Coach34 SEC predictions 2012
- Thread starter Coach34
- Start date
But only if we have 0 injuries on our o-line and at QB. If we have any injuries on these two, even for just a game or two, things may get a little ugly for us.
...I know it's fun to bust your balls and I do my share. But I hope you're right. I agree and think we havea chance to have a big year.
Of course, like most prognosticators who are wrong a whole helluva lot more than they're right, I like that you give yourself wiggle room with the injury qualification.

if you just flew in from Swan Lake. The upcoming meltdown that's likely to happen here will be quite the spectacle. People keep glossing over this OL depth issue and making mention of zero injuries throughout the year. Well, good luck with that. The schedule setups nicely and the defense is pretty strong but scoring points in conference (excluding OM of course) with a fragile offensive line and a new quarterback doesn't seem likely, considering the struggle in recent years.
Anyhow, I'm sure if 10 wins is reached we'll hear all about it from the author. If not, he willsurely produce alaundry list of reasons why it wasn't. I look forward to seeing that list.

I can't even begin to think what 10-2 is like and would never predict it. Glad C34 is willing to go out on a limb but 8-4 seems much more likely and would still be a good accomplishment for MSU. I am hoping like hell that Mullen surprises the rest of us who aren't as optimistic.
...what would the meltdown on Rebel boards be if those things came to pass? The only think y'all have to hang your hat on is that Mullen hasn't beaten anyone outside of Ole Miss in the West. You guys already have a severe case of penis envy. It will be hilarious if Mullen messes around and wins ten games next year.

Last season we had suffered 3 injuries to starters on the OL 9 Quarters into the season. That is very, very unlikely to happen this year.
Also, we have a little more depth than we had last season. Last year, we had none. This year, we have a few guys that can step in. And should they get their experience at a normal rate and dont have to move in and start in Game 2 or 3 because of injury- we will be fine. We dont lack for talent- we lack for experience on the OL.
If that happensthe spectacle will be just as great, I'm sure. I don't hang my hat on anything in regards to Mullen. He's a nice coach that has made progress with a program that was dreadful for almost an entire decade. We've had a couple of **** seasons, no doubt. But until that stretches to a full decade I'mnot going to get bent out of shape. I feel confident we can get back to a level of winning weaker non-conference games coupled with Vandy/Kentucky/Tennessee type wins. Lastly, there is no penis envy, trust me. </p>
This year, we have a few guys that can step in - Well hell, every team has guys that can step in. It doesn't mean they're worth a **** nor will they be productive. You're making assumptions here. Anytime you're making assumptions for a unit, especially OL, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Been there and done that plenty of times.
And should they get their experience at a normal rate and don't have to move in and start in Game 2 or 3 because of injury- we will be fine. - Again, with the assumptions. Which makes my overall point. If you're making this many assumptions and praying for no early injuries, in addition to the QB situation, and then turn around and predict a 10-win season you're just not very good at forecasting. If you were you'd factor that in for a8-9 win season and if you reach 10, great. Instead you look likean unkempt sheep, which blends in here nicely these days. Because that analysis read like a Cliff version of Bulldog Backer's predictions.

You're assuming that it won't all pan out, just like he's assuming it will. What is the mother 17ing difference? You say he's setting himself up for disappointment...he says he's setting himself up to be the only SOB that had the balls to predict 10-2 in an article and get it right. There's no wrong or right on this topic yet, so don't be a dipshit. Coming from a fan of a school that spent the last ten years predicting Heisman trophy winners and 10 win seasons, no less. I don't think we win 10, but who the 17 are you to tell him he's wrong? You have no clue.
"You're making assumptions here"
"Again, with the assumptions"
When predicting the future- arent assumptions the only f'ing thing you can make?
"in addition to the QB situation, and then turn around and predict a 10-win season you're just not very good at forecasting."
Our "quarterback situation" is about as good as it gets at Miss State. We have 2 QB's that can win football games for us. There has been many a season when we have had none

I've had a pretty good pulse on our teams for quite a while. Crooms got me in 2007 and then last season's OL injuries cost us some wins for sure.
2009- I had us at 6-6. We were a foot away from it
2010- I had us 8-4- we went 8-4
2011- 9-3, 10-2....OL injuries changed the direction of the season.
We'll see what 2012 has in store
You of all people calling someone a dipshit.
1. I didn't say it wouldn't all pan out. I said 8 possibly 9 wins myself. I just don't see where that 10th win is coming from. He's basically assuming that there will be no issues that can't be overcome. Could that happen? sure. I could also win the PowerBall. It's still not likely to happen. That's how you factor assumptions into forecast.
2. Yea, tons of balls it takes to make a prediction on the interwebs behind a message board moniker. He can't even attach hisname to it. I can only aspire to obtain that kind of courage. Maybe one day.
3. Yep, and I'm sure you ridiculed every Heisman and 10-win prediction too, right? With some balanced logic like "THose BEArz are sO DUMB!>!>!?"
4. Who am I to tell him he's wrong? First, I didn't tell him he was wrong. I said I didn't agree. We won't know whether he's wrong or not until the season ends. Secondly, I'm a GD message board genius just like him. That's who the hell I am.

Except you didn't seem to factor those into your outcome. You recognized the possibility,as afuture scapegoat, and then proceeded to assume the best cast scenario. It's just poor forecasting technique. But then again, it's just football prognostications and not people's lives here. I'm not losing any sleep. Just a difference of opinon.
For you to title your last post "That's rich" and then say, "you of all people calling someone a dipshit"....is, well, "rich" in of itself.
By the way, if I had ridiculed your Heisman and 10 win predictions you would have definitely seen it....because it would have been on a MSU board.
You may be the biggest tool to visit this board yet.

...we'd win 10 last year? I see that you are trying to back track and say it was 9-3 even though your post was 10 reasons why State wins 10 games...<div>

The reading comprehension on this board has declined since the invasion. At least in the past someone may not agree but they understood what the hell you were saying.
1. I wasn't setting anyone straight. It's just an opinon. That's the purpose of these things, right? It's like the GD USSR around here these days. Any dissenting opinion is mostly attacked with weak drivel, with the exception of a few. You didn't address anything I said.
2. I also didn't say Russell had never taken a meaningful snap. No. Where. I mentioned that there's a change in philosophy compared to the previous three years. Do you deny that? You think you can just plug and play? Considering the mediocre offensive showing in conference thus far, that's a stretch. Maybe it will happen, guess we'll see. </p>

We are Mstate, the best we can do this season is 9-3. Seriously people, this board will be intolerable this season if so many people predict 10-2, or even believe it will reasonably happen. Hope I'm wrong, but I highly doubt I am.
Hardly. Considering I wascalled a dipshit from one of the biggest dipshits on this board. You attack everyone non-conforming opinion on this board withanger that probably needs tending to. That **** is unhealthy. Any "fail" certainly fails on your cadaver, so to speak.
Yea, I'm sure you didn't have any commentary on those, considering you just brought them up. No, none whatesoever. Also, you only talk sports on message boards. Not with real humans outside of these boards?</p>

Get the 17 out of here with that "now I'm gonna play nice and act like you guys are just defensive" bull ****.
