I guess ThaKid doesn't show up much here anymore because virtually everything he said was proven wrong. Pity...I'd like to make him wallow in it a bit more.

Go read their scout board. He's just as stupid as ever. Already predicting they'll win the Big Ten next year and have a shot at going undefeated. Also thinks the basketball team is gonna gel and make a tourney run. Even the posters over there call him on his silliness. He's retort is always the same it was here: "We'll see"...hard to argue with that kind of dumbfuckery. :lol:

Nine wins will be real tough (but not totally impossible) for them. The departures of Corey Liuget, Martez Wilson and Mikel Leshoure to the NFL doesn't help their chances either. I'll sell.

Never bet on the Zooker because it is impossible to predict when his incompetence will strike and even harder to predict when he will ZOOK!!! someone.

A ZOOKING!!! only happens once a year though, the incompetence is much more frequent.

Well they can get to 9 wins without being anyone worth a damn. That would require them however to beat every team on their schedule that is weaker or pretty much even with them talent wise, i find it unlikely a zook coached team can do that.

Better not overlook Arkansas State. Remember michigan overlooked that smaller school just a few years back. A State SHOULD lose, but they have some talent and it is the 1st game.

Those first 4 are Wisconsinesque in cream puffiness. 4 wins

IU and Minny are just as bad as any of those teams. 6 wins

Purdue, NU, scUM, and PSU are the next level up (in order as I see it) and will decide their fate. They have to take 3 of 4, 2-2 at worst. Here is where the self inflicted variety of Zooking will rear its head most likely.

OSU and Wisconsin are significantly better than Illinois but but both are at home. This is where they usually Zook someone to offset the self inflicted Zooking.

Depends on the odds being offered for the bet but there's a solid chance they can get it. I'd say 40-45%.
