Check out ESPN's ISU Best Case

[Luth4Cy]

I kind of agree with the best and worst case in terms of wins and losses. Don't see Mangino's offense being so poor we switch to the wishbone though. Not completely sure if that was supposed to be a joke or not, Chatmon didn't use a jimlad.

I imagine there will be that one thread entitled, "We may be 6-0, but…"

That one begins with a book-length manifesto.

 

[ChiefCy]

if we win 9 games i will give up beer for...9 days.

I suggest revising this to pledging to drink at least nine a day.... well at least until they win 10 games.

Seems there's no middle of the road in these scenarios, as the most realistic area is the 4-7 win area, in which Rhoads has landed all but last season.

yeah, I'm a little upset that an article that's purpose is to look at the two extremes of a team's potential didn't go to the middle of the road!

I haven't had a beer since college. So I'll have one if we win 9 games.

Just seems like they exaggerated a lot one way, but left little error in the other.

Some of you guys need to quit taking things like this so seriously. Of course 12-0 is technically the best case scenario. I thought it was a fun read that showed pretty good knowledge of ISU and what it would take for them to win.

So...either way Texas Tech better watch out

LOL ya right. If we win 9 games, I'll wax my entire body.

I am trying to imagine some of the threads on this site if the football program starts 6-0... I just can't do it. Too unrealistic.

It's probably be led by Lakesbison saying "yeah, but if our wide receiver didn't drop that pass on fourth down, we would have beaten you guys instead of losing by 50 and you'd be 5-1".

5 win ceiling, folks

 

[khardbored]

I thought that picture of Mangino that said "expand" was kind of unfair ...

And here's some stats from ESPN to back that Best Case Scenario up:

http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/85533/stat-crunch-big-12-returning-production

We return 99% of our "passing yards" from last year.

The other 1% must be our best passer from last season, Kirby.

 

[NATEizKING]

I'd have dropped a win from the best case and a win from the worst case, 8-4 or 2-10.

 

[ExCyment]

Just seems like they exaggerated a lot one way, but left little error in the other.

I know, no way we just win three :spinny:

 

[CyOps]

Let's get "Forget Franklin" shirts ordered now. Just to beat the rush.

 

[Cyhart]

In the '99-00 season, our football team won 9 games and our hoops team won the Big 12 and made it to the Elite 8. Are we looking at an encore exactly 15 years later?! Sign me up!

Funny--the thought of going to the wishbone is kind of intriguing compared to what they've been attempting the last two years.

Why? With the schedule and the personnel we have, 9 wins is flat out not possible.
