getting to the 12 I voted for seems less and less likely.

getting to the 12 I voted for seems less and less likely.
Not feeling too good about my prediction of 12. I think the 0-11s have got this.
When I go through the schedule game by game, I come up w/ 17 wins, but I've been saying all off-season that we'll exceed expectations this year, so I will say 18 wins.
Call it 9/10 OOC wins and 7/8 in the ACC + 1 in the ACC Tourney.
Bear Case:
7-5 (OOC), 3-15 (ACC), 0-1 (ACCT) = 10-21
Assumes we beat all of the doormats, but drop two of three in Myrtle Beach and lose to Davidson, @Richmond, @UT
Assumes we only win 3 ACC home games (BC/PITT/MIAMI?)
Base Case:
9-3 (OOC), 6-12 (ACC), 0-1 (ACCT) = 15-16
Assumes we drop 1 in Myrtle Beach, Lose @ Richmond, Lose @ UT
Assumes we win 5 home ACC games and 1 road ACC game
Bull Case:
11-1 (OOC), 9-9 (ACC), 1-1 (ACCT) = 21-11
Assumes we run the table, aside from @UT
Assumes we mostly hold serve at home (drop games to Duke/UNC/Louisville?), but get 3 road victories (@GT/@Miami/@Clemson?)
Young team gets better throughout the year... Wins an ACC game
I think you could obviously see better or worse than this, but I think those are the reasonable scenarios at each level. If we're worse, I don't think Manning makes it through the entire season.
Make the votes public. I don't remember how I voted.
apparently I didn't vote. not surprised I wasn't paying any attention.
Amazing how one win has quieted the call for DM head. He is still a crappy coach and should be gone
It has?
More likely, it is because we have an 8 day layoff.
Or perhaps just the sad realization that nothing is going to happen until the season is over (in about a month).
I have trouble even thinking of who plays on this team
In my 20 ish years of Wake fandom, I have never thought we are going to be bad and we've been good or even close to it (football or basketball), there have been a few years I thought we'd be good and we sucked, but never the other way.
As a blind squirrel finds a nut, i imagine we'll squeak out an ACC win or 3...maybe someone gets hot from 3 on an off night for our opponent, but I don't see how we win more than that.
Admittedly, I'm more ignorant of this team than any team in the last 20 years, so hopefully my ignorance is exposed and i'm wrong.....but this year is going to be rough (more of the same)
Brandon Childress obviously doesn't read these boards. Told Les most people didn't think the team was capable of winning 11 games before the season started. Considered the amount of wins a success, which shows how brainwashed he is. Obviously more than 80% of the fan base felt more than 11 wins was achievable before the season started.
