What are the chances of getting Labor Day strongarm this year?

We’d probably have to drop Samford, and Spetman would try to add USC. LOL

Also having Maryland before UF is a huge plus. We need a tune up first…lol

We seem to get most tough ACC games at home this year with the exception of Miami. The ACC should be ours for the taking, at least our division should be anyways. If this staff can pull off an ACC title and trip to a BCS bowl in its first year our recruiting class next year will make Urbie crap his pants and send him right back to the loony bin.

Does anyone know when we’ll get away from playing the higher level ooc games?

will be rough. Could be the 3 best defenses we face. On the bright side, by that time, our young defense may have gotten it together by then.

When do we start scheduling a FCS team or bye the week before the UF game?

Why don’t we ever play any of these games at home anymore? The last one I remember was against Clemson where Greg Jones dragged their whole team into the endzone.

this schedule actually isn’t that bad. Get BYU, Ok out of the way and surround those games with some cupcakes. Miami and Boston College games are must wins and if we could go into the off date 6-1 I would be stoked.

That’s 9-3. Now, I realize 8-4 is more likely. But I think 9-3 is doable!

I just can’t do it yet. I really think, given normal odds, one of those five teams will be down when we play them… just not sure which one yet.

barring injury, and and tradtional Thurs night road game collapse

I’m calling 10-2 after listening to the press rap-up party,I think we lose a close one to OU and another close one to UFaG.

We owe the cow pie kickers. Later in the schedule, and I’d say no problem.

But, we need time for the new defense to set in, . The youngsters whom we expect to fill some holes won’t be acclamated to D1 football yet. After Samford we still won’t know what we’ve got.

Cuts both ways, I suppose.

9/4 – Samford 99%
9/11 – @ Oklahoma 45%
9/18 – BYU 70%
9/25 – Wake Forest 80%
10/2 – @ Virginia 85%
10/9 – @ Miami 70%
10/16 – Boston College 60%
10/28 – @ NC State (Thur) 70%
11/6 – Clemson 65%
11/13 – UNC 60%
11/20 – @ Maryland 85%
11/27 – Florida 35%

Not quite sure how that calculates, but I think 8-4/9-3 sound good.

Anybody have any information on getting tickets to the OU game? I live in Texas and want to make the trip with a few other Nole Alum

What line does 80% correlate with? I think we’ll beat them by 3 TDs, easily. (My apologies if that, in fact, equates to 80%, but I think something along the lines of 90% is closer to the mark..)

We beat them without a defense, with Ponder hurt half of the game. Max Hall’s replacement will be playing in his 3rd game of his career, possibly in 1st game in a hostile environment, against a REAL defense, and in 90+ degree 90% humidity weather, most likely….??? Blood in the water, folks.

Jimbo is from LSU, and knows that having loud fans in Death Valley is a serious advantage. How does LSU manage to have every game at night? I recognize that there is an ACC television contract, but surely there is an SEC contract that mandates certain games be played during the day. I’m curious how they pull it off, and if that is something Jimbo can work on when he starts to implement his scheduling changes.

Plus, it is too hot for 12pm- 3:30 games in Tallahassee in Sept/October. Sell it as a safety issue Jimbo, I don’t care.

Samford: 99%
Oklahoma: 50%
BYU: 78%
Clemson: 83%
Maryland: 71%
NC State: 69%
Miami: 55%

Florida: 39%

FSUn said that came out to “8.42-3.58”. Also, I didn’t note it, but I took into account home/away when making those projections.

* And I find it amusing how another site is making you pay to see our schedule for next season. *

First off we more than likely will not see an easier ooc schedule until 2013. There is not a magic wand that allows either coach to say hey this game looks tough, I think I am going to drop it. FSU has already signed these contracts with these big schools and their are penalties for breaking a contract. It is a legal argument that takes time and money to do away with none of which major universities like to depart with.

Second, I am excited for our team like the next Nole. I do believe we will make large strides this year, but seriously 7-1? I skimmed through some post and believe I read 10-2. I love the enthusiasm and passion but at some point let’s give our opponents the benefit of the doubt as well. The fact that many of you have us as the underdog in only two games kind of surprises me. Besides the two obvious games in OU and UF, I think we need to have more respect for UM, Clemson, UNC & yes NCSU (a la 2006).

9/4 – Samford (D1AA) – 99
9/11 – @ Oklahoma – 45
9/18 – BYU – 85
9/25 – Wake Forest – 80
10/2 – @ Virginia – 90
10/9 – @ Miami – 55
10/16 – Boston College – 75
10/23 – Off
10/28 – @ NC State (Thur) – 70
11/6 – UNC – 75
11/13 – Clemson – 75
11/20 – @ Maryland – 90
11/27 – Florida – 45

=8.84

9/4 – Samford 99%
9/11 – @ Oklahoma 50% (think we steal this one OU has more holes than we do IMO)
9/18 – BYU 85%
9/25 – Wake Forest 80%
10/2 – @ Virginia 80% (Should be a W but can be a trap game if we are 4 – 0 and looking ahead to UM)
10/9 – @ Miami 55% (Who knows what will happen in this game?)
10/16 – Boston College 70% (Need this game bad and should get it at home)
10/28 – @ NC State (Thur) 65% (Hate these Thursday night games. NCState had a lot of injuries last year and still gave us a lot of problems, they should be better this year)
11/6 – Clemson 70%
11/13 – UNC 65% (if they get an Offense they will be a scary team)
11/20 – @ Maryland 80% (should be much easier and our defense should be firing on all cylinders by this time)
11/27 – Florida 35% (we keep it close for the first time in a long time but unfortunately the talent gap is too much to overcome.)

8.34 right about where I thought we would be 8 – 4 good 9 – 3 awesome 10 – 2 Jimbo & Co. get a statue and a national holiday.

PS. I don’t know anything and yes I am very FSU biased. My G&G glasses see 14 – 0 National Champs. Go Noles!!!!!

I didn’t follow OU this year, what should we expect to face next year?
