Guesses on football record this year

[jazyd]

Care to hazard your guess on what our record will be this year, before camp even starts. I think 4-8 with 5-7 outside if we can beat Vandy or UT. I really think we beat UL if we don't have major injuries by then.

[Bakert]

This may not be popular but I think you could write down 6-6 for the next decade and not be off by more than a couple of games a year meaning I think we will more or less be between 4-8 and 8-4, with hopefully more seasons on the high end of that.

As to this year, based on nothing but an educated guess:

Sure Losses: So Carolina, Mizzou, LSU, UGA

Probable Losses: UF

Possible Losses/Wins: Vandy, Tenn, UL

Probable Wins: Miss St

Wins: UT Martin, Ohio, ULM

I think this may be one year where having UL late could be good as we will be better at the end of the season. They may be a bit more beaten up up having had played in something more like a real conference than they have been. Vandy is a huge game as we have a week off prior to them coming to Lex. I'm not convinced UT will be much better than last year where we should be better. I have UF as a probable loss mostly because I want so desperately for them to be awful. That is also the week before they come to T-town so I'm hoping we can catch them looking past us.

I'm going to go 5-7, but could just as easily see 4-8 or 6-6.

I think Miss St is likely a probable loss, or, at best, a possible win/loss, but I certainly don't think that it is a probable win at all.

I hope I'm wrong, but I thnk we beat UT Martin, Ohio and ULM and probably lose the rest. Maybe we can beat Vandy and finish 4-8, but I have a hard time seeing us beat anyone else.

C'mon, man, I'm trying to be optimistic! :)

Looking at the schedules, though, I think you are probably correct. We will be coming off a visit to LSU while they will be coming off a bye.

[ShoesSwayedBlue]

If the team stays relatively healthy all year, especially the OL, we'll win six games or more.

Miss. st. Would compete for the championship if they were in the East.

[dan_bgblue]

I will stay with 4 wins and hope for six.

Maybe but if we had a QB last year we could have won down there. I think we upgrade at that position and we at least have a shot this fall. The eternal optimist in me looks for possible 6-6 season.

[Darryl]

3-9.

Most of us is going to say 4 to 6 wins, thats one reason i joined this board. People on here dont look thru blue shades.

that's my range. I would be happy with 4, hope against hope for 5 or 6.

If we win 6 stoops deserves a big raise and coach of the year.

[Catcookie]

4-8 most likely... Possibly 3-9.

[catmanjack]

3-4 wins but hoping for more, Stoops is right for UK but must
win games to keep the momentum going on and off.

[jazyd]

MSU returns 18 starters, I think that is a L

[Darrell KSR]

4-8

[suncat05]

Realistically, 4-8 or 5-7. 6-6 and a bowl this year would make me ecstatic! I think there are three or four games that are winnable outside of the OOC games, but we gotta make some breaks for ourselves. But I am excited about Kentucky football again.

[Droops63]

I'll just be happy if it's a better and competitive team this year.

[kingcat]

7/5 Stoops will be SEC coach of the year.

[ram]

4-8 The likelihood of winning only 4 is a real downer, but at least we're talking about the KING of all sports...COLLEGE FOOTBALL (AMEN!)

[CGWildcat]

All you LOLLY GAGGERSS Just'a lollygaggin around!!! 7-5!! :jumping-smiley-012:

[Catfan73]

6-6. Wins in all 4 OOC games plus Vandy and Missouri. We might not beat UL, but then again we might beat MSU or Tennessee.

[dethbylt]

5-7 this year. I think we get 1 SEC win. I hope I am one off and we get two for a bowl game.

[dethbylt]

Vandy is my one predicted win, BTW. I hope I am wrong and we beat UF and Miss St too,
