Reasonable Football Expectations

[Jiub]

Guys,

I know that we have been doing a good job recruiting with this new football staff, but we are still Iowa State. Have your nutcups ready for the football season. Please. Otherwise the meltdown will be that much worse.

 

[Rabbuk]

4 wins.

 

[TNT]

4-6 wins

 

[jdoggivjc]

14-0 or fire Matt.

 

[CycloneErik]

14-0 or fire Matt.

Bring on 'Bama.
And the Chiefs, too.

 

[Stormin]

4 to 6 wins. OL play is the key.

 

[Wally86]

Mods ban the OP. He want CF to be reasonable. We can't have that!

Someone won't like the entrance music.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Someone won't like the entrance music.

That's guaranteed.

I think people are really excited about the new coaching staff, but I think most are really conservative about their expectations for this season. Maybe more so than in years past given all the key players we have returning.

I'd rather go into football season hoping for 6 wins than going in hoops season fearful of not winning at least 26.

There will still be many people who say "There is no reason for this team not to win 6 games" so this thread is pretty futile

 

[CyCloned]

4 wins seems reasonable based on the unexpected losses in the OL. If they had Burton and the guy that bailed to GA, then I would expect more.

 

[Lafaester54]

Would be happy and encouraged with 3-5 wins. Certainly hoping to see us competitive in all the games. Something like 35-17 to the Better teams without folding up in the second half would look encouraging to me. To see the OL get better as the season progresses would be a good sign of the future. Finish the season strong, fight till the end.

 

[Cydkar]

3-4 wins per Vegas which seams reasonable.

 

[Cydkar]

There will still be many people who say "There is no reason for this team not to win 6 games" so this thread is pretty futile

And those people don't understand football. I don't think there's many who actually think that.
6 is possible but there are plenty of reasons why it could come up short. OL as mentioned...by everyone.

So is this thread a preemptive meltdown thread?
