Not sure if you meant ND or if you really meant NC, either way, both of those will be tough games. That’s 4 that are very tough.
You see, we play the games, then we count those games we score fewer points as losses and those games we score more points as wins. Until we play those games, we don't count any games as losses. See how that works?
damn.. i did leave out ND - Thanks for killin' my BUUZZZ
Call me an optimist but I think we make marked improvement on both sides of the ball this season. Our QB has a year under his belt and we have upgraded the OL- I believe our passing game will come alive this year. On def we’ve upgraded some positions and have depth and our young players have more experience. I still expect to lose to CU, UG, and ND (I hope we are more competitive though).....UNC and UM are tough but we could steal one maybe? The rest are very winnable.
The question was what were the odds of winning the Coastal Division. To place odds you actually have to do that before the games are played. That is a fairly simple concept and the point of the post. Placing odds after games are plaid would be really stupid don't you agree!
Feel free to place a small bet at 50-1 odds on GT winning the Coastal Division. If you can afford the loss you could get very lucky and win big. Just expect to lose the money. Nothing wrong with making a few long shot bets as long as you can afford all the losses. 50-1 rarely pays off.
Right. No problem with the odds. Problem was with what I highlighted only. Before the season starts, I am the ultimate optimist. Until we lose a game, I won't concede it. Realistically, I expect us to play much cleaner than we did last year, and that will account for at least 3 additional regular-season wins. I expect us to be better and that will account for 3 additional regular-season wins. I expect us to surprise two teams and catch them looking past us, which will account for 2 additional regular-season wins. I expect that correctional facility NE of Atlanta to fall apart by the end of the season accounting for another regular-season win. After that, we just punch the rest of the teams we play in the mouth and outrun them.
That would be great. Hope it happens.
Lame. Have you never been auto corrected. This isn’t 2005 any more.Sorry, just love spotting the irony. Ignore my post!
I love your optimism...unfortunately, I do not share it but willing to be convinced by what I see on the field. So persuade me, I am gullible. As you posted, "The rest are very winnable" They are also loseable sic.
Sounds about right. Tough to say, the truth, but; where has GT showed any vast improvements, to debunk this? I am sitting here "hoping" we win 6 games, this coming season. I think outside our fanbase, most folks are giving us 4 wins, maybe 5.....
With our schedule, that sounds about right. We can still be a better team though. But if we aren't 9-3 this fall, there's a group that will be on the attack going after Collins every week
What matters is what plays are called and when. Do we run plays to set up bigger plays later in the game. Do we change blocking schemes but run same or similar looking plays to confuse the defense. I always liked to watch Lou Holtz run an offense. He was actually a pretty darn good magician. Probably why he liked to incorporate deception in his offense.
You are probably right but to ask this team which has won 3 games each of the past two seasons to magically triple the win total is a bit much. I think 6 wins a bowl invitation is a realistic goal to shoot for but fully expect us to win about 4.
Truthfully its about how we are losing. If we are losign one posession or even 2 possession games in them until the last bit and we get 6 wins? nah we'll have seen improvement if we are losing by 30 constantly agian. Yeah.
Holtz was also very deceptive in recruiting too! If I remember correctly he was the only ND coch to get them plced on probation
So actual wins or moral victories? Hmm, that’s a tough one
