compromise to changing favorite team to Oregon for the length of the bet agreement

That sounds reasonable.

Some things you hold dear and don't mess around with.

I understand. Some of us have confidence and are willing to back up what we say.

Others...

Others have things they don't mess around with. You have a 24 photo on your AVI. Kinda says you don't really care if you have to change it.

Again, I understand. It's clear that your previous air of confidence is wavering once stakes were introduced.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

What if we did "favorite teams" and $1000 vcash?

 

[trojanfan12]

but often times influenced by the analysts.

Especially when the analysts say silly shit like Oregon will have a better defense than Bama.

 

[trojanfan12]

Way more homer slanted in here

Especially when Ducks fans are posting.

 

[trojanfan12]

from 18 to 19 oregon went up in points per game. Oregons points per game in 17 was higher than both but in 19 they scored more total points. Oregon in 2016 was their worst year in decades and they were just outside top 25 in points per game.

And this has what to with 2020?

 

[Deep Creek]

LOL gotta love this trash talk @Deep Creek however it will pale in comparison during UTEP vs UT hate week in September

We get a good paycheck though!

Well ya of course

But then again one of you thinks SC is a top 10 team — LMAO

Talent-wise they are.

Coaching holds them back.

Recruiting last 4 years national ranking

2017 = 4th
2018 = 4th
2019 = 19th
2020 = a billionth

The older kids need to improve

Last I saw, we were ranked #16. Forget which poll.

To be completely honest, I'm not sure what to expect.

There is a ton of excitement about the team, but most of that is centered around how the 2021 recruiting class is looking. Not sure how that helps 2020.

I can see USC finishing anywhere from 11-1 to 8-5.

They'll probably split the difference and finish about 9-3 which should put them somewhere in the 8-12 range especially if they win the CCG to go 10-3.

I'd be shocked if we beat Bama. I just don't want to see them get embarrassed like last time.

I think Oregon, Washington and Notre Dame could go either way.

I think we go 2-1 in those games. I lean Oregon on that one because the game is at Autzen. If it were at the Coliseum, I would lean USC. We'll likely get a rematch for the CCG. It'll be interesting to see what happens there since it'll be a neutral site.

We get Washington and the Domers at home, I think we win both of those.

We're on the road for Stanford and Utah, I think we drop one of those.

The 2 big question marks for me are the o-line and the defense overall. The o-line has a lot coming back, but they weren't very good last year, so I'm not certain that's a good thing.

The defense will be the key, imo. Even if the o-line isn't much better than last year, unless Slovis is the ultimate 1 year wonder, I don't think there's a team in the nation with better overall skill players. So as socaljim says, scoring points shouldn't be an issue.

The defense has talent, Pendergast wasn't great at adjusting and it cost them. If Orlando is better than Pendergast at adjustments, we should be okay...but they're learning a new system and integrating some guys who've been out injured for a couple of seasons.

I think theres only four seniors starters. Young team.

Hopefully not this year. Helton himself hasn't been the issue. In all of the shit that's happened, he's never lost the team.

The problem has been that he was too loyal to assistant coaches who weren't getting the job done.

All of those coaches are gone and every one of the new guys looks to be an upgrade. Hopefully, we'll see that on the field.

If my avi was a TV show I guess I'd be willing to bet too because I obviously don't care that much.lol

Can't wait to see Slovis with these WRs. Highest rated passer in the country on throws over 20 yards.
