Nope I've been saying 3 or 4 wins all offseason
Picked 4-8, and think I'm a little on the optimistic side.

Dude did we even argue CSU football? I'm pretty sure we've been arguing CSU basketball? We argue so much I can't even remember anymore :lol:

In with a cautiously optimistic 3-9

After reading this thread I decided to vote for 11-1 since someone in this thread has to be positive.

Your team will be visiting my town Sept. 7th. And then Boulder Oct. 5th. Look forward to getting Oregon off the CU football schedule for a couple years (nothing personal, I'm just trying to get some winnable games here).
Part of me wants Oregon to blow UVA's doors off. I'm not a big "rah rah win one for the conference guy", but there's a whole lot of "Pac-12 is overrated" talk going on around here.
It's been a bit (a lot) of both :lol:

Welcome back
+1. I think we are going to struggle early against the weak competition and then just not have enough against the PAC.

1-11.
The O-line is inexperienced and perpetually underachieving which will negate the rest of offense looking somewhat tolerable. D-line and and corner should be okay but the linebacking corps and safeties are weak enough that we'll see far too many "gashers".
The main thing I want to see this season is a stop to the blowouts. I want to this team to fight to the bitter end. No more of our opponents playing second stringers in the 3rd quarter. A win against this team needs to be a hard win.
The second thing I want to see is how MacIntyre's recruits play. With the way recruiting has been going he needs to prove that his eye for under-the-radar talent extends to the Pac-12. This will be much more important in 2014 but still worth keeping an eye on.

Hi all first time thread poster here!! Long, long time CU fan! I spent 2 years at CU and 3 at UCD, during the late 80's and early 90's respectively! I will seem like the Delphi Oracle here with this assessment,but, I know my football better than the dilettantes out there, that will be transparent in the ensuing posts! I am some what in the Milieu of games won 3/9 abutment to 6/6 mercurial of all ills! Suffice to say I was quite flummoxed by W/B perfunctory year two and have NO caveat emptor with Mac2, he will live up to his perception!!! Now that I've put down my Rogues down for you Conventionalist! Can I speak freely?? CU will shock some and be the PAC 12 story of this year! Here is why; CU offensive line will be better only because "The Pistol Offense" allows less talented skill set players to zone block, w/ mis-directional plays, keeping the front 7 constantly 2nd guessing, as apposed to "Power" straight ahead blocking schemes. We will see an major improvement on O because of this,enmity set aside from the majority here, this is the offense W/B should have instituted from day one! This sys allows less talent to play with the big boys and is more of a program builder starters kit. Ebo was too stupid to see this... CU 6-6 yhis year wins over CSU,Central Arky,Ore St, AZ, USC,UT
interesting first post. Do you see any problems with players that have never zone blocked before? And if it is so easy, why are the players struggling so far in camp?

Because the pistol Offense has NOT been instituted to completion yet, that's why 
. We've seen the foundation being framed, the correct line calls still in catharsis up till now, which happens when you switch schemes and coaches thru proxy!! But once the game plan is implemented and 20-30 plays are drilled thru them for the next 11 days, you'll see! This sys is MUCH easier terminology,audibles,easier reads/calls at the line and best of all NO KEYSTONE COPS DOING A CHINESE FIRE DRILL:thumbsup:

Alabama hired Greg Brown, so the problem can't be the coaching. 0-12.

Shut your **** sucker, Ke$ha.
Weird question. But if you're referring to the Greg Brown reference, Brown is the DB coach at Bama
Yeah that was the point. Brown is a good position coach, that's why he got hired by Alabama and Nick Saban, he is however a awful coordinator.
2-10 - All indications are that the team looks improved over last year, but I don't know that means much. I think it's gonna be a long, tough road to get back to respectability.
