I'm not going to predict or think about wins for the rest of the season.  As others have said, the team is an absolute dumpster fire.  I don't think Mickey and the rest of the remaining staff will be able to make much of a difference, mainly because this program is broken right now.  The only saving grace is that the Big Ten West is really bad, and NU also plays two average Big Ten East teams.

MJ got here just in time for the implosion.  any new coach will only come with his own guys.

no desire to enter a toxic atmosphere as HC?

Ya, I get that.  It makes sense.  As predicted.  The same folks who bloviate some amazing outcome are also the first and worst to go to the other direction [and really only a few games into the season this time].

It's obvious that this hits a cord.  My guess is that one can look up your prediction both before and now ... and the deviation will be quite great.  It all points to your measure of fandom I guess.  Why not just stay with your prediction instead of throwing stones.

You are correct however, I am a weird.  Unfortunately, it's not another weird year.  It's just another year of awakening to those who have been asleep.

WTF are you even talking about and why does it matter if people adjusted their number of predicted wins? Some people would call that smart, revising their prediction based on how the team actually looks in games instead of sticking with some number they pulled out of their a$$ before the season started. Or are you wiser, more knowledgeable than the rest of us? ….no, that’s not a real question, it’s rhetorical, we know you aren’t.

On paper we have the talent to win the next four games. The reality of the past five years (and first four games) aside, there's technically a chance we could get to a bowl game.

Which is the best kind of chance.

 
Indiana, Rutgers, Purdue,  bye week... then Illinois...

I think we can stack some wins.  Take it one at a time.  Shore up the Defense and score more points.  One game at a time.  

We'd be sitting at 4-1 in conference play.   chuckleshuffle

You say it's impossible, I say it's not.

2 wins. I am guessing we might be able to beat Illinois at home if Bret Bielema has a bad day…Minnesota, Purdue, Wisconsin and Iowa will b!^@hslap us. Michigan will destroy us…Rutgers, Indiana, and Illinois will be close and we can pull one win…guessing Illinois.

I say it's improbable.  Purdue and Illinois have been quite a bit better than us for a while now. Rutgers and Indiana are both 3-0 and have beaten opponents we probably couldn't beat.

I'm reasonably confident we don't lose during the bye weeks, however.
