Duff's prediction history speaks for itself. Going through the schedule being very optimistic the best I can come up with is 6-6 but predictions at this point are worthless because everyone making a prediction hasnt seen the QB play one fucking snap What prediction doest thou speaketh of? The one where Woody wouldn't block a shot per game? what nba team is Mel on?

I thoroughly enjoyed the woody block-o-meter thread. It generated sooooo much butthurt among le tavern hokks.

I am refraining from an official prediction this year. But if cornered and forced to make one, I will say you can tell after the first 60 minutes of the season.
If we beat NIU by 13 or more, we win 7 minimum, with an 8th surprise win as a possibility.
If we beat NIU by less than 13, we win 5.
If we lose to NIU, we win 2 or 3.
I believe we will roll NIU and get to 7 wins, I'd call 8 but fucking Northwestern and Wisconsin are just too hard to gauge. I say it all keys off the o line and that is why I am qualifying my prediction on the first 60 minutes of ball. If the o line is good enough, the QB won't fucking matter and we'll pisspound NIU and likely start 6-0. If we come out of the gate hard, I see it going down similar to 2006, great start against a bunch of shitbags, ranked maybe around 20 going into OSU. Hokkfan will waddle around with his chest all puffed out and then the tailspin will begin, where we wrap the second half of the season with 1-2 wins at best.

Teh trolling is much moar fun when Hok fan has a ray of hope. When they have nothing to play for, it's just too depressing. A quick start is a trolls best scenario.

Yes, 5-1 or 6-0 out of the gate is a possibility, but I could see them losing every game in that second half of the season. Those good starts puffed up by the real schedule not beginning until mid October is a recipe for anguish among the HokkFans. Hell, they started 4-2 last year (probably should have been 6-0) and then proceeded to shit the bed 6 fucking games in a row. Ferentz coached teams used to get better in October and November, but of late, they have gone on an epic bed shitting expedition in those months.

I think you pessimists are going to be pleasantly surprised at the end of the season.

I think you pessimists are going to be pleasantly surprised at the end of the season. I'm cautiously pessimistic this year. My 3-9 call last year was overly pessimistic, so this year I have qualified it - if we can pisspound a MAC team in our first game, we're gonna be decent but if we piss the bed against them, it's fixin' to be a long year.

I'm not predicting it, but I won't be the least bit surprised to see 7-8 wins. As you said, it all depends on what I see in the first 1/2 of the NIU game. If they come out flat, they'll probably not recover well. If they start out hot and put a pounding on NIU, I'll feel better about the possibilities.

Why doesn't anyone think we can beat ISU? I think we fuck ISU up this year. The worst Iowa team in a fucking decade lost by three to ISU, and they're fucking worse this year.

ISU looks worse this year, and while I think we will be better, that is still a huge question mark. Sadly, I think if we even just had O'Keefe with his 8 play playbook, we would be fine because this is gonna be a punch 'em in the mouf kind of season. If numbnuts Davis tries to run that fucking multi read pass offense with a fresh QB and these WRs, we're probably fucked. This is precisely the year for O'Keefe's "fuck you, I'll run a few times against 10 in the box and then PA over the top to my TE" type of offense. With Northwestern turning over their lines and ISU losing a bunch of guys, this was prolly one of Kurt's best opportunities in his 14 or whatever it is year tenure to FINALLY FUCKING BEAT BOTH IOWA STATE AND NORTHWESTERN IN THE SAME GOD DAMNED SEASON, but he probably fucking won't.

Riddle me this:
If Kurt was the coach at say Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tejas, Wisconsin, Michigan or OSU, how many years of losing to one or both of Iowa State AND Northwestern would they fucking tolerate? Those are two shitbag, cellar dwelling programs and the GUY HAS NEVER FUCKING BEAT THEM BOTH IN THE SAME FUCKING SEASON. Jesus H Christ. Four fucking million bucks pissed down the leg.*
* I did not "piss on my leg" rather I "spilled some piss on my leg" - two different things.
