Phil Steele's Preseason Top 25

[DBut82]

I'll say this: I'm perhaps the biggest burnt orange Kool-Aid (& vodka) drinking, sunshine pumping, Orangeblood in this forum. But Top #10? I know preseason polls don't amount to much. And no cliché is more appropriate regarding college football than "it ain't where you start, it's where you finish". But for this team to "start" in the top 10 is a stretch imo. Thoughts?

It is beyond a stretch to put this team in the top 10. Phil was either drunk, high on something, or someone had a gun to his head.

We shouldn't even be in the top 25 at this point. Close maybe.

Texas shouldn't be in the top 25. They went 7-6 last season and have proven nothing to anyone.

That is my point!  I was floored!  God knows I love these Horns but my goodness

Hey, pour a burnt orange Kool-aide for me and calm down

Hey, if he ends up being right, he's a stinkin genius.

Is the pre-season poll not supposed to be a wild-ass guess for how one sees the season playing out?

Last season's record notwithstanding, Phil is merely an optimist for the burnt orange to be much, much better this year.

I'll have what he's having. \m/

I figure he's bound to get it right at some point. Maybe it's this year.

Well, the wife and I have a lot of "discussions". One of these days I'm going to be right. 

So you're saying I'm going to be a stinkin genius when that happens

I would love to pour it out, trust me. I hope I'm wrong by the end of this season.

If you can pull that off, you are indeed a stinkin genius. lol

Trust me....if you really want to be a "stinkin genius" you will never ,ever be "right" in those discussions.....

with business associates , water cooler guys, and anyone you run accross on the course or bar, you want to be "right' in those discussions...............NEVER with the wife!

You guys are still learning. Hopefully before you reach my age you’ll know to never even argue with the wife. Keep your opinions to yourself.
