What if...we ran the table...including La Tech?

That would mean we won the Belt...something not many people I guess care about anymore, because hey the is the Sunbelt. (meant to be snide)

BUT...we would have also gone 2-2 outside the conference (I know we play 5 games outside of conference, but I don't count UT as a winable game no matter what some of you think, or what kind of fan that makes me)

We would be 9-3, wins against SMU and LaTech, both at home, our only losses against UT, Tulsa (both pretty damn good teams), and Akron who the book is still out on.

We would also be going to another Bowl. We would only be losing arguably 5 impact seniors, making us a front runner for 2007.

Would you...especially you "negative posters", and anyone else for that matter still be on DD's ass?

Very interested...this could very well happen.

I also understand worse things could happen, but running the table is definitely a possibility.

Just to throw my opinion out there...I think if this team went 9-3, you would still have people out there saying the sky is falling. Raining on the parade of would be a phenominal 9-3 season.

Add to that Big Dawg, that after a 2-9 season DD would once again be coach of the year.

I thought about that one Big Dawg. I would be happy with this season because of last years crappy record/showing. Though I am extremely frustrated with such horrible showings against very very winnable games.

My opinion, however, is that we wont win out. I am thinking two more losses this year at least.

here is to hoping I am wrong.

I would feel that we are very lucky if we post at the very least a 6-6 record.

If we did win out the rest of our games, I'd be happy with that portion of the season, but as Travis mentioned, frustrated with our Tulsa and Akron performances.

As a fan, of course I'd be happy if we won 8 games in a row, especially after losing 12 out of our last 14. A 9-3 mark would be beyond my expectations. And I like going to New Orleans.

But if you're asking if winning nine games over teams ranked #95 and lower constitutes forward progress for the program as a whole, I'd say probably not. We've established that we can compete in the Sunbelt; that's not the issue. We won't take the next step towards respectability until we can play on the same field as teams ranked #40-70, and we can beat teams ranked 70 and lower regularly. That's the frustration with the "bashers", appearing as if we don't belong on the field with the Akron', Tulsa's and La Tech's of the world.

Gotta go, its game time.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
