8-4 would be a good achievement in BK first year because I expect losses on all four SEC road games plus Alabama; 7-5

7-8 wins is my expectation for wins.
Points 3 and for are an expectation as well. I am optimistic about 2 but I expect some more “alignment” throughout the season. And you might see some unhappy campers. I think there is a realistic possibility that some games get away from us in a big way like the Kentucky game last year. But if the secondary hold up, then I could be wrong about that.

Yes but I reserve the right to change my mind with the first and every 3 and out.

YES!

New:
HC
OC
DC
QB
Kicker
No AA CBs (yet)
Ton of transfers

BK is real good but no one is that good.

8-4 would be outstanding given this “new” context.

Not after The Rant has led me to believe in 10 win season.

Nobody ever wants to admit it, but something like 9-4 or 10-3 including the bowl game is pretty much the average for LSU over the past ~20 years. And those 20 years represent the most successful period in school history.

Point being that an 8-4 regular season followed by a bowl win would be a fantastic turnaround in year one.

So why would you not be OK with that?


Injuries to key players, missed field goals in tight games, several blown calls, a few bad bounces….

I’ll take 8 regular season with a bowl win to make 9.

Based off of what you said, I'd be fine with it.

1-We played competitive football in all our games? 2-The team showed much more discipline and cohesiveness than last year? 3-If the coaching showed up in a positive way all season? 4-If we see young guys step up and show us a glimpse of greatness to come


I think this is exactly what anyone with a brain thinks will happen.
8-4 maybe 9-3 with all the positives you mentioned.

Sure, we all hope we are wrong and the team goes 15-0, but delusional fools actually expect better than that noted above.

Considering the state of the program when BK took over, only a bonafide idiot wouldn’t.

No one is hoping we only win 8, but it is a very realistic expectation this year.

I think that's a proper and fair way to put it and I agree.

Yes as long as one of the 8 is A&M.

8-4 would be a good result...doesn't require any of those things.
