I'm guessing losses will include -

Texas, Louisiana Jack and Akron.

SMU is such an emotional game who knows. I imagine they will be favored.

I think the days of us just waltzing through the Sunbelt are officially over. I predict the Sun Belt champion will have 2 league losses this year.

I think we will lose to Lafayette and Florida Atlantic but will win the rest.

I think our record will be around 500, we will beat smu and will win the sun belt on a tiebreaker. Other thoughts?

This could be a tricky year to watch.

On one hand we need our young guns to step up (FR. and RS Fr.)

We have experienced QB's and a top flight RB (when healthy) plus a big bruising FB if used correctly.

As I stated earlier the only true loss would be UT, but we should have a chance to win the rest if DD and coaches seek to out coach the opponents rather than keep trying to run over them with Dickey Ball and a soft zone defense.

Overall predict 7-5 (5-2 Belt)

Lose to UT, Tulsa, ULL, MTSU (about time with a new coach), and Akron sad.gif

Of course a pipe dream would be everything clicks our new coaches are awesome, DD/RF open playbooks and the Defense gets back to DeLoach type defense from 2001. easily could be 2-10 or 11-1

A tough call right now until I know that everyone's back and in good shape for the two-a-days.

My guess is 6-6; 5-2 in converence.

2006 SCHEDULE

SEPT 2 @TEXAS (loss: 38-10, remember 65-0? not this time..no Vincie-the-Pooh?)

SEPT 9 SMU (Win: 35-14... Bobby Chase is good, Jamario Thomas is better)

SEPT 16 @Tulsa (Loss: 28-21... A good team is a good team, but close)

Sept 23 @Akron (Win: 38-21.. Zips are good on Offense, trouble on D)

SEPT 30 MTSU (Win: if MTSU offense couldnt score on our "05" defense?..please)

OCT 7 Florida INT'L (Win: J-Mo goes nuts.. 45-21, Isaac Thomas has three sacks)

OCT 21 @Ark State (Win: 28-24, statement game..they have something of ours)

OCT 28 @Troy (Toss up? Will take a win here, but too close to predict)

NOV 4th LA TECH (Loss: 35-20, That defense will key on J-Mo, and blitz)

NOV 11 @Louisiana Lafayette (Win: 34-24, better OL makes the difference here)

NOV 18 Fla Atlantic (scary game: The Schnell will be ready. Win 24-21)

NOV 25 @ LA MONROE (Win: 31-24, Stephen Gyles meets the 3-4 defense)

I have us going 8-4 (including the Troy game in this one), but could be 9-3. If SMU beats us, all remaining bets are off...

GMG!!!

Being that I will be buying tickets next year (no longer a student) if we lose to SMU I will not go to a single game until Dickey is removed as coach. The alumni have to speak and if Dickey isn't capable of staying ahead of SMU then he is not the coach for us.

That being said I have us going 8-4. (2 Sun Belt losses and 2 OOC losses, Tulsa and Texas).

SEPT 2 @TEXAS --L (blowout)

SEPT 9 SMU --L (lose by 10+)

SEPT 16 @Tulsa --L (not close)

Sept 23 @Akron --L (high scoring)

SEPT 30 MTSU --W (close)

OCT 7 Florida INT'L --W (10+)

OCT 21 @Ark State --W (7+)

OCT 28 @Troy --L (close)

NOV 4th LA TECH --L (less than 7---we're turning the corner at this point in the sched)

NOV 11 @Louisiana Lafayette --W (7+)

NOV 18 Fla Atlantic --W (10+)

NOV 25 @ LA MONROE --W (10+)

6-6 by my count. 6-1 conference.

The question is, will that be good enough to go bowling again? I hope not--only b/c I want the Sun Belt rep to be good enough to win the game. I still think we are a year away. It'll take time for us to cleanse ourselves of all the losses from last year, but by mid-year we ought to be turning the corner with all the underclassmen and the new DC. I will be happy with 1 OOC win this year, and thrilled with 2. We have a history of starting slowly under DD and we are still relatively inexperienced.

SEPT 2 @TEXAS --L in a big way

SEPT 9 SMU --W...nailbiter, if you guys don't believe that Dickey knows his job rests on this date you're crazy

SEPT 16 @Tulsa --L by less than last year...bout 15.

Sept 23 @Akron --L but not by more than 10 and only because we're on the road

SEPT 30 MTSU --W and a big one

OCT 7 Florida INT'L --W by 20

OCT 21 @Ark State --W but only with a break here and there

OCT 28 @Troy --W

NOV 4th LA TECH --W This is my upset special

NOV 11 @Louisiana Lafayette --W by 3

NOV 18 Fla Atlantic --W by about 13

NOV 25 @ LA MONROE--W But this is my "trouble" game because of how they always play us at their place...I'll say we win by 5 but have to make a stand late

I have us at 9-3 which even to me sounds like a bit of lunacy but here is why. It's still the Belt folks. How can ANYONE say it's impossible to run through the belt? laugh.gif

Also, the SMU game smells of statement game to me...for Dickey and this team. La Tech may have been picked with my heart and not my head though. wink.gif

I'm also predicting another hamstring re-injury by # 20 and that he only plays in maybe 1/2 to 1/3 of this season's games... sad.gif

agreed. although FIU might be a lot closer than you think. They won several games at the end of last year and return a lot of players from that squad.

I would love to beat SMU, and I think it is important we do, but I would take a loss to SMU and a 9-3 season over a 6-6 season that features a W over the ponies. In other words, I want to sniff the top 25... at least get a couple votes. Baby steps...

I'd be offended if I couldn't actually see that happening. I just can't get rid of the bad taste from last season. How quickly a Mean Green fan can be dragged back down to Earth.

Please prove this wrong! My personal prediction is 6-6.

Ok, I will be assuming that there will be no major injuries in fall practice. I will also assume that the development that went on at QB, RB, DL, and in the OL during the spring continues into the fall.

Assuming all those things (and assuming that all of the coaching staff is wearing their "I didn't come here to lose" t-shirts under their game day gear), we should go 11-1

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
