I can see us losing in 4 matchups:
OU and UT
Kansas – Lawrence, good team, fired up, something to prove. Week after a&m game.
A&M – Haven’t won since 2004 and it’s at kyle field.

Of those, the only game I’d consider trap is the A&M game.

If KU beats USF, we play them the week after OU they play OU. If they beat OU (and we don’t get trapped before then), It’ll be a top 10 matchup and they’ll be fired up. If they lose to OU, they’ll be looknig to bounce back. For these reasons, i don’t count KU as an auto W.

The trap games on our schedule: A&M, Nevada, KSU, Nebraska. Games that I really, really don’t want us to lose but I could see it happening. A&M is the most dangerous followed by KSU, Nevada, and Nebraska (for the fact that we’re playing Nebraska at home).

I’ll be much happier once we shut down Nevada’s pistol and don’t get burned by A&M’s new boring coach.

I think it’s kansas state, first true road test (nevada should be a blow out just by talent level alone). By then tech should be a top 7-10 team and reading all their stats and press clippings. Kstate wins by 17 with a running game and creating turnovers.

deterred by all you naysayers out there. Sure, there are games of concern, all mentioned above, but I still feel this is going to be a special year. Tech has not had an undefeated regular season for a long, long time, never an undefeated full season. With all the cards they have at hand this year, I have never been more excited about their chances of going undefeated. Anything can happen, but I choose to be totally positive. The rest of you can go suck eggs.

Although I am very optimistic about the season, I was going to say that I can see the K State game as a trap. We will be coming off 4 very easy opponents by a combined score of 287-30, and looking ahead to Nebraska and a/m. We might be playing a little flat, especially since its a road game. Also, if it ends up being one of the before-noon games, our boys seem to look like they’re dragging sometimes. It might be our Colorado for the year. Especially seeing how they beat Texas 2 years in a row.

But now that I think about it more, I think we should be ok. We should also be hyped up since it will be the first Big 12 game. We will only be 4-0 and there will still be a lot of people saying that we haven’t proven ourselves yet so we will not yet have that added pressure of a national audience waiting for us to screw up.

That means a/m could be a trap by probability alone. We have dominated them so much lately, that it might be due for us to lose one. the sun does shine on every horse rear sometimes.

But then I think about reality, and there is no way we can lose to a team that needs a magic golden retriever and a mythical extra player to win ballgames.
In conclustion, I am not an egg sucker. I agree with ttpilk, we will go 14-0 and the trap game will wait until 2009.

I think any of the games could be trap games given the schedule overall. As of today, I think we’ll win all of them but a few will be a little scary in the end. Even the top teams usually have a couple of games that are closer than expected, so I would venture a guess that Tech’s season will be no different. The difference is the exprerience we now have. We SHOULD know how to rally and win the tough ones, like in the Gator Bowl. At least three times this year, Tech will need a fair share of luck because not only will Tech be improved, but many of the teams we play will also be improved.

The aggies worry me the most only because they’re due against us. I really think Kansas will lay an egg this year. Not sure why, but I do. Nebraska will be tough, Nevada can be a tricky one and KState should be better.

Running the table in ‘08? Not likely at all. In the end, the losses will be either one of those listed and likely UT or OU. I just don’t see how we can beat OU unless Bradford goes down again…they will be freaking stout this year and may challenge for all the marbles. They have pretty hot coeds, too : )

And I don’t suck eggs…I’m an optimist – and a realist. I’ll take 10-2 and a BCS game any day of the week.
