Predict next season W/L

8-8 until I see the draft and Camp Wofford, and make sure we are healthy going in.  Also want to see how Jerry's beloved league puts the screws on us with the schedule again.  A season finale in Charlotte for the first time since 2009 would be a nice olive branch to start with, but you know they are going to skew everything to the advantage of the Katrina Pity Partiers.

We get the last game away every year because of the Belk Bowl. C'mon man....it's not a conspiracy. They're not out to get us.

Not buying that one. Tampa has had home finales on Sunday and the Outback Bowl the day after.

Right...it's the day after the NFL game, not the day before. They're not going to let the Belk Bowl tear up the field before an NFL game.

And you're "not buying it"? Go look at the dates and you can figure it out for yourself.

Tell the Belk Bowl to stick it then.  Although with an SEC addition next year, it may finally be halfway worth a poo as a game.

 

Seeing the 'Carolina' and 'Cincinnati' seeping through our end zone fonts during the playoff game two weeks afterwards sucked though.

Haha...agreed. Hopefully the game will be better.

I hate it because it means we usually get the Christmas game as a home game. I'm hoping to go out west for Christmas this year and the Christmas home game will screw that up.

Making W/L predictions before FA or the draft? No thanks bro.

 

Before the freaking SB haha

 

If we can go 12-4 when we are technically still trying to build an offense surrounded by Hurney's ashes, I think we can do 12-4 or better again.

    • I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.
    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
