Owls are gay...(not that there is anything wrong with that)
Texas' offense will own all next season. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

as far as owls being gay, i don't know about that. maybe...but you are right, Texas will be very dangerous next season, I think they are the class of the BIG 12 and they will win every game on their schedule with the exception of a hiccup against OU and that is questionable. BUT....they aren't hanging 50 on anybody from the SEC in a National Title game, especially if it's Florida's disgustingly good defense.

Texas plays no one until deep in October. The first half of the season is a cake walk for them.

Rutgers anywhere from 12-0 to 10-2.

10-2, s*** happens in the Big East


My Michigan Wolverines will go 12-0, REAL FANS DON'T EXPECT THEIR TEAMS TO LOSE!!!

So using this brilliant logic, stark raving mad homers are the only "real fans."

A Picard facepalm isn't even worth it at this point.

LOL, I knew I was going to catch at least one emotional person, Dude do the players go into the season thinking their going to lose?? Probably not, so why should I? I'm not writing any game off because I want to sound smart during a sports forum discussion. It's called upsets for a reason, You Play To Win!! REAL players don't go into the game expecting to LOSE!!

And yes I'm a Yankee fan so if steriods provide more offense to capture number 27 then I'm all for it, and it's not cheating if everybody does it, lol

And that's the difference between fans and players/coaches. A fan's mindset doesn't affect the outcome of the game one bit. The mindset of a player or coach on the other hand...

Michigan will go into Iowa on October 10th at 8:00 at night. The players and coaches will go in there expecting to win. Me? I'm expecting UM to get a mudhole stomped in them. But hey, I guess I'm not a real fan.

LoL, didn't notice you were a mod and since I like this site I won't get into a p****** contest. Your right I'm wrong, Your big I'm little.... And yes me yelling at my TV does help them win, I was in Iraq last year and do you see what happens, lol

Not saying you are not a REAL fan, maybe a "REALIST" however, as a fan we have the right and the privledge to believe we are always going to go undefeated. You have obviously never been around Gamecock fans. They believe they are going undefeated every single season, and I cannot blame them for that one bit. I will tell you right now, I hope that Clemson goes 14-0. I want Clemson to go 14-0 and as a matter of fact my heart will tell you they will go 14-0 but....then there isthe old head..and the head says 5-7. Sure believe Michigan will go 13-0. No one will fault you for it. Probably wont happen but then again no one thought that 2004 Auburn would go 14-0 a year after the 2003 team was supposed to be the ones that ran the table and Tuberville was on the hot seat. Funny things happen in college football

Re: Win/Loss prediction for your team

Personally I think the word homer is overused today. Someone can hope for the best but be satisfied with a good season. For Florida State if everything fell into place, the best I think I could see is 11-1, with that loss being to Florida.

I agree with your overall point but I have to ask what makes you think they will get stomped by Iowa. Iowa lost there best player in Shonn Greene and to me they look like a pretty average team this year. Road games at night are certainly tough but I see no reason why Michigan couldn't win that game.

Why do you even support them then? If you expect to lose, why watch?

If every Michigan fan had your outlook, it would definitely have an effect on the team. To think otherwise is ridiculous.

Hampton isn't exactly a slouch. WAY too many question marks on defense for Michigan, and they're still very young on offense. Taking a freshman QB into an environment like Kinnick at night is not exactly conducive to victory.

Yeah, you'll have to excuse me if I don't take the advice from someone who literally justified being a blind homer. Forgive me for taking a realistic approach instead of the koolaid drinking approach. Michigan should be improved this year, but to expect them to win games where, on paper at this point, they will be at a significant disadvantage, is delusional.

And bull**** on your "if every fan had your outlook" point. Yep, I'm sure the Michigan players and coaches obsessively follow the message boards thinking, "OH MY GOD this guy doesn't think we can win....we obviously can't!"

Regardless, I'm not "every" fan. There's a place for the koolaid drinking people with blinders on, a place for the chicken little naysayers, and a place for the realists in the middle.

I agree with a lot of what you say and i will call you a "realist" without hesitation. But i can say that players do read forum sights, as I know a few former Tigers the biggest name among them Tye Hill and they do read fan forums like tigerillustrated.com on the rivals.com network. They do care what we think. Do they go and play like crap because i think Clemson is going 5-7? Heck no they dont. If anything they want to prove jacka***s like me wrong and beat the crap out of some FSU. I respect a realist a lot more than I do a homer. So, i agree with you on your Michigan point other than you might just take a loss to Iowa not neccesarily getting a mudhole stomped in you.
