I just don't see us at 6-6, but one of those wins better be against TSUN
6-6 should be considered a failure with what we have returning and an elite head coach on the sidelines in his third year. Tough schedule my ass.
And Birmingham is so lovely that time of year *****Quote:

My thoughts on our chance for records (like it matters):
7-5 (45%)
8-4 (25%)
6-6 (20%)
9-3 (5%)
Anything else (5%)
I agree that 6-6 would be a failure as it would essentially be a step back from year 2 with more overall talent for year 3. However, I would attend the Birmingham Bowl because I actually like Birmingham and think there is more to do that Jacksonville or St. Pete or even Memphis. But I think Nashville should be the floor, with Tampa, Houston and Jacksonville in that mix for The Dawgs.Quote:

Any chance they move the bowl to the new UAB stadium?
Already played thereQuote:

That's just unacceptable in year three with the experience we have returning and an elite head coach on the sidelines.Quote:

False. If we go 8-4 or 9-3 and one of those losses is to Ole Miss, he isn’t going anywhere. I’d almost put 7-5 on the table as well.Quote:

100% agree. I love Leach but he needs to update his scheme. A true dual threat QB with a good arm and that can run like a gazelle would put this offense on a different level.Quote:

Totally agree. Will might be running a little more this year.Quote:
