[Vyle203]

You've been eagerly waiting for this one, huh?

I may have the circled the calender.

Hey we're both Irish fans. No wonder we get along

 

[bksballer89]

Realistic expectations this year? 8 or 9 wins I guess.

We have UGA, MSU, USC, Stanford, and Miami on our schedule. Anything more than 9 wins seems like an amazing season

I didn't know this about you. It helps me move past the poor choices you've made in the baseball and basketball teams you root for.

8 seems reasonable to me. I think that would be a remarkable turnaround considering all the changes that have been made.

11-1. Worst case 10-2. 9-4 (counting bowl) Kelly is gone

I love your optimism

I love your optimism

I'm a big believer in Wimbush. And if Elko could make Wake Forrest's defense as good as it has been with that talent, he should be able to do much better with ND's talent. If we can minimize the injuries and avoid anything stupid by the players and Kelly decides to utilize the O-line to establish a running game, I think 10-2 or 11-1 is possible.

Can Kelly also start utilizing the TE? And stop putting so much pressure on the QB?

I think Alize is going to be a BIG part of the offense this year.

I think having Alize Jones (Mack) back will help a lot. Establishing the running game will definitely help take pressure off the QB.

Which the running game should be pretty special with those 3 guys behind this line.

So, do you guys usually do a yearly thread or just individual game threads?

Depends on the game. Feel free to start a thread every time you get so pissed off you can't stand it.

I could get banned for the amount of threads I would be making.

Try, you'll probably have a lot of us join in.

Does anyone know why Alize Changed his name?

We do one for each game but its usually in the main college thread.
