Chances of Starting Out 0-5?

Post by SMU21TCU10 »

I say 25%. After our OOC we play Rutgers. Montana State sounds like they are pretty good. 1-4 probably more likely though. my prediction is 2-3.

The team is looking good according to the practice reports. I would say less than 10%.

But doesn't every team look good in spring practice? It's kinda like what every school says about their recruiting class or how NFL teams look in preseason games. You can't put much stock all that stuff.

Because the chance of starting 0-5 is 100x more likely than 5-0

I won't go so far to say there is a 100% greater chance this team starts 0-5 than 5-0, but the odds are probably in that 98-99% range.

just beat Tech and end the drought...please?

How about just worry about leaving the Tech game 1-0, and then go from there!

Don't we go into every year thinking that things are going to be really positive and we'll knock off one or two big 12 teams? We beat TCU once. Made a mad comeback to make t tech a game. I've spent a lot of time traveling to these out of conference games. Kind of tired of it.
