I see 5 possibly 6 wins on that schedule. You guys look talented in the trenches on offense and at WR. But I would have serious concerns about that running game with Speedy taking on an increased workload.
Is that a threat, mother ****er?!!! :lol:8 and I'm happy to have him back. I can live with 7, but it won't make me happy. If he loses to CSU or Hawaii to start the season I won't be DBT's favorite person for awhile.
:lol: I just meant I'll be very vocally displeased if he goes and loses to Hawaii or CSU to start the season, even though he'd mathematically still be able to get to the goal of 8 wins. I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in anger if that scenario were to unfold. Biggest game of Hawk's coaching career is the CSU game imo, lose that and the season is not looking good.
That is my reoccurring worst nightmare. Losing the opener to CSU again.:lol: I just meant I'll be very vocally displeased if he goes and loses to Hawaii or CSU to start the season, even though he'd mathematically still be able to get to the goal of 8 wins.

Preview7 people said they wouldn't want to keep Hawk if the team won 12 or 13 games next year? Why not? I thought the goal was to win. And if he's winning 12 games with good kids, that's even better.
what if they have the best spring and fall practices evar and the practice on tuesday AND wednesday were the best he has evar seen prior to the CSU game but still lose? they gotta be really close if the practices are THAT good.
5 years into his tenure, and 7 wins is acceptable for so many Buff fans? Even 8 wins?
Pathetic.

You going to tell me you would be unhappy with 8 wins in 2010?
If he doesn't, then I will. Maybe if we knew Hawk was gone after that and we had something to look forward to, then OK, 8 wins and a new coach can make me happy.
Come on man. Even though I voted seven wins, I can clearly see I am in the minority. Most want at least 8 wins. You going to tell me you would be unhappy with 8 wins in 2010?
I am telling you that 8 wins in year 5 is not a dramatic enough event to make me want to keep a coach who has had 4 consecutive losing seasons.
How quickly we have let out expectations dwindle down...
Respectfully disagree. The in-state class is outstanding for 2011. It won't take 9 to get those guys excited about the Buffs. We could literally land a Top 30 class that was half Colorado kids.
