Looking at the schedule, here's what I see.
Nonconference:
Wins (7/8) - Buffalo, MVSU, PVAMU, SHSU, ARK-PB, McNeese, UNT - Lost by 20 at home, UTPA
Toss-up - Rice - Win, Missouri State - Loss, SMU - Loss, Houston - Win
Losses (1/1) - Oklahoma
Best case scenario: 10-3
Worst case scenario: 9-4
Analysis - A&M, Missouri State, Virginia, and SMU are in a 4-team tournament in Corpus. If we beat Missouri State (decent quality MVC team), we play Virginia. If we lose to Missouri State, we play SMU and possibly go 0-2 there. I just don't see where we get our offense this year with Elston Turner and Ray Turner both gone. Kennedy has managed to shite the bed at home in nonconference against an inferior opponent every year (Rice in 2011, Southern in 2012) so you know it'll either be Rice or Houston.
Conference Play
Wins (3/6) - Arkansas, Mississippi State, lost in Starkville...not nice, South Carolina, Vanderbilt BAD loss, Loss to Auburn
Toss ups - at South Carolina - loss, at Georgia - loss, at Vanderbilt - loss, at Missouri - loss, Alabama - Win, Ole Miss - win, Tennessee - Tennessee:Kennedy :: Kansas St:Slocum
Losses (3/5) LSU - win, at LSU, at #3 Florida, at #14 Kentucky, won in Knoxville-nice
Best case scenario: 13-5
Worst case scenario: 6-12
Analysis - Arkansas can't win on the road and can't lose at home. All the toss-up teams are bipolar.
Overall prediction:
Another 7-11 conference season. Coupled with a 9-4 nonconference record = 17-15 and another year with no postseason. Same song, different verse.

All I can say is at least Acie Law and Gillespie made up for Fran and Year 1 Sherman while I was in school. At least I didn't have to watch abortions in both of these sports during my student days.

bump. Still no change to predictions.

Another bump, no change to prediction.

quote:Missouri State will be without two of their starters when they take on A&M, including their 2nd and 4th leading scorer.
If we beat Missouri State (decent quality MVC team)
Also, does anyone know how many points A&M has to score before everyone present wins something from Cane's?
Earlier in the APB game, the crowd was chanting, "We want chicken."
The chant seemed to motivate the players.

Changed best case scenario pick to 10-3. We're almost guaranteed to lose to Oklahoma.

Oops.

Still standing by my 10-3 at best non-conference prediction.

Quoting so this can't get "updated" like your nonconference predictions.

Calling it a loss now. The only way the Aggies hit worst-case scenario (9-4) in non-conference is if they completely collapse against UNT or UTPA...which is COMPLETELY possible with this coach.

I hate being right. :(
Posted on 1/4/14 at 5:34 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
Completely accurate thusfar.
Posted on 1/8/14 at 9:34 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
8/9 on projected wins, 1/1 on projected losses, 2/4 on tossups (which by the very definition is a perfect record).

Still only got the UNT game wrong (and no one saw that coming...well not against UNT anyway).
Posted on 1/11/14 at 7:05 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
That was actually a better win than at Kentucky last year. Showed great anti-Sherman character. Still standing by my 7 win prediction.

Rolling with it until it stops working.
Posted on 1/19/14 at 2:34 am to CGSC Lobotomy
Still on track for 7-11, 17-15 overall.
Posted on 1/21/14 at 9:54 pm to CGSC Lobotomy
Calling this one early. Still no change to predictions.
