I'm thinking worst case 4 wins, best case 7 wins

IMO, the addition of Mangino is worth at least 1 or 2 wins more than we would have had otherwise.

I hope we stroll into iowa city at 2-0. The CyHawk game could be a great one this year.

Not to mention beating Bill Snyder!

Most likely- 4 or 5 wins.

Best case- 6 wins IMO.

Anyone thinking more than 6 wins is just delirious IMO. The OL was pretty bad this year, and will still be pretty unproven next year. QB is still a big question mark. And defense was bad this year, and won't get much better next year either IMO. Sorry, those are the facts. We all know it.

I'm just hoping we can get past NDSU. If not, 3 wins or less could happen again. I said last year that UNI would be no picnic, and of course was ripped on here for doubting the beloved Cyclones. Well, we saw how that worked out for us.

Even after the UNI game there were some people still drinking the cardinal and gold kool aid for some reason, but we all saw how that worked out too. And now, just because we hire Mark Mangino as the OC, there are people on here claiming 7+ wins all of the sudden. Do we not learn? We constantly set ourselves up with high expectations, only to be let down.

6 wins would be a great year next year.

Just score more points and the chips will fall into place. I just want improvement from the train wreck last year.

Some of these predictions are kind of out there, just don't be ****** if it does not happen.
