Reply With Quote**** you.
After carefull consideration I've revised my predictions for the Buffs this year. Now, flame if you want I'm not writing this to be mean but just my predictions on each game. Now, the breakdown:
Colorado St.- WIN
Coming out of last season's close loss, I think CU is going to be hungry for this one and I think the game will stay within 10 points but a win none the less for the Buffs.
Arizona St.- LOSS
Don't really think the Buffs are going to be able to run with the Devils here, they're just simply outclassed talent wise and I think the outcome will be similar to last year.
Florida St.-LOSS
Not really expecting much out of the Buffs here, I think FSU is going to put a hurt on the Buffs.
Miami (OH)-WIN
Not much to say...big win here.
Oklahoma-LOSS
Too much talent, too much power. Stoops is gonna coast through this one.
Baylor-WIN
Baylor is going to choke bad this year.
Kansas St.-LOSS
That little bastard Freeman is going to have matured this year and I think Josh is going to pass all day long on the Buff's secondary. 7-10 point Loss here. Plus, I saw the boy play....freaking CANNON of an arm.
Kansas-WIN
Mangino eats too much and doesn't make the game
Texas Tech-LOSS
I think TT is going to be a Dark Horse to a lot of teams this year.
Missouri-LOSS
Again, Booger is learning the Tiger offense well and I think Missouri is going to exceed a lot of expectations this year, possible playing in the Big12 Championship.
Iowa St.-WIN
I give the clones another couple years before Chizik has any real effect in Ames.
Nebraska-LOSS
Come on...who you think I was gonna pick?
Season 5 and 7
All together, improvement for the Buffs under Hawk but I'd give it another 2 seasons before Hawk's guys start working into the program and things start to click.
Thoughts?

They weren't very far from being 6-6 last year. A few changes here and there (and a passing game) and they're a .500 team.
Texas can eat a taint-flavored lollipop.
I think that is what you get with the Buffs this year. One can easily justify anywhere from 4 to 7 wins for this team. I think we will have a better idea of what kind of season to expect after the ASU game.
Funny you are mentioning all these blowouts by FSU and OU when CU pretty much was in every single game till the 4th qtr last year. This CU team is physically stronger and the offense is improved. I think the doubters are gonna be surprised. I don't see us winning 10 games, but I would be shocked if the buffs didn't win 6 or 7 games.
A very safe prediction there, Mooseknuckle. No real upsets either way.
I think you'll see the buffs pull at least one that no one expects. FSU is an upset special waiting to happen. Semenoles have huge QB questions, and I think that Hawk will turn to the back pages of the play book for special plays. That game is a huge recruiting weekend, and Hawk will pull out all the stops.
Nor do I think Hawk's team will be caught flat-footed against your cornholers' trickeration this year. In Boulder, that game should always scare you.

Oklahoma-LOSS
Too much talent, too much power. Stoops is gonna coast through this one.
I don't disagree with the Loss, but I doubt it will be a coast game. Last year in Norman the score going into the 4th Quarter was 10-0. I expect a close loss for the Buffs based on the fact CU will be better offensively than last year and stronger. Couple that with the fact it is a home game and OU is still a little questionable at QB, I think it will be again close going into the 4th quarter.
I see the Buffs finishing 6-6 with a win over Mizzou. The Tigers always play bad in Boulder and The Pickel is still the coach, so a late season swoon is for certain.
I think camel toe gave us a sober look at the season and this is a sober look at there's, but for both of us we are could do better the only mortal locks for NU to get pounded on this schedule are SC and UT.
As for us getting blown out I think we will get hammered by FSU with all the coaching improvements they made its going to be real tough on us to compete in that game, OU we have a better shot in becuase of their QB cluster-****. I really think the biggest shot for us to get blown out though is Texas Tech, they have to be pissed after last year, oh and I see KSU as highly winable, one man teams can be streaky and freeman has his disaster moments, and they only beat UT last year becuase they knocked Colt McCoy out.
"Don't argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."

I agree except for the Missouri game. Mizzery will probably be favored, but they're still Mizzery, and Pinkel is still the head coach.

That would be like my second favorite team going through the season undefeated. Because my two favorite teams are Colorado and anybody playing Nebraska!
I don't think your final tally is that far out of the realm of possibility.
I don't expect the Buffs to get blown out in too many (if any) games, but a 5-7 or 6-6 campaign wouldn't surprise me.
I hear ya. In all seriousness, I do agree with yours. I would not be surprised if the corn lost 5 games. Like us, they still need to prove it on the field. And Slash has come up short in every big game he has coached.That would be like my second favorite team going through the season undefeated. Because my two favorite teams are Colorado and anybody playing Nebraska!
I hate to say it, but considering that the Huskers have beaten us in Boulder 6 out of the last 7 times they have come, I doubt they are too scared
