I like to cover my bases. I figure anything in between is hitting the target.LOL, at least you didn't sway too far one way or another on the season.

I mean that's a good point, cast a wide net, catch many fish.I like to cover my bases. I figure anything in between is hitting the target.
Unacceptable.
There it is.I will give it a shot, these are just guesses so please be kind:
BAMA 45-21 (L) APLST 49-17 (W) MICHST 35 - 21 (W) CCTST 62 - 12 (W) UVA 24 - 14 (W) BYE WEEK @ UNC 42-41 (W) NCST 31-30 (L) @ PITT 35 - 31 (W) GATECH 42 - 21 (W) @ FSU 55 - 21 (W) VATECH 21 - 20 (W) @ DUKE 35 - 18 (W) ACC Championship vs Clemson 42 - 28 (L) Fiesta Bowl vs Coastal Carolina 37 - 27 (W)
11-3 and a Bowl win, sign me up.
Why is mine unacceptable but you approve of his? They’re basically the sameThere it is.
Canes should not lose more than 2 regular season games
Would we all be OK with 2 regular season losses, a possible ACCCG loss and a possible bowl loss? So 4 total losses possibly, it that a failure? Any record where Manny outperforms Randy Shannon is a victory in my book. Randy never won the coastal, so this would not be a failure.www.canesinsight.com
We have to take the next step.Why is mine unacceptable but you approve of his? They’re basically the same
There are 6 teams not named Alabama in the SEC West. They play Bama every year. Do you think they have the kind of defeatist attitude we see here?
We've got a lot more going for us than we have since Manny took over. I won't predict a win, but I **** sure won't expect to lose.
Even LSU?At this point, I imagine they do.
Sure, they're hopeful that they'll have a great to perfect game for the upset, but I bet they sure don't expect a win.
They likely hope for wins to come from somewhere else and chalk that game up as a loss in season predictions. They've become accustomed to it through the years.
Even LSU?
Yean they have pretty well dominated LSU as well for the most part and that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.LSU can compete with them occasionally. Bama under Saban is 10 - 4 against LSU. Prior to LSU's Burrow and company national championship, they had dropped 8 in a row.
They may feel some optimism, but probably not much.
But I'm sure they didn't have the attitude that they didn't stand a chance. Did we have that kind of mentality when FSU beat us 7 times in a row?LSU can compete with them occasionally.

If you think that way you lose the game before it's ever played.
I'm sure Arkansas thinks they have a chance when they play Bama as well, but when it's 35-0 before the half reality sets in. While I agree teams have to "think" they have a chance but they also realize quickly when the whistle blows that the train is coming and they are on the tracks. I imagine it's not a good feeling when it sets in.But I'm sure they didn't have the attitude that they didn't stand a chance. Did we have that kind of mentality when FSU beat us 7 times in a row?

Nor do I, but I don't expect to lose either. I've seen too many upsets to be cynical.I'm sure Arkansas thinks they have a chance when they play Bama as well, but when it's 35-0 before the half reality sets in.

I hope we play the best game we have played all decade on September 4th and win, but I do not "expect" us to win truth be told.

Thanks for sharing but does it really make a difference...If you were betting everything you own on this game, you're taking Bama.
All this other stuff is fluff. I fully expect Bama to beat us soundly. That doesn't mean an upset can't happen, but it's very unlikely and why it's called an upset.
did this poRst make a difference?Thanks for sharing but does it really make a difference...
