You are going to be very disappointed after this season.

Ha! Hardly. If my predictions are even halfway met I will be an extremely happy fan.

4-8 will make you extremely happy?

 

[bozclone]

This is awesome. I too think we need to be a very high scoring team to be competitive at Iowa State. I don't know if 8-4 is possible, but I would love to see us play a brand of football that more resembles our basketball team than the conservative brand of football we are used to playing. Spread the field, create mismatches, and put an emphasis on scoring points over defense. This has worked at both Baylor and Texas Tech. Both those programs were pretty bad not that long ago. Now they are feared opponent on anyone's schedule.

Well our last offense was designed to do just that.

4-8 would be my more realistic prediction. Of course, most people think that's a stretch.

I don't know if it's a stretch or not, but it would be a disappointing record at this point.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I don't know if it's a stretch or not, but it would be a disappointing record at this point.

Definitely not what anyone in the fan base should be expecting at this point, but a step in the right direction nonetheless.

 

[Section136]

Well that was amusing at best.

Realistic optimism. I would take that in 2 seconds.

A couple close ones slip (KSU and Iowa, neither of which would be a surprise as near-miss early in the year). Balanced by close win vs. Tech and road win vs. TCU to get another minor bowl ... considering a 2-5 start, that'd be encouraging for 2015.

Even the blowouts are minimal, and "respectable."

OK, I was extremely bored at work today and quickly compiled a game-by-game breakdown of Iowa State's football season. I realize that in no way is it realistic, and I'll just say it before you all crucify me. It is essentially a best case scenario/fantasy-land dream of how I would like our football season to play out. I could have taken it much further, but I slammed on the brakes a little.

I had stats for individual games, but since the file was huge, I limited it to just overall season statistics. Stats are attached, I've got game by game scores here:

Iowa State 44 NDSU 17
Iowa State 37 Kansas State 34
Iowa State 35 Iowa 31
Baylor 54 Iowa State 42
Oklahoma State 48 Iowa State 30
Iowa State 55 Toledo 14
Iowa State 46 Texas 43 (OT)
Oklahoma 45 Iowa State 24
Iowa State 56 Kansas 21
Iowa State 47 Texas Tech 42
Iowa State 45 West Virginia 39 (OT)
TCU 34 Iowa State 24 (out of gas finally)

For those of you keeping track at home, that's an 8-4 finish, 5-4 Big 12 record. I included a bowl game against no opponent specifically, which we win incidentally (homer, sue me).

I was so bored all I could dream about was how Mangenius is going to turn this offense around, and I probably got a little too excited. I obviously don't account for injuries not to mention really having no clue what the actual depth chart will be. Oh well, it was fun.

If Rohach throws 42 TDs Ill suck someone's ****

Bold

Not really. He is betting Rohach doesn't average 3.5 TD's per game. Pretty safe.

I'll bet you $100 this does not happen.

-3-12 for the year. Pretty confident we win 3 or under this year.
-Next year we may win 4 games if we are lucky.
-Prediction we don't win a bowl game for at least a decade.
-Rhoads is fired and replaced by Mangino in 5 years

But regardless of our team sucking so much that they lose to Kansas (only scoring a field goal in the entire game), I will enjoy the season until basketball starts.

I would put down money saying that we won't go 3-12. I don't see that happening.
