That seems accurate to me. I figure we have three conference games that are 50/50 games for us to win: @‌USM, home to UTSA, and home to UTEP.

Better then last. No target on our backs this season.

Welp, At least we project above our "rivals," those damned roadrunners.

P.S. I live in San Antonio and UTSA fans are annoying.

Throw away season.

Throw away season.

Tell that to the players.

Are there even five teams in the division?

Throw away season.

No season is a throw away, even if the schedule is daunting and the talent is undeveloped. This year plants the seeds for 2016 and beyond.

no doubt. I'm just worried about what seeds are being planted...

I feel optimistic about this season for some odd reason... i'm gonna say 3rd in the west like 2013 regardless of our actual wins total.

VideoEagle · July 15, 2015

Didn't a bunch of sports reporters pick us to win the division last year, despite all the players who graduated? And weren't we picked a consensus fifth in 2012?

Most of the predictions rely far too heavily on the previous years results. More importantly, none of those reporters incomes depend on the accuracy of their predictions!

Sports reporters are notoriously lazy....no homework involved before they start writing their drivel.

I hope for more from us... but I also expect this too.

Are you serious? About finding fans i mean. 27k attend games but dont see them otherwise.

I have a UTSA fan that works for me...like three ranks below me. He's not so bad when he's not wearing the lanyard from his community college.

I think we'll end up somewhere between 1st and 6th. Too many question marks for me to say otherwise with any kind of certainty. If we don't go well beyond basic bus driving it's not looking good. If we do, the sky's the limit. At least as far as the conference is concerned of course.

Entrepreneur? Being a job creator is rewarding. Pay and schedule flexibility are hard to beat. Congrats, we are becoming an endangered species unfortunately.
