August means pre-season football, and if recent records haven't burned out the fan base by now, let's see what people think about the upcoming season. Key off-season items: - Schedule has dropped Richmond, Howard, and Old Dominion for lesser names like Davidson, Wagner, and Sacred Heart.
- Three new assistant coaches.
- Nothing new on MSF.
Georgetown must replace graduating seniors on the offensive line, receiving, and secondary. There will be five or six freshmen competing for punter and kicker duties. The spring roster was not published but we can assume most sophs and juniors are back in their positions from 2009. What are your picks and expectations for 2010?

My thoughts:
I think Kempf will cement himself in the starting role, barring Tucker Stafford actually playing QB. Aaron Aiken is good, but he's raw, and he could use a year of learning. That's my one positional prediction.
Game wise:
Davidson: L 23-10 Lafayette: L 27-17 Yale: L 42-3 Holy Cross: L 35-14 Colgate: L 38-13 Wagner: W 35-14 Bucknell: W 21-14 Sacred Heart: W 17-10 Fordham: W 35-31 Lehigh: L 27-20 Marist: W 20-10
Yes I'm an optimist. But if this team can win the Wagner and Bucknell games back to back I could see them going on a little streak. Fordham, while scholarhips are great, is overrated, and Sacred Heart should be a win. Marist must be a win every year, but Lehigh is just too well-disciplined to lose to us. Summary: 5-6 overall, 2-4 conference.

Just to check, we still have the same coach who led the Hoyas to last season's debacle, right? How is the team going to beat a Fordham team that won by 26 last year? How is that team going to get within a touchdown of a Lehigh team that shut them out last year? How are they going to stay within 10 of Lafayette?

What are your picks and expectations for 2010? After the worst season in Georgetown football history, my expectations are: 1. With the "improved" schedule, win at least four games. 2. Don't finish DFL in the Patriot League. I think this team can accomplish those goals. At this point, I just want to see improvement of some significance.

This year's team can and I think will. Fordham loses Skelton who KILLED us last year. Nearly every game we got blown out in last year was close until we made a barrage of mental mistakes. Yes we have the same head coach. He also has nothing to do with the offense that was the main issue. One could blame the mental mistakes on him, but at a certain point players stop playing when they keep on getting beaten badly. We were getting beaten so badly because Jim Miceli couldn't call a play for anything.

I've studied these other teams (really I'm serious) and I see at least four victories. We beat Davidson, Wagner, and Sacred Heart. We beat two of the three against Marist, Bucknell and Fordham. That's four maybe five victories.

i agree with your assessment, cant see losing to Marist and Bucknell(new coach there) should be easier to beat than Fordham. I do hope that the new coaches, particularly coach "p" can keep enthusiasm up as early schedule can be difficult until mid schedule where we can get some momentum. Also 3 road games to start will also contribute to difficulty staying upbeat.

I predict 3-8. We beat Marist, Davidson plus at least 1 PL opponent. I think a great goal this year is .500 or better and being competitive in every game. That would be a nice improvement and give the team a real push to success (both in terms of Ws and Ls and campus support) in the future.

I would like to see at least one win this year, but I hope for at least two or three.
