2023 Arizona vs. Stanford Predictions Thread - george - 09-20-2023

Just wondering, is that 49-0 at the half, to out-beatdown the USC game?
And then they put in their walk-ons, game statistician, and water guy, and we storm back for a 17-0 second half?

given the outlook for the rest of the season and my unwillingness to pick us to lose, unless things turn around I'll be passing on future predictions....

I am also unwilling to pick us to lose, but if the team is going to lose than I'm going to lose right along with them . . . just as I have done for the past 3 seasons.

I'm not unwilling to pick us to lose if the data entrails justify it. 

UA's QB is much better than either of ours. So, UA 35, SU 24. Their O and D lines will decimate ours.

Yeah, I did that from the start this season.


RE: 2023 Arizona vs. Stanford Predictions Thread - george - 09-20-2023

We might be dipping into uncharted waters.  Even including the depths of last season we have never had a predictions contest where at least one hapless cardboarder (often yours truly) doesn't pick us to win.  Is this the week where it starts?

I don’t even believe this as I write this but I gotta believe Stanford gets another win this season.

Stanford surges with energy playing in front of students for the first time this season, wins 27-24.

Hopefully they get some picks, throw to Yurosek, stick to the running game if it’s working.

Not sure what you're on but I would imagine it's available today in San Francisco.

Chances of a victory are pretty slim, but at least as far as I am concerned there is nothing wrong with being super optimistic and predicting it.
It doesn't cost anything to be wrong.


RE: 2023 Arizona vs. Stanford Predictions Thread - Austroturf - 09-22-2023

It's OK to be a diehard Stanford fan and pick us to lose on any given weekend.  Objectively, we suck at this stage of our program's history.  Life was different a decade ago.  Now, we do not appear to have the firepower on either side of the ball to win many of the games ahead of us, so if I am going to participate in a "prediction" contest, I am going to let rational judgment prevail.  We are likely to lose this Saturday.  We could win, but it is less likely than losing.  I would prefer to see us win; but my preferences don't count for squat in this universe.  So Arizona rips off 5 TDs, while we get into the endzone twice, and Karty tacks on a pair of FGs.  35-20 Wildcats.


RE: 2023 Arizona vs. Stanford Predictions Thread - qwerty49 - 09-22-2023

I think we need a bonus proposition now, ie the over/under on Karty FGs for the game.


RE: 2023 Arizona vs. Stanford Predictions Thread - marchballer - 09-22-2023

Arizona 32 Stanford 24. 

Tough game but we don’t have enough in the end.

The first year or two we had this thread I enthusiastically participated.  I think one year I even wound up in the top five by the end of the year.

I stopped participating a few years ago, and won't be participating this year.  It is no fun to objectively guess at our margins of defeat.

The last statement turned out to be remarkably accurate.
Although we didn't win, the notion that we might wasn't a complete wet dream.
Unfortunately, the notion that we might next week is.
