Is 8 considered kool-aid drunk? Asking for a friend.As we start to get into game week. Show your level of drunk on the Koolaid

Did the exact same when I created. I want to chug the shit out of the Koolaid, but just can't get there.I hovered over 9 (what, am I batshit crazy?), paused for a second on 8 (still seems like setting myself up for a kick to the balls) and clicked 7.
We get to around #15 at some point in the season with mentions of a possible playoff season, but don't stay. Riaola finishes around 10-12 in heisman projections.As we start to get into game week. Show your level of drunk on the Koolaid

I said 9... why?
We will be favored in 9 games and we should win those 9 so
UTEP - W (Favored)
Colorado - W (Favored)
UNI - W (Favored)
Illinois - W (Favored)
@Purdue - W (Favored)
Rutgers - W (Favored)
Indiana - W (Favored)
@OSU - L
UCLA - W (Favored)
@USC - L
Wisconsin - W (Favored)
@Iowa - L (I think we win this, but since we will not be favored I have to mark it as an L)
That is actually 10 wins and we should be able to win those 10. Not Kool Aid, because we should be able to win 9 games. We would of won 11 last year, but QB turnovers killed those games.
Refer to my earlier reference to "batshit crazy." And I say that in a joking way, so no offense intended. I don't care about Vegas odds, there's 5 games on the schedule that I feel really comfortable about chalking up as a W until after I see the first 2 games. After that I might get a little more over my skis. If we have an offense that doesn't turn the ball over and can score in the red zone we're headed for a fun season. If not? We'll be sweating 6 again.I said 9... why?

I honestly think Dylan Raiola will have more TD passes by our first road game than our entire team did all of last year IMORefer to my earlier reference to "batshit crazy."

I clicked 9 as well for similar reasons... I think they'll win one they shouldn't which will give everyone the "we're back" feels (USC? OSU?) and I just know they'll lose a head scratcher or two just to prove there's still a road to travelI said 9... why?

Yep that's y I went 9 but could easily get 11 or stub the toe and get 7 which would be huge disappointmentI said 9... why?

I too picked 6 wins. Every year the Kool aid and hype outweigh reality. I know I said I wouldn't be negative but we've all been burned so many times. I will go with believe it when I see it.I think 6. Mainly because I expect DR to get injured and we have nobody on the roster behind him that can get us beyond 6 wins.
I hovered at 10+ (pshh... yeah, right), rolled the dice (and said WTF) and said I want to be optimistic for the first time in 7 years and clicked 9.I hovered over 9 (what, am I batshit crazy?), paused for a second on 8 (still seems like setting myself up for a kick to the balls) and clicked 7.
This seems logical, but I think our Defense is primed this year. So next year the reason why we can't be 10-2 is because of what we lose on D. There is always an excuse, and quite honestly I see no reason it can't happen if Raiola plays decent and only has half the turnovers as last yearIMO we SHOULD be 10-2 with this schedule.
My Michigan buddy says the key to college today is a strong defense with outstanding QB play. I tend to agree. (He actually thinks NU is a dark horse to make the playoff) The pieces are in place, but as much hype as DR has he’s still a Freshman and I think we’re still a year away. So I’m going with 8-4.
