Expectations?  Number of wins?  Will the team be competitive?  The Sporting News college football preview issue has the Red finishing last in the Ivies.  This is year four of the Archer era.  5-25 to date.

Optimistic = 5-5
Realistic = 3-7

Less than 3-7 and we may see a coaching change.

[Trotsky]

Us there any reason to think we are going to improve (beyond hope)?

I'll hang up and take my answer off the air.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I'll be optimistic and say 2-8.

Yes, that's optimistic.  I can also see us not winning any games.

For our football team, the sun has faded far away in in the crimson of the West...

Eighth not last.

Rather large gap between Columbia picked 7th (43 points) and Cornell (20 points).   We seem to be a consensus pick.

Last is still last.  We are the new "Columbia" in Ivy League football.

Hey, there were at least THREE media members who thought we would finish better than 8th.  So that's something!

[CAS]

Keith, think that's a maximum of 3 media members who don't have us finishing last.

[KeithK]

Keith, think that's a maximum of 3 media members who don't have us finishing last.

Yes, no more than three voters could have had us above 8th. Or one crazy man thinking that we'd finish 5th!  But that doesn't mean there aren't other members of the media who think so too but didn't get votes.  Yeah, that's what I meanT!

Basically, quit picking on the english in my snarky postP

[CAS]

Meant no offense Keith.  Was just showing how negative the media is re our football prospects this season, in year 4 of the Archer era (5-25 to date).
