We have a real shot at finishing 6-6 or even 7-5 before going to a bowl and possibly winning there. Yet everyone is still in meltdown mode? Anyone who said we would end the season 8-5 or 7-6 this year a few months ago were told they were crazy. 

We are not perfect
Our coach is not perfect

But you know what we have 2 more home games and an Orlando game we can be thankful for still ahead of us. Lets finish strong. 

Yes... But I predicted we'd win 9 games so I'm in a bit of a situation.  I need us to win out.. and yes... people did call me crazy, too. Said I was sipping on that Kool aid... :icon_drink: :GoBulls:

Sorry to disagree but we only have 2 games to prove we deserve a bowl. We need to beat either Temple or Cincy for us to be credible. If we lose to both and beat UCF, we don't deserve a bowl.  Like you

BTW, we've lost to: 7-2 FSU; 8-1 Memphis; and 7-1 Navy.  All really good teams.  Our only screw up is 2-7 Maryland.  We haven't had a shot at teams over .500 without them being really good.

I don't care what the naysayers are chanting. I'll support the team cheering at a bowl game! Go Bulls!

A lot of people on here, myself included, thought 5 wins was the ceiling for this team. The idea that they have 3 chances to pickup a 6th win and go bowling is awesome. Taggart has done a great job recruiting, and if he can continue to win a few games each year, it will only get better. A bowl game would be another step in the right direction. 

I'm really excited about the team's development and having quite a few guys return next year. It's going to be a long offseason, especially if it's not shortened a little bit by a trip to a bowl game.

Not for nothing, but, Cincy beat Miami, not Miami (OH), it was the U. Before their best LB went out, and with Kaaya at full strength... of course, that was in the Golden Era, so, not a huge difference.

I think Temple is winnable, I worry about Cincy because I am not sure that we have faced that kind of passing attack... Maybe Memphis and with more aggressive offensive playcalling, we should have won that one, so...

they beat the U by 11 and the RedHawks by 4. 

 

The key to Cincy is getting in Kiel's face and rattling him early.That kid can be scary good sometimes. But let's take care of the owlettes before worrying about the bearscats

Miami isn't all that hot this year. They are average at best.

Possible, but not probable. You are more likely to get to your 9 win prediction with a regular season loss and a bowl win. You are not out of it yet hang in there.

I think you may be mis-counting.  We have 5 wins and 3 games left, plus a bowl, and we'd need all of them to get to 9 (unless we also make it to the conference championship game.)

It's mathematically possible to get to 9 wins with a regular season loss, but it's less likely than winning out. Temple would have to lose to us, Memphis, and UConn, we'd have to back into the ccg and win it, then we'd have to win the bowl game.

Of course, I'm an optimist. I say let's win out, hope temple loses to Memphis, win the ccg, and win a bowl game to finally get to that elusive 10-win season.  Dreaming, but it's still technically possible.

Yeah you are right I did miss count.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
