Yeah, I'm at a loss for words.

All spring and summer the "numerical ninjas" (450, 1016, 87, and 1987) kept killing folks who were concerned this year's roster wasn't up to standards. After the exit of the transfers, we've been told by the ninjas that Tubby has weeded out the malcontents, got "his" guys in place, and that this mix of frosh and grown ass JUCO are going to surprise some people.

Now one of them is predicting an 8-5 ooc record with losses to Albany and NKU at HOME.

Albany was 15-17 last year. Yeah, they return all five starters...FROM A 15-17 TEAM. Good lord.

lol
I said the team won't make the tourney until year 3. If they do so this year I would be pleasantly surprised.

Way to twist ppl's words. Keep up the good work.

What's your ooc record prediction? So no one can put words into your mouth.

Give him a break he didn't bother showing up for the fantasy football draft.

Must have gotten caught up at Costco with the coconut oil and all.

Damn dude...had a personal situation so I couldn't show up. If you have a problem, PM me next time.
Btw, go ahead and kick me out the league....SMH

Alabama top 50
Little Rock 250
UNO 250
NKU 100
UAB 150
Mercer 150
Samford 150
Bryant 300
Albany 100
Louisville top 10
Siena 200
Loyola 200
LSU 100

Based upon expectations, the Tigers will be sitting around 125. So 8-5 with losses to Bama, NKU, Albany, Lville, LSU. We could steal one against anyone except Louisville, but we could lose one at UAB.

Wow. 8-5 with that garbage non-conference schedule? I might be in for a rude awakening.

I think you prolly went on autopick and got better players than I did. Autopick just drafts the best of the ones you need. But I had a draft plan--pick the ones with names I liked, so I grabbed

Total cop out.

Last year there were uncertainties because Tubby only chose to field a team with eight scholarship players.

This year, there are 11 guys on the team.

I would imagine no one had any problem with expectations and predictions

in 2010 when Joe, Chris, Tarik, Will, and Antonio were coming into the fold.


As for my outlook, I simply go by the the fact Memphis will be favored in 10 games, a dog in two and likely a pick'em in one.

So, 10-3--11-2 at best, 9-4 at worst, which includes losing a game they shouldn't. Even though we have a HOF coach who shouldn't be letting his players lose to inferior teams.

Haven't you & most of the other miserables whining about Tubby picked Memphis to have a losing record this year? If so with your OOC prediction Memphis can only win about 5 conference games to have a losing record. You sure about that?

Nope. Just part of your agenda of not actually having a knowledgeable give and take and just taking the most extreme response to otherwise developed thoughts of others.

I have a prediction somewhere here about where I think Memphis will land in conference (I want to say somewhere between 8-10 and 10-8).

I NEVER have once stated Memphis will have a losing record because simply based on the fact there are about 15 bobo games on the schedule, it will be impossible to do that.

And that is consistent with how I gauged last year. At one point last year Memphis was 15-5. People were raving about Memphis having such a great record and how this proved what a great coach Tubby was. My only response was not to judge the record in a vacuum but to literally look at each game and figure out if Memphis should have won the game. After doing that, anywhere from 14-6 to 16-4 was quite realistic. Basically the team was right on expectations.

I see this year's team being anywhere from (total worst case) 17-14 to (total best case of) 21-10 with 19-12 being where I would say.

No agenda really just wasn't sure if you had gone to the level of chicken little as some of the others. Honestly, I agree with your predictions - somewhere between 17-14 & 21-10 is about right. I think I may have said previously that a record about like last season or slightly worse or slightly better without giving numbers.

That applies to you as well to an extent although of course you like any other individual would disagree.

I predict a losing record based on reasons I previously enumerated and predictions to date from independent media members for a ninth place finish.

Nope. Just part of your agenda of not actually having a knowledgeable give and take and just taking the most extreme response to otherwise developed thoughts of others.

I have a prediction somewhere here about where I think Memphis will land in conference (I want to say somewhere between 8-10 and 10-8).

I NEVER have once stated Memphis will have a losing record because simply based on the fact there are about 15 bobo games on the schedule, it will be impossible to do that.

And that is consistent with how I gauged last year. At one point last year Memphis was 15-5. People were raving about Memphis having such a great record and how this proved what a great coach Tubby was. My only response was not to judge the record in a vacuum but to literally look at each game and figure out if Memphis should have won the game. After doing that, anywhere from 14-6 to 16-4 was quite realistic. Basically the team was right on expectations.

I see this year's team being anywhere from (total worst case) 17-14 to (total best case of) 21-10 with 19-12 being where I would say.

That applies to you as well to an extent although of course you like any other individual would disagree.

No, because I give reasons based in something for my predictions. Many others just spout off generalities. So to speak, I "show my math." You might disagree with my answers, but I at least show how I got there.

Last year there were uncertainties because Tubby only chose to field a team with eight scholarship players.

This year, there are 11 guys on the team.

I would imagine no one had any problem with expectations and predictions

in 2010 when Joe, Chris, Tarik, Will, and Antonio were coming into the fold.


As for my outlook, I simply go by the the fact Memphis will be favored in 10 games, a dog in two and likely a pick'em in one.

So, 10-3--11-2 at best, 9-4 at worst, which includes losing a game they shouldn't. Even though we have a HOF coach who shouldn't be letting his players lose to inferior teams.

Haven't you & most of the other miserables whining about Tubby picked Memphis to have a losing record this year? If so with your OOC prediction Memphis can only win about 5 conference games to have a losing record. You sure about that?

Emotionalized thinking and reacting doesn't take work. lol. And Intuition requires neutrality. Spouting off is pretty much the norm.

Work is hard.

As I said you like anyone else would disagree but IMO you are also guilty of "just taking the most extreme response to otherwise developed thoughts of others" as well. You are not an exception to the behavior that you claim others exhibit. Keep up the good work though. I like reading your posts generally.
