FB or BB will have the Best Season?

- Start date
Whats the measuring stick here? 30 basketball games, 12 football games, so 1 football win is worth 2.5 wins in basketball. So 6 wins in football would be 15 wins in basketball. I think we will win more than 15 basketball games, and Im not sure we make 6 wins in football.
So I'll say basketball.

I will go with football based on what expectations have come to be in each sport over the last 5 years.
Definitely basketball with this metric.
However, I think fans will be more satisfied with the football season than basketball season - given the recent history of both programs. We will see some improvement in wins in football and will see a drop-off of wins in basketball. I think football is more likely to go to a bowl than basketball is to get to NCAA tournament.
Football, because I think their final result will exceed our recent average (basketball may meet it, but it would be really tough to exceed what they've been doing the last six years).
I expect them to perform "similarly" this year, in that I think both teams will be near the "meets expectations" category. I'd say meets expectation would be football around 5 wins and basketball around 20. Basketball has the best chance of making a postseason of some sort (Not necessarily NCAA's).
Depends if we're using informed opinions or Rothstein who thinks we won't even be close to a winning record in Hilton which would be required to finish 10th. I think out performing Rothstein would be drastically easier than winning 4-7 football games to beat most of those expectations. Remember that almost all of Fred's teams were picked 8th out of 10.
I think we finish 8th in the conference in both sports. For football this will feel decent with a good non-con performance, and it will feel like a major let-down in basketball.
Hmmm. I'll guess 5-7 in football and 17-13 in regular season basketball.
Based on recent results that would mean football had the "better year" based off of expectations but still a more successful basketball year.

Not sure which of our two National Championships is worth more...

I'm drinking the cool-aid. 7 wins + a bowl game. All aboard! CHOO CHOO!!!!!
I think 5 wins in Fb and NIT in basketball. Those are essentially a wash but I'll say basketball because I think there is slightly higher upside

Basketball will return to the NCAAs.
Football might go bowling, but will be exciting to watch.
I'm going with basketball here, because I think that team will win more and be even more exciting to watch.

I will say football, think we are in for a long winter...
I have similar expectations; if we are in the bubble talk at all come Selection Sunday that's a good season for hoops. If we won 5 football games that would be better in my eyes.
I hope you are dead wrong, but I tend to agree. Just way too many unproven guys and chemistry is not going to be there for this team. Hats off the Prohm if he can make this year a winner.
