It's a good feeling, but it's against a winless team and after the Tech curb stomping I'm not ready to drink the kool-aid. Let's see how next week goes then I'll take a sip.

If the defense keeps progressing, 7-5 is the floor in this wide-open conference.

Very big if. I would add that we need to get/stay healthy. The injury bug has bitten hard in the early season. Need to cut down on the penalties and flip the turnover ratio. We only have a couple of takeaways so far.

For once the scheduling gods have been favorable for us.  We handled Tulsa last year on the road.  If we are able to replicate that at home this weekend then we get a down FAU before we run the gauntlet of Memphis, Tulane and Army.  Those three games will tell us a lot about this year's squad.  Throw the record books out when it comes to UTSA.  ECU has been down but seems to be righting the ship (no pun intended), then we wrap up against a weak Temple team.

Yeah, that looks like 9-3 if things go really well which rarely happens.  So, throw in an additional loss and we're at 8-4.  We HAVE TO WIN the bowl game or play a really good game against a much better team.  The former gets us to 9-4 which isn't too bad, especially if this includes improvements in the defense along the way.  I'm assuming 2 conf losses keeps us out of the championship game.

Really a fun challenging schedule this season!

I really feel we will be at either Tulane here or Army here.  Oh how I remember the last time Army came here. We had a good crowd with lots of Army fans. They were setting close to me in section 207 crowing because they were ahead with 2 minutes to play. Well guess what Mr. Fine marched us down the field and as time was expiring we kicked a field goal to win. I told all the Army fans don't count your chickens before their hatched and they said oh no we wont let UNT drive on us we just don't do that. Well Mason did it and they left very dejected.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
