I'll take Kyle's word over a bunch of classless motherfuckers hiding behind their computers. That's for sure.

Thanks for that. Best compliment I have received today. Would I improve my odds if I left my mom's basement, or made my own PB&J?PhilBleenor said:I'll take Kyle's word over a bunch of classless motherfuckers hiding behind their computers. That's for sure.

Damone is so right and the highlighted part is really correct. I was willing to let this year "play out" even though I knew Sark sucks. That Illinois game showed me this is a 7 win team.MikeDamone said:I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised by Sankey. It was obvious what he could do last year when used correctly. The offense will put up 30ish points per game against pretty much anyone...the issue...once again...wait for it..... is the defense. Against decent pac-12 offenses this D will give up 30ish a game. Oregon will be in the 40's or 50's. The interior DL just isn't able to control the line of scrimmage and that puts too much pressure on the DBs against fast teams like Oregon and UCLA. Stanford will have their way with them.
The question is: will the offense be able keep up in high scoring games? And then there are always the games where everyone stays on the bus and a team like Arizona (2012) or Ore St (2011) that should be sure wins end up being embarrassing losses.
I still see this as a 7 win team. I don't think we need to play the "we won't know until they play team X to find out how good they are" game. We know. Above average to very good offense. average defense, average coaches...combined will yield a special average 2013 season.
We'll start off 4-0 but finish with 7-6. I expect the ASU game be a game everyone on here picks us to win and we get our asses kicked.
Then I see the Oregon State game being another typical Sark road game where we lose to an inferior opponent.
This season will play out like 2011. -
I don't see Arizona as a gimme. I could easily see us losing that game. And I've got the Huskies at 8-5 right now.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Arizona is 50/50. So is OSU on the road. The only gimme is this week. I would say Colorado is a 81% win. Cal is a 69% win.DerekJohnson said:

I don't see them winning 5 games in league. Oregon, Stanford, UCLA...that's 3 loses. ASU on the road is 75% a loss, maybe 71%. OSU and AZ are 50%. They will drop one of those two. -
The season is over

I love how after a good game its LIFPO, but after a mediocre win we can't LIFPO.
Arizona at home will be no problem. Win all the games you should plus OSU (who can't run the ball and has a terrible defense) thats 8 wins right there. Beat Stanford, ASU or UCLA and thats 9. Bowl game is 10. -
Great homer analysis as always.HeretoBeatmyChest said:I love how after a good game its LIFPO, but after a mediocre win we can't LIFPO.

Should win 10, but bc of Sark if I had to bet I'd go with 9-4. -
We actually almost agree, except that I think it will be 8-5.HeretoBeatmyChest said:
