I'm optimistic. 6-6 with a shot at 7-5 in the 4th qtr if we get the breaks. Position groups carry their weight with coaches exceeding our expectations. I know it's a lot to ask for but why not.

I think we beat the O/U (at least I hope we do), but I'm not willing to make many guesses past that. We'll know how our season is going to go week 2 vs ECU on the road (thanks again Tanner for scheduling that one.... )

I’m the biggest Tanner hater here
Was actually verbally abused on CT for questioning him being hired in the first place
But I kinda like an away game at ECU. That’s an awesome atmosphere and ECU fans are the rowdiest CFB fans in NC.

I’d much rather that than a shitty neutral site game in BOA against them.

Now for winning purposes, yea it sucks, but whatever it’s a 3-4 win season

Jesus. We're not all that good but we better be able to beat EIU, ECU, Troy, and Vandy at least.

I kind of like it as a one-off.

And didn't we schedule this ECU series a long, long time ago? Like 2 in Columbia, 2 in Charlotte, and 1 in Greenville, but the Greenville game got bumped from its original date because the rescheduling when A&M and Mizzou came on board I think.

In 2014 we agreed to a 5 game series with 2 scheduled trips to Greenville actually.
We got out of that one in 2019 with a buyout (because of the UNC game in Charlotte)

I like the game, but going to Greenville feels like a trap and has me nervous.

Odds for Tennessee and Auburn before season starts?

You mean what’s the spread of our game with them?
Or their O/U wins?
Or the odds of them winning the title?

Assuming you mean their O/U
Auburn: 7
Tennessee: 6

I'm predicting 3-9.

Muschamp just left too many position groups bare for us to pull off a meaningful turnaround in one year, and that talent gap will unfortunately be obvious early on.

I do think we'll keep it close in a lot of games and will sneak out a late season SEC win.

I want our team to get back into a position where we can have some 2013 prediction threads.

It’ll probably never happen

We’ve won a total of three times in Knoxville. 05, 11, and 17. We could/should have lost all three.

One of our best teams lost to a really shitty team there in 13.

Why do you think we’ll win there this year?
