I really hope I’m wrong but 1-5 looks like the likely start to the first half of this season. Does our recruiting class hold up to that? Does Herman hold up to that?

Let's just say if that happens we'll have a brand new overpaid coach to hate on a weekly basis 

mulletpellini's 3-3 forecast for us now seems like a best-case scenario...

Is KSU supposed to be good this year?

So would have the Longhorns if Saturday's game was in Austin.

We’ve won @KSU twice since the formation of the Big 12. Are they supposed to be good? I don’t know. Are we good?

They could be having a down year. Maybe they have a young team. Hell I don't know. We might be ok if Herman takes over the playcalling and Sam stops acting concussed.

yea so 2-4 with wins over Tulsa and KSU that was booed at home is better?

Don't know why everyone is giving Texas an auto win against Tulsa.  That kind of crap is bulletin board material for those guys.

Remember Kansas and Strong?  Never happen right?  Some of you are just to stuck up on " We're Texas" and we will win.  Not so much now days.

IMO, Yes it's better than 1-5.

It gets even more interesting after Dallas. We still have OSU, West Virginia, Iowa State, and Tech in Lubbock.

 

The magnitude of some of the losses ahead should be interesting. There are multiple teams that are very sharp offensively like USC, OU, WV, Ok State, and TCU that could quickly turn into blowouts given our tendency to go 3 and out and give up big plays on defense.

I think it's unlikely that we'll be 1-5. Teams usually aren't as bad as they seem in losses. I'd guess 3-3 as the most likely record. 

texas can beat USC and KSU if few mistakes/penalties

They struggled with South Dakota. I like our chances.

It doesn't really matter against ouija board coach.

Link to the bulletin board material? Please dont say its message board links to here.

South Dakota was an FCS Playoff team last year so it isn't like they are total garbage. As has been demonstrated time and time again, on the field, top FCS teams are just as good as decent G5 and low level P5 squads. I wouldn't read too much into K State struggling with them, especially as it relates to the matchup with Texas.

KSU torched Texas with Delton on the ground last year in a similar fashion to what Maryland had done a few weeks before. In case y'all all just blacked out on Saturday, those issues are alive and well on the defensive side of the ball. KSU will be a much better prepared and coached team, and Texas under Herman continues to snatch defeat fro the jaws of victory. Dismissing KSU is silly. It is probably going to be a relatively close game. You trust this group and this staff in a close game, on the road, against a vastly better prepared/coached and more disciplined opponent? One that also happens to employ a scheme that has proven to be an Achilles heel of sorts for Orlando? One that will almost certainly be an underdog? Can anyone say yes to that question with a straight face?

Silver lining, assuming Texas does lose @KSU, the loss will make for an... interesting storyline in 2020: Freshmen on that roster will not have seen a Texas win in Manhattan in their entire life.

Agreed. This shitty team will find a way to hang around most games, so we'll likely win a couple. Will probably be a lot like last year in that regard.

I don't think anyone is dismissing KSU at all.  Just saying that they are beatable, which is very different than our chances against OU, TCU, and USC.  I'd like to think KSU is a 50/50 but I'm not sure I like out odds that much.

This is going a little crazy. This season Im sure will be a lot like last season. We jerk off and wind up with a bad loss to a shit Maryland but then come a stupid Ehlinger fumble away from beating USC with Darnold on the road. We come one blown coverage away from beating OU with Mayfield. We come one stupid Ehlinger interception away from beating OSU with senior QB Rudolph. 

All those teams are probably worse this year and I'm sure we'll find a way to have a shot to win those games and others.

Now do Ehlinger and Mensa dumb fuck away those games? Probably some of them.

otherwise, we're in really good shape!

A lot of our players are getting clowned on social media. Especially Breckyn Hager. He’s hated by multiple fan bases. Hopefully it motivates them.

We are not going fucking 1-5, so just stop that bullshit.

You know maybe, just maybe, it was Maryland who thought they were scheduling the cupcake, and not us.

Our d'line is not very good,  especially the ends.  

Really hurts the rest of the defense.  

We have traditionally struggled in the little Apple. I don’t see why that changes now. It’s a tough stretch we have. It’s been a long time since we beat TCU. And my confidence level right now is not very high.

You're missing the comanche big time.

Not like it gets that much easier after blowu. It's Baylor, OSU, WVU. A 1-5 team ought to lose two or three of those...

I doubt this team is better than 5-7....not sure where we'll lose the other 6 but confident in its inevitability

 I cringe thinking about that little midget running circles around our D line. Hopefully they get their shit together by then

Are they ever? Yet we get beat with regularity by them.

I'd say 4-2 is still possible, hell UT just knocked off OU a few years ago as a huge underdog, USC & TCU are both replacing quarterbacks, the Wizard is still in Manhattan tho...

Are you talking about Herman, Beck, or Ehlinger here?

I'm a huge pessimist, but I doubt we go 1-5.  I know, on paper, it appears possible or even probable, but I doubt we're as bad as we think.  Who knows though.

Look, I get it because I don't think this team is ready for prime time.  The bulletin board material is all over this forum, we will win against Tulsa with little to no effort.  Look at the game predictions.

I just don't know about this team, don't see the confidence on the field.  We will probably blow them out and we should but this attitude of we just take the field and win, nope not going to happen.  It used to but not anymore.  College football is just getting more competitive.  

I am just as guilty as the next thinking we will mop the floor with everyone because we are Texas.  Maryland this year slapped me and I woke up, thought we would pummel those guys in a 50 to something route for revenge.  

 

 

Not that I like it, but we had the exact same conversation last year. And we ended up 3-3, and far exceeded everyone's expectations at USC and vs OU.

I immensely dislike you in the same way that I immensely dislike the people who tell me that I'm going to die sooner than I should because I smoke too much, drink too much, and eat too much red meat. Basically, I hate you because I really, really want you to be wrong, but even if you're wrong about part of it, you're still probably mostly right.

At least I'm enjoying the hell out of all the smoking, drinking, and eating.

Edit: I will say that I think the class holds up just fine. Recruits tend not to pay as much attention to this as fans do. At least, most of them do.

Yep.  Tulsa only had 2 wins last year, but they did beat the crap out of Houston and played USF close.  They also lost to OK state 59-24.  We lost to OK state 13-10.  No surprise Tulsa's offense outplayed ours against a common defense.  No idea what they bring back or whats new for them, but they are capable of beating us.  

If we do lose to Tulsa, Herman should have to go back to OK on their team bus with them.

Could easily start this season 0-6.  I think we start 0-5 and then upset OU though.
