Used to enter the Cougarfan.com contest when there was one (missed a perfect team score by just one game when a single weak-kneed sibling predicted a road loss vs. TCU,
which we won. He is not forgiven).

Done an extended family & friends contest ever since theirs ended.

This year? No idea what I’ll predict. I think I’ve got the same two or three wins circled aa everyone else, three very likely losses identified, and a lot of I don’t knows.

Odds makers say those “I don’t knows” are probable losses, and they tend to be more right than wrong. But hope springs eternal.

If the year is to be a disaster, I think we probably know by the end of the Baylor game. At no point before the day where we actually reach bowl eligibility or a winning record do I think we will know with much certainty that the year is a success
