Lol......me too. Oh well. As a minn. Vikings fan I am used to perpetual underachievement. I'll sleep just fine.TomCat88 wrote:If you're serious, you can put me down for any amount.John K wrote:I'd bet just about any amount of money that our conference record will be somewhere between 8-12 and 11-9
Do you really believe they'll be better than 11-9 next year? What's your prediction for their record?TomCat88 wrote:If you're serious, you can put me down for any amount.John K wrote:I'd bet just about any amount of money that our conference record will be somewhere between 8-12 and 11-9
I think 8 wins is pushing it for next year. The collapse this year may carry over to next year!John K wrote:Do you really believe they'll be better than 11-9 next year?

Well based on the parameters of your bet they have to finish with either 9 or 10 wins for you to win. If they finish with 0-8 wins or 11-20 wins, you lose.

Well that bodes pretty well for Danny Sprinkle right there. All four years he was here (1996-1999) we had a winning record in the league. So in the last 17 seasons we've had just 7 winning seasons and he was here for four of them. We've had nine .500 or better seasons and he was here for five of those out of six years. The year after he graduated we had our worst season in the last 17 years (at least).ilovethecats wrote: '97 - 10-6

in the last 16 seasons...we've hit 10 conference wins or more THREE times! and only once in the last 10 seasons.
Yeah that's ugly. Careful, you're going to talk me out of this and piss John K off.ilovethecats wrote:i'd love to see that many wins tom. i just have no reason to believe it besides blind loyalty. just a few numbers over the years....

THIS coule be the year where the team doesn't fade in the 2nd half of the year. THIS could be the year huse gets it going and we put a decent product on the floor. sadly.....i wouldn't bet money on this happening......
I guess I should have clarified that I meant 8-12 through 11-9 inclusive. Going forward, I will be more precise with my wording.TomCat88 wrote:Well based on the parameters of your bet they have to finish with either 9 or 10 wins for you to win.

Seriously, yes, I think they'll be 12-8 or better (I'll let you sneak in another win there) next year, but I wouldn't bet on it this early. If Blount makes it back, Biglow is set to play, and there are no major injuries/defections between now and next season we can do this.
