aPaladin Negative Nancy Thread for the 2025 Football Season

[FUTex]

Quick update for the 2025 football season:

There are no possums in Northern Ireland, at least around the Belfast metropolitan area, as far as I could tell. To add to the evidence, the Rector at St George's Church, The Reverand Stewart, did not mention possumry in his homily.

I was attacked by a leprechaun. Well, maybe attacked is too strong of a word for it. But I was severely menaced. It could have been a fairie instead of a leprechaun, for it was dark. There was a lot going on that evening.

Good news / Bad news to report - They built a huge ship in Belfast back in 1912, but it sank on its maiden voyage. Really a sad story, and you'd think they'd move past it, but they went a done built a huge museum about it. Just sad.

Am it a really, really big ship?

We will finish 6-5 or 5-6 next year with many games coming down to the wire.

[FUATT]

12 games.

W&M is losing a lot and we get them at home. We beat PC and NCA&T. I like us at 3-1 in the OOC.

We will beat Citadel and VMI. That's 5 right there. That leaves Mercer, Chatt, ETSU, Wofford, Western and Samford.

We will win at least two of those for sure, likely Samford and Wofford. So I think 7-5 is the floor.

How we do v. Mercer, Western, Chatt, ETSU are the key. We went 1-3 this year. If we can split them next year, that's 8-4. That's progress, but not where we want to be.

I can’t believe we are beating Wofford until we actually beat Wofford. Sad, but that is where we’re at.

Very optimistic. Not sure we beat Citadel. Was very lucky to win this year and they played better down the stretch. Samford and WC? Both on the road, not likely. I think 6-6 would be more likely.
