In this case I change my prediction to whatever Ickehawk says despite the fact that I have never played in the marching band, I fear being mocked.I love guys that played drums in the marching band giving us their predictions.....lol. Go diddle your sticks and leave football to the real men...the Tuba players
Do we have a won-loss season prediction yet?

Lighten up! It's a message board of ANONYMOUS people. It's a place for cheap 'entertainment' and to occasionally pick up some 'credible' (depending on the source) information. Yes, it's fun picking on the names people use and frankly I'm surprise no ones gone after my handle yet.........My son is in a marching band (and couldn't care less about football) and we make 'fun' about it all the time and even rock 'musicians' like to make fun of the drummer. I had friends that named their band 'Three MUSICIANS and a Drummer'..............

Keep CJ healthy and derKirkFeravis behind bars and it'll be top-10 match-up on November 12th, on way to 11-3, overall (lose either at PSU or Michigan; lose to OSU in BTtitle; lose to either Clemson or LSU in Orange).
I'm not convinced either of those will happen.
- The OL has to gel; which WR / TE is gonna average more than 8 ypc? That means more pressure on CJB to scramble, make plays and get hit.
- That's usually the recipe for derKirkFeravis to keep things tight with low-risk ball control and field position.
Although there's plenty of decent RB's to ride, this is NOT smart this year because 1) unproven punter / kickers to obtain field position and 2) the DL lacks an outside pass rush, which will lead to longer drives by the opponent and a tired D late in games, which leads to closer games, which leads to more sphincter clench by derKirkFeravis.
Still, the schedule is favorable enough to sleepwalk to 9-3 / 8-4 (losses at Minny, at PSU, Michigan, maybe Nebby)

That's because we already did a prediction thread. How many are we going to do? Should we do another one after they've played 3 games...

Well in that case of course you should call him an alcoholic. Golly you really are the genius that you're two sycophants keep claiming you are.
You haven't seen a game yet and you somehow have determined that the DL lacks an outside pass rush? Wow! Hey, today's Wednesday. Lottery Drawing tonite! What are the numbers going to be ol' seer of the future! Lol. I'm glad I have a new whack-job and KF lover to talk to! You guys are fun (and easy)! If you don't like KF, why be a Hawk fan? I don't like KFC, so you know what? I DON'T EAT THERE! I don't pick up their chicken everyday and then incessantly bitch about it to everyone, lol....It's a simple concept really.....

This thread is missing the obligatory DV post. And since I'm a giver (not a taker) I will step up to the plate for him.
"Am I the only one who thinks ick is a football genius with righteous communication skillz!?!"
Meh, I'll give you a 2 out of 10 for that one.
I was actually being sarcastic. I guess I missed the mark. I agree, it is a place for cheap entertainment, sometimes healthy debate, and once in awhile I actually learn something....at least until I learn they were wrong.
To be fair I think I saw where the Big 10 Network crew had concerns about our pass rush, but they've only seen part of one practice. I think it's ok to say it's a question mark and we all wish Ott were here. If we want to be a great football team, someone will have to step up. There is still many practices between now and kickoff, so hopefully the dline will be better than some think.
It makes the Ott decision really frustrating. I would feel great about our defense if we had someone of that caliber creating pressure.

If I find the conversation productive, yes. I love football X and O talk and he clearly knows football. All the other crap doesn't bother me. I do not take myself seriously and i do not take this message board seriously. I am googling terminology, I am re-watching games it is because of him. I am information junkie, I want to know, what I do not know. That is just how I roll.
It will be the trend for as long as ickehawk is here. With his over the top rants, it's highly unlikely that no one will come back at him. Then the pissing match is on.

2. If New Kirk stays and shows up every week and makes 1-2 inexplicably aggressive calls per game, he will pump the team and crowd up to the tune of 11-1. I cannot bring myself to predict 12-0, NDSU and ISU are too good for that.
I'd say you're half right. NDSU is good, if ISU wins it's because we beat ourselves.
Clowns think they are good, of course they're the only team that loses by two score or more and say they won.

I thought we were being asked for W-L predictions. Mine is 10-2. I could see us losing to Wisconsin and either Nebraska or NW or any 2 of those 3 teams. I don't think we'll lose all 3 unless we turn the ball over and we should just be flat out better than the Psyclowns and NDSU. I don't think the Bizon will come in to Iowa City being overlooked.

We are going to have to mix it up. We have the pass D to cover people so lets blitz more and see if King and Mabin can actually cover or if they're just really good at the Tampa 2 shell.

It's a "prediction" thread; I think you can do the math.
I LOVE the Hawks. I didn't realize liking KirkFer (don't personally know him but believe what I hear he's a GREAT guy) and agreeing with his strategies was a prerequisite and ongoing mandate to be a fan and cheer for them to win every game.
I think KFC is pretty good but I rarely eat it. Just doesn't stick on my radar. Not to mention, never have been a big fan of on-the-bone chicken. Too much effort to eat and too messy, what, with the sticky fingers and crumbly coating.
So ... about that "lighten up" mantra ... how's that goin' fer ya?
