Am I crazy to think this team can go 29-2?

It's like a Voltron made of Uncle Ricos. Combined, they have the power to throw a football over the MOON.
The Moon? Dude...we could easily throw it into the Kiper Belt...
 
Real life Uncle Rico.

Awhile back I had the great opportunity to play poker along side Jimbo. Talk about out of his mind...

did you ever get to ask him why he wore that sweat band around his neck?

No (I didnt remember it). He was very friendly, terrible at cards, and either obliterated or just "off". I could never figure out which...maybe both.
 
Even the "greatest regular season team" had their What loss, 65-68 to Rutgers (of all teams) at the RAC. Was that the game where Laminzana banked in the 3 at the buzzer? That team bucked our tradition of starting out hot and fading in the 2nd half of the season. The jury is still out on this year's team. I agree on us losing 5-6 this year. Splitting with Ville & UCONN (which will be tough) plus losing to Pitt at home. Add in 2 losses to teams we should beat.

Our "greatest regular season team" ever was the 2010 team, undefeated non-conference and 15-3 in conference. Only losses in regular season were to louisville 2x and pitt, no What losses (although they came damn close at depaul). The laminzana banked 3 was in 2003, our "greatest postseason team ever" haha
 
I'll be stunned if we lose fewer than 5 games this season. Absolutely stunned. There will be a couple legit losses, and a couple What losses, because there always are.
are you stunned they have fewer than 5 losses? jk
 
Hey I'm not crazy! Is it to late to change my prediction to 30-1 ? Most importantly I would like to add one more thing, especially for you Marsh and all the other bELIevers out there......



all in.
Right behind you in line
 
What are your thoughts on the BET? I assume you hve us running the table there, since the teams we would see are "not that hard". So you've got us at 39-2.

There is a 6 game stretch starting Feb 11 where we play 4 games against Top 10 teams (Yukon x2 and Looevil x2). Two of those games will be on the road and two will be against a team we haven't beaten since Mr. T had a network TV show.

Take a xanax.
I didn't have to take any xanax either.lol

Great thread to read through. You took a lot of crap. Too often the doom and gloom contingent love to say "I told you so" when something bad happens. Great to see a positive I told you so.

Though you were dead wrong about Marquette and Georgetown.

Can't change your prediction to 30-1 as I was the only one to actually lay my money down on the table with that number all the way back in November!

good job. 1 or 2 losses it's still been a special season, and very rare either way. Let's hope you also put money down on the NT. 7 to 1.
 
Hope a lot of people in this thread are hungry...

Why? This kind of post, and a couple others, serve no purpose. So not everyone thought we would be 29-2. Most everyone had us in the 3-6 loss range and gave valid reasons why. So now those people have to eat crow? Or be called "the doom and gloom contingent"? What did you predict for SU's record? The poster that generalized and called people doom and gloomers, had us with as many as 5 losses. Is he then himself a doom and gloomer? SU has exceeded the expectation of MOST people, that is a great thing, not a bad thing. It's not like people were predicting SU to be a NIT team. I guess what a few of you would like is for everyone to predict SU will go undefeated every year.

This was a 100+ post thread and several among them said that with brandon and scoop there is no way we could perform this well. Other predicting as many as 8-10 losses.

And in general, there are many who will ignore 10 positives to harp on two negatives. That in itself is why people get to argue about sports, but there are a few of that group that prefers to be right in their views of JB or what has happened historically to the basketball team, and seem to revel when they are proven right.

There were also a lot of people who jumped down the original poster's throat for being optimistic.

Big10 and SEC are too competitive top to bottom for OSU or UK not to lose.
Alabama is rocking now, and so too is Vanderbilt despite the loss. Florida could have one of those days when all the talent gets in sync. They have the guards and a 3-shooting Forward that has the chance to go unconscious from 3 any given night.

maybe i missed a post, but i don't see any 8-10 loss predictions, let alone "others". and making a valid reason why the tam would go 25-6 or 25-5 isn't harping on negatives. people explained why they didn't think 29-2 was realistic. so again, i guess the predictions have to be undefeated or people are harping on negatives or are doom and gloomers.
 
the thing is, if someone said to me - "okay, now, they have to replay the season, and knowing how it played out once, you have to predict how it'll play out a second time," I'd still go 26-5 as a top end. We been money in every close game...not sure we could duplicate it.
