1).  SMU might actually bring a good crowd this year?  Year two of Morris?  Any takers?

2).  Nice to open the season with a home game against a rival.  There will be a lot of good back and forth.  It's a great statement opportunity for Littrell.

3).  We actually have a bye in the middle of the year where it could help.

4).  Home schedule is a big improvement with SMU, La. Tech, Marshall and Southern Miss in Apogee. 

5).  We actually get to start the season when everyone else does.

6). Only one body bag game with Florida.  WKU, Marshall and Tech will be tough but 2 of the 3 are at home.

No home games on Halloween night or the Saturday after Thanksgiving are good things in my book.

You just can't measure that kind of ROI.

7. What kind of beer will Harry be drinking at the SMU game?

  1. At no point do we have to play a team of LASER equipped super raptors.
  2. Unlike ancient Aztec ball games, the losing team will not be sacrificed to appease the feathered serpent god, quetzalcoatl.
  3. We finally play Marshall at home.

It's sad that the main moderator has to post that this thread is for positive thoughts only.  Our fan base just makes you shake your head in shame way too often.

I can see 3-4 wins. Give a competitive team with improved stats and I will be happy. Love the home games!

Your comment is not a positive thought. Now mine isn't either. See what you've started?

If Harry doesn't do something to control all these negative vibes you are putting out we are going to have to fly a banner over his house.

And even though we have a game the same day as UT-OU, it's Marshall, which should be a good draw.  Hopefully it will be an evening kickoff.  Maybe that will be picked to be our Thursday TV game?

For me, living in the Houston area, besides there being 6 home games, I get the every-other-year Rice "home" game, and UTSA is also a great road trip.  Add the possibility of combining the Army Game with a trip to visit my Mom on Long Island, and I might make it to 9 games this year!

And, @meanJewGreen, no conflicts with the Jewish Holidays this year.

Three or four wins isn't positive.  I see six or seven wins.  That is predicated on beating Rice though.

Our new offensive scheme will put us in a position to be competitive with every team on our schedule, including Florida. If we lose I think it'll close and competitive, rather than losing by 40 every game like last year.

You realize Florida had the #8-ranked defense last year, right?  Our offense can be awesome, but when it runs up against a great defense... *stops this thought & begins thinking positive* ...Florida is gonna get LIT UP!!!

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
