2020 Football Season Prediction

At least Jimbo is using seemingly untraceable cash rather than cars that can be driven to other cities for four years.

Ahh....my first car was a Cutlass Supreme.
I hear they are becoming collectors items.

Don't know about the Cutlass, but there is a guy that used to live in Houston, but now out in Austin County. He claims that Meyer told him to go meet some guy and get two suitcases from him, them go get the car and drive it to Sealy with the luggage in back.

FWIW, the Aggies dispute that claim. Ron Meyer said they never saw the car, just used it as blackmail to stop A&M from turning them in.

The one I'm referencing had t-tops as I recall. That was a specific request.

I requested mine with custom plates, blacked out windows, slammed about 5 inches, a Nakamichi deck w/4 Rockford Fosgate Punch 15s and a 1000+watt amp w crossover, some trues and vogues, and about 20 gallons of Armor All.

Off topic, but that photo of the '81-'83 Cutlass brought back memories... I'm a car guy from way back.

My first new car after college in first job was a factory ordered dark metallic blue 1979 Cutlass Supreme V8 with a tan Landau top and a camel colored cloth interior, sunroof, white letter tires. Gawd I loved that car. Sadly sold it to a friend years later when I changed jobs and got a company car.

Good memories...

Blue was a little darker than this:

In case your prediction included a loss to TCU, it was discovered during cornonavirus-related testing that their QB Max Duggan has a genetic defect which could cost him the season

I feel a little bad now for calling him Doogie Howser

TCU doesnt scare me....especially at home....with or without Max Duggan.
Now if it was Jim Duggan that would be another story.

All this talk has got me thinking I might enter the market for one

So South FLA and LSU are out, leaving 10 games. Updated as per schedule:

UTEP - 100%
TT - 67%
TCU - 33%
OU - 25%

Bye 100%, though it'll take some concentration to make this happen.

So, that totals up to 2.25 wins after 4 games. 4-0 would be fantastic, and would trend towards a 9-1 year. 3-1 is still good, with a split of TCU / OU. 2-2 is bad, and would trend towards a 6-4 ish season. This 4 game package will set the tone for the year.

Baylor - 67%.
OSU - 33%
WVU - 67%

Another bye week. So by then, on a risk weighted basis, 3.9 wins. If that's the case, and Texas is 4-3 at this point, expect much gnashing of teeth on this board, and predictions of doom for the rest of the season.

Which is pretty easy from here on.

KU - 100%
ISU - 67%
KSU - 100%

So that totals up to 6.6 wins, rounded up to 7. 7-3 for the year, with losses to OU, one from TCU or OSU, and one from Baylor/ISU/Tech/WVU.

OU probably wins all but 1, as usual, some game they stink out when they shouldn't, but no more. So will depend on how OSU does, and that game's outcome on if Texas or OSU has the other B12 Championship game spot.

After 3 games, I had on a risk weighted basis Texas would be 2-1 (100% for UTEP, 67% for TT, 33% for TCU). So the model looks like it's accurate for this year - most teams do about the same as in previous years, baring new coaches turning a program around, or really good players coming into their own. Neither of those has happened yet.

At this point. OU at 25% looks low, as bad as they are, but then ISU at 67% looks high after how well they played. They have a QB that reminded me of TCU in terms of toughness and making runs, while going between good throws and ducks in the middle of the field.

If I was tinkering with the model now, I'd have:

OU - 50%
Baylor - 67%.
OSU - 25%
WVU - 67%


KU - 100%
ISU - 50%
KSU - 67%

That totals to 4.26 wins, so that plus 2 already is 6.26 Gotta say I'd round down for now, so looking at 6-4 I'd predict.
 
After 4 games, 2 wins compared to a risk weighted model of 2.25 wins. So Texas is underperforming this year even compared to their own history.

looks like 6-4 is high side. Wins against ku, and 3 of 5/between Baylor KSU isu and the hillbillies. Most likely loss to osu.
 
Right now, it seems likely this team wins 1 maybe 2 more games. I cant see 6-4 even 5-5 seems unlikely. You can count right now losses to Iowa State, Okie State and Kansas State. Even money whether they beat Baylor or WVU and only Kansas seems like a probable win. 3-7 is way more likely than 8-2.
 
Yup, prospects for a winning season look very grim right now.

Next presser TH will guzzle some water and say the team got the ou loss behind them, the team had a good practice and the coaches fixed some things.... you know, the usual post game statements after a loss.

I was thinking of Sam this morning. I feel so much empathy for that kid - such a passionate warrior for this team and only parts of the team are as motivated and focused to win as he is.

2020 - terrible way for him to go out his Sr. season....

The season played out exactly as predicted, based on the previous 3 years under Herman.

Quote : 7-3 for the year, with losses to OU, one from TCU or OSU, and one from Baylor/ISU/Tech/WVU.

Hermans as predictable as the day is long. Lose to OU, lose to either TCU or OSU, and then one from the mid-range teams, plus a probably loss to a decent out of conference team, as he's only 1-4, with a win against USC, and losses to Maryland twice, USC, and LSU.

Since he's coming back next year or so it seems, expect more of the same as the past 4, though I might move OSU into the mid-group, as Herman's won the past two, and move ISU in with TCU, as he's lost the last two to them. Still, 8-4 or 9-3 for the regular season, depending on who the OOC games are. Most likely tuning in to watch the B12 game from home, as usual.

Are you having fun yet!!!!

I wish I could find fault with this, but DD hit it on the head.
