It could have Benford worse.

if we win the next two we go 6-7 into conference play. That is way off from where I thought we might be....

I do not expect to win the next two.

I think we have a chance to split them. However, it seems like every year we have that one nice upset. We have had zero so far. I liked this team when we still had Deandre, Anefiok, and/or Mike Thomas. Now if we manage to break even I would be impressed. To small, no depth, and no experience.

Incarnate Word  beat St Johns, at SJU, last night by 22 points, so anything is possible.  This came 3 nights after IW lost to NAIA Our Lady of the Lake at home.

Did anyone watch the Creighton/OU game this afternoon? OU won but Creighton did a good job of trying to stay in the game.

Liked (past tense) when we had the players listed who are longer on the team. In general I enjoy basketball, but this team is bad. It doesn't mean I won't go to the games. Army of dad goes to every game and doesn't get questioned or bashed.

Wasn't trying to bash you. I was just saying that what do you like about this team for you to think we can split?

We are due for an upset. It won't mean the team is going to go on a roll, but we always have one surprising upset. Anything can happen in conference play though. If Rice had lost their last game (they won by 1 point), we would have been in a tie for the 6th best record in our conference. That lets you know how bad our conference is. LA tech is going to walk away easily with the conference title.

There is no way we come close to beating the line in this one. They aren't as good as they've been in the past, but they are still a solid team that plays very well at home. ass in the revenge factor of the most surprising win in the Tony Benford Era  from last season at the Super Pit and you can see where this one will go. Creighton covers easily...

I like that they suck so terribly hard that even RV won't be stupid enough to think he can get away with not firing Benny.

Yeah, but somehow he will justify Benford as a good hire after his firing. RV is fantastic at being absolutely clueless in what he does.   Not so fantastic at breathing.

We actually had a few good wins last year: Creighton, and C-USA powerhouses Louisiana Tech and UAB. Of course, we seem to always follow up good wins with bad losses like Prairie View A&M after Creighton. We let that Southern Miss game get away from us too. That was ugly.

That was the theme of last year. Get a good win and then lose to a garbage team. I remember being frustrated after those loses. Gave up being frustrated after being sweeper in the mean green challenge to start the season this year haha

Is there a Vegas line on that?

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      I'm gonna say yes...but probably not as much as people (including me) will want. unless something has dramatically changed in the last two weeks in practice, I gotta think the rotation is still the rotation and given that we're coming in off 2 straight loses, my bet is that Hodge will want the rotation guys playing as much together as possible heading into conference play. had we beaten High Point and/or if we had a better schedule that didn't have a two week gap in games, maaaaaaaybe RH would've experimented/tried to build more depth a little more...but given circumstance I'm preparing for little more than freshmen cameos.

      Portal WR Cameron Dorner - Shepherd

      Committed to North Texas. No idea what happened to the X links above. https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/shepherd-transfer-portal-frenzy-d1-commitments-big-offers-and-a-standout-returns-home/article_237da94a-66bd-5bc5-b98f-299985e895f2.html According to this article, he turned down offers from 12 other FBS/FCS schools to come to Denton. It also lists him as a team captain.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      We can complain all we want about Aune but he holds the single season record in TD passes. While QB play wasn't perfect after Fine left, it was a heck of a lot better than right before Fine got here. I completely understand that. This is no different than any HS prospect or even an FBS transfer. Not all QBs can replicate their previous success in a new system. I'd still rather have a guy who was accomplished than somebody who never saw the field. Every transfer is a risk no matter what. Your logic is severely flawed though. Cam Ward was once a big time FCS transfer and was just a Heisman finalist with that Miami team you're trashing. Joe Burrow was once a career backup on an Ohio State team that couldn't win the championship and look what he did. If you want to get even crazier with it all, Stetson Bennett was once a walk-on who then transferred to a junior college before transferring back to Georgia to win a couple National Championships. We can go on forever with this. We got a guy with success at the D1 level. More success than Chandler Rogers had. There's no reason to believe he won't work out here.
