeing that he lends absolutely nothing of any value to the college board. And when you finally confront with him with his own stupidity? He avoids the topic completely.

I just like to give him shit for a good laugh, also let my friends see some of his posts so that they can also laugh at his worthless takes.

I was also glad to hear you say he jumped on the usc bandwaggon when Carrol became head coach. We can now completely dismiss anything jgw has to say about usc, turns out he just likes to follow his teams when they're doing well and 'owning' everybody. :lol :lol :lol

- Arizona Wildcats -

September 1: at Brigham Young
September 8: Northern Arizona
September 15: New Mexico
September 22: at California
September 29: Washington State
October 6: at Oregon State
October 13: at USC
October 20: Stanford
October 27: at Washington
November 3: UCLA
November 15: Oregon
December 1: at Arizona State

Win
Loss

So 8-4, regular season, and a bowl appearance.

I say their range is +/- 1 win/loss, 7-5 to 9-3.

BYU is their toughest non-conferece, and it will be tough, but I think they win it. I'd like to see them take three of five from Cal, USC, UCLA, Oregon and Oregon State, but they play three of five on the road, so that's pretty hard to ask for. I gave them a 1-4 record vs. those teams, but I think they can hang with every one of them but USC.

Arizona State could be their make or break game. If they have six wins entering, like last season, then the pressure of having to win to make a bowl could be too great. Then they are looking at 6-6. It's important they already have a 7-win season in case.

[Brutalis]

ownedddd self

[Thunder Dan]

my plan is falling into place earlier than I thought. Cal or USC loses and Florida beats LSU and we are in

^Regarding Sherrod Harris, don't be surprised to see J. Chiles maybe sneak into that 2 deep QB rotation-similar to Tebow at Florida. I was at the Spring Orange/White game and Chiles has got IT.

You know, that extra gear? He's also a big sob with great speed and good vision when running the ball. He seemed to throw the ball well when given time with very good arm strength. He could easily take away Sherrod's minutes playing QB. I'm excited to see him play this season (provided he doesn't RS).

[speedbooster101]

so it sucks that football seasons over!
