I just plugged in dates this season for next season to take an honest look at the season.
@ Auburn (L)
@ Navy (W/L)
Nicholls State (W)
Boise State (L)
Hawai'i * (W/L)
@ Idaho * (W)
San Jose State * (W)
@ Fresno State * (W/L)
@ LSU (L)
@ Utah State * (W)
New Mexico State * (W)
@ Nevada * (W/L)
* WAC Games
Next season will just sit weird. There are only five games that I think we can for sure win. If we go 5-7 after this season, that will kill the momentum. That is all I am saying. On the other hand, we could very well win 8-11 games! Who knows.
The 2 $ec games are ill-advised, in my opinion. I'll be satisfied with 6-6 next year. A second winning season would be a tremendous success.
I think we are setting up for an outstanding 2010. (I hope DD will consider a 13th game against a driveable, winnable opponent.)
I think we beat Boise next yeat at home.
We are certainly due.
I know some you think we play too many BCS schools. You are thinking of LSU and Auburn as Top 5 teams. They are not. 7-5 and 5-7 respectively. We have beaten the best the SEC has to offer before. Neither of these two schools will be at the top next year of the SEC. Our biggest problem with LSU the two times we played them was that we played their best two teams in 60 years! Not saying they are gimmees, but come on it is not that bad. The years we played at 3 BCS schools in the top 10 were what were killer. Remember LSU traditionally is a mediocre SEC school. Much like Ole Miss. Just so happens that Nick Saban put together something that will be once in a life time for the tiger nation. The only negative about next year is 5 home games versus 6. Otherwise not an unmanageable schedule. Eight or Nine wins should be doable.Quote:

Yeah we can do amazing up to 8, but I anticipate no less than 4 wins, but id be happy with 6 too. What's going to be interesting is trying to implement the new recruits into the offense with such competition. Crazy season. :rolleyes4:
Concerning future schedules. I saw this from an article from a couple of days ago. Van De Velde spoke a a Lions club group.
"Van De Velde also took questions from ten Lions ranging from parking problems for on campus football games, switching conferences to the possibility of playing Notre Dame in the Independence Bowl.
He also spoke of the plan to have six or seven home games a year beginning in 2010, and that home and home series with Navy and Arkansas were in the works."
Any chance we can get Arkansas on the schedule????
Soooeeeyyyyy!Quote:

I guess poeple are not use walking for more than 3 minutes or its to far.
that sounds great, as long as "home and home" doesn't mean little rock and little rock (but i'm sure we're too elite for that).Quote:
