Seriously....7-5, 6-6....on par with our football program...unless your Fran Curci...10-2..…Unfortunately, tried too continue to walk through the doors. But another legendary coach took over...and continues too be the staple for UK athletic s.. .

I personnal think, this will be Stoops breakout year...strong offense. QB, RB, WR, TE and offline....medium DE line, weak LB, very strong secondary.... Special teams, better then last years...my opinion...7-5/8-4...

Reminds me of Brooks 2007...offense pretty much carried the team...Woodson, Tamme, Burton, Little, Johnson etc...Masthay....Lindley, Braxton Kelly, Conner FB, Woodyard...etc etc

I'm new England pats fan since '84....it's usually the offense since Brady that carries the team...Ironically, Belichek, being so defensive minded coordinater under Bill Parcells during his tenure with the Giants...my point being...being a defensive minded HC is fine (Belichek, Stoops)...as long as you have a great OFFENSIVE minded assistant coach....

I could read this all day. Not only talking to himself, but almost arguing with himself. Nice 14 minute conversation at 2:15am with yourself never hurts.

Below 6-6....Really disappointing. REALLY DISAPPOINTING!!!!
6-6...will take that, a bowl game and move on
7-5...this is what I actually expect.
8-4...Beating expectations but very doable with a couple good bounces
9-3....I don't see this happening
Anything better....I don't think it will happen this year

I think 7 wins is the over under so I'm going 7-5 for this year

I still think we have a shot at 8-4. I really expect 7-5. 6-6 gets us a Bowl - but disappointing considering strength of schedule and this being year 4. I do expect our offense to much better - we should have won 8 last year - this is why I think our luck will turn and we get it this year. If we do - expectations for next year will go thru the roof!

Go Big Blue!

P.S. I live in Florida - let's get at least 7 and maybe 8 - we have some very, very nice bowl games here in Central Florida!

If we get out of the gate with a win week 1 I'm saying 7-5 is hopeful, 6-6 is acceptable. Anything less is pretty deflating.

That's stupid, how is 6-6 acceptable?
Who asked you?
Shut up!
Your ugly!
OK . . . 7-5 or bust.

Just going to be very honest. I don't expect much. Every year there's this hype and glowing remarks. Then the season comes along.

I do know that Stoops has upgraded the talent and the coaching overall. The problem is that the SEC is the NFL lite. I really like Stoops and the staff he has put together.

I think Stoops and the team has to produce this year or UK will be starting all over again and soon. If there is no bowl this year, the fan enthusiasm will be gone and doubtful it will be back until he's gone. Hopeful for a 7-8 win year, but the schedule is very rugged as usual.

This year I'll be perfectly happy at 6-6. Next year, however, I expect 7-5 or better. If the guys can learn to win, which isn't as easy as it sounds, we could go 7-5 this year. I'd be thrilled.

Well it's a keeper league and I get Gurley in the 5th and David Johnson in the 12th so I'm expecting to make the playoffs at a minimum.

I don't think I've ever seen a thread like this before where the OP talks and answers to himself and almost gets into an argument with himself. Bizarre, but kinda entertaining as we wait for football season to begin.

Nobody should respond to his next thread. And just let him have a 4 page conversation with himself..

Basically, take the prediction of your overly optimistic uk fan and subtract 2 ws to get a realistic prediction.
For most of us...unfortunately, 6-6, 7-5 the occasional 8-4....Idk...WIsh this years team, (maybe, doubt it...) Would beat freaking FL!!!! Kick the mascot gator, in the head!! Tell their cheerleaders ours have won more championships than yours!!! Kings Island, doesn't do, "TSA security checks, like Walt DIsney World does!" Anything....(BTW, went this summer, too WDW...they really do! SAD!)

I like our team but I think we still lack the senior leadership that the 2007 team had. Its hard to convince folks sometimes how important good talented senior leadership means to a team.

I agree, Brooks had the talent and leadership...in 2007, I really enjoyed that team....Woodson, Little, Tame, Woodyard, Johnson etc...fun team:)
