I guess that's why they call you the Optimist. I don't agree. The MAC as a conference is already slotted as middle of the road, at best. Playing a bunch of teams that are considered to be at your level, even if you beat them, doesn't help elevate your status. If we win every game you will have earned your moniker. We may have a great year, but don't expect us to be ranked.
If I am somehow perfect in my picks, and we win all the games I have us winning, you don't think we are ranked by the new year?

If we win all but one or two of our OOC games (beating Temple, and losing to Kansas), pick up a quality road win in the BracketBuster against a top mid-major, and go 13-3 or better in the MAC, we'll be a top 30 RPI team, and will get an at-large bid if we stumble in the MAC semis or finals.  Admittedly, this schedule doesn't give us a lot of wiggle room, but as I've argued before putting together a murderous schedule with a group as young and inexperienced as this one is a horrible strategy.  This is an ideal schedule for this group, a lot of winable mid-major games to prepare us for the MAC, but against decent enough competition that you could play yourself into at-large contention with a big season.

That having been said, this team has way too many holes to hope for an at-large bid with any schedule, so this talk will ultimately likely be moot.

I think we'll be good, but we are missing a big and another scoring option to really make some noise. Its not a good sign we almost got outrebounded by Walsh.

I wouldn't put too much stock in stats from exhibition games.  And, DeVaughn sat out.

My prediction and prognostication is that OHIO will provide some moments of shear ecstacy and some moments of utter wonder and disgust.  I will spend part of the time with the hair on the nape of my neck standing straight up and will spend part of the time with my head in my hands, not wanting to see another second of play.  I predict some 15 point leads becoming last second wins with some late game heroics becoming remarkable wins.  

I  predict stupid arguements on this board and some great basketball analysis on this board.  At some time a guest from the other team will visit and get greeted with disdain or welcomed for his witty banter. 

I also predict that a new string of "SO SAY US ALL.." will bring the usual smile on my face.

I also predict at least one unexpected win and one of those damnable losses against a west division team that no one can figure out.

The above predictions are based entirely on hindsight of my years as a BOBCAT fan.

I predict a 11-5 record in the MAC and 2 losses out of conference.

I think we end up in title game for MAC tourney and get into the NCAA tourney win or lose.

2nc--There may be some 'getting used to each other' in the early part of the season but I'll bet that there will not be too many moments of despair and dismay.

I would actually bet on that too.  I am pretty excited about the start of BB and the prospect of 3 more football games.

Nobody perfect although several posters correctly predicted our 5-3 record to date. The Marshall game is the biggest whiff overall on the board.

                    Might of been wrong about our W/L record, but one things for sure. I'm not going to be wrong about Tommy Freeman breaking Dave Jamerson's 3 point FG's made record against BGSUcks. Made Tommy's prediction to break the record back in November 2010.
