It’s time for a MGB tradition — Get Your Rear on the Record

[DallasGreen]

2-10, win against PSU, and either SMU or USM

not much else to hope for, but maybe will be shocked

1-11 and that one will not be SMU!

[emmitt01]

Care to wager on that?

[DallasGreen]

Care to wager on that?

Already have $100 being held and I am taking SMU and giving 7. Dan Macarney is no match for Chad Morris and a great freshman class with an agile A$M transfer @ QB.

[JesseMartin]

I'm going to say 5-7 also, though I'd really love to drive out to the New Mexico or Tucson Bowl if we could sneak in another win or two :/

What does the freshman class have to do with it?  A placekicker and QB are the only freshmen on SMU's 2-deep, and the QB won't ever see the field barring an injury.

I hope you don't plan on going into hiding the night of the 12th to avoid coming here and eating the huge serving of crow you've been cooking up for yourself.

That agile A$M transfer QB had negative 4 yards against us last year.

Don't make valid points against the silly bet. Just take the money and run!

Ha!  Hahaha...  you're too late.  I already took his money.

4-8.

Hope I'm very wrong.

They have 9 true FR listed as either starters or back-ups in their 2 deep. 

Matt Davis the Aggie QB does fit the Chad Morris system better than June Jones.

SMU will be improved and will have already played a game.

but

North Texas will be improved too.

I dont see how you can say that Chad Morris is no match for Coach Mac at this point. Coaching offense well and managing an entire program are two completely different things. He cant spend all day with his QB or the offense. He has to spread it around. I do think he will be a good coach in time, but saying he is a better coach then Mac at this point is just a false statement.

I appreciate your optimism but keep in mind that the only time Dan McCarney won 3 road games at NT was in 2013. He only has 2 road wins in total over the rest of his NT tenure.

Has Chad Morris coached a real game with SMU yet? I get that a new coach can do wonders. But SMU has a lot more problems that will require time to figure out.

But hey, root for SMU all you want guess....

[Aldo]

SMU's offensive 2-deep might change after dealing with that Baylor d-line for 60 minutes.

I might pull a quad just watching it on ESPN. Although that could happen when I'm making a sandwich.

[DallasGreen]

Boy you guys can get edgy over this game which is Good ! Seriously this is a bet that I hope I lose, just trying to put a jinx on the the SMU horses' rears!! GMG

[JRock]

7-5 starting with a good game but solid Win over SMU.

um yeaahhh.  This SMU game could be a jump the shark for both teams in 2015.  So yeah we're on edge.

8-5, partly because no one else picked it, and partly because I think it's doable if we get MUCH improved QB play one way or another.

[rws69]

6-6 with wins over SMU, Rice, Southern Miss, Portland State, UTSA and UTEP.

That is what I sent to Vito. UNT is better, but so is the conference. Have to be much better than expected to beat 7-5 when facing several strong teams on the road. Getting to 6-6 requires a Texas sweep plus wins over SouthMiss and Portland State. Any other scenario for 6-6 or better includes a nice upset on the road.

I'm going to take a sip of the green koolaid and say 8-4, Wins vs SMU, Rice, Portland St, Southern Miss, UTSA, UTEP, WKU, and yes... I'll claim Iowa as an upset win. Thanks to the show our defense and special teams puts in late September.

Get some of that koolaid in the concession stands at Apogee and watch our attendance soar.

Why do we have to send picks to Vito? Can't he just get them from here like the rest of his content?

just send him a PM or email so he knows that you are ok with having your screen name in the paper etc.

[RealMeanGreenMatt]

4-8

 

[Matt from A700]

5-7 with a crushing loss at home against UTEP that denies our bowl eligibility 

This is too specific and too heartbreaking to imagine. I refuse to agree with you.

 

I said months ago I think we can win 6 games in our schedule. Of course, that would actually require us to win a game on the road (SMWho). 7-6 after a 24-21 upset bowl win.

But then I would have contacted him. Which is what I am saying I don't think I should have to do. :)
