I'm looking at the rest of the schedule and thinking of what our final is gonna be this year. I'm thinking either 5-7 or 6-6.

I think for sure we win Troy and Mid Tenn. I think Western Kentucky is a swing and sadly don't see us pulling off a win over Arkansas State. Ark. State is 3-0 at home and have only lost two contests to Illinois and Virginia Tech, so I dunno if we pull this off there.

Your thoughts?

I'd take either! But it's the BELT and 7-5 is not impossible.

Anything is possible. This team has to have some consistent success in the passing game to have a realistic shot at a winning record. I think the defense is playing very well right now. Last week was a good indication of what can happen when the QB/WR's finally step up. If this can continue, it could get interesting.

I predicted 5-7 at the beginning of the year and sticking with that. Definitely a successful year, IMO. stAte will be a tough game for a NT team that's really bad on the road.

Got to pick up a road win or two. Arky State game will be tough, but with the way the team seems to be buying into the Coach mac system now, and with Thompson "coming of age". almost anything is possible at this point, so WHY NOT NORTH TEXAS INDEED!

I still think 5 wins is the "magic" number this season, but I would not faint dead away if I were wrong on the low side and UNT ends up with at least 6 wins. That would be some turn around in the first year.

Lot of comments about NT being really bad on the road. Yes, they were horrible in their first game against FIU and at Tulsa without their starting QB. However, I thought that NT played Alabama tough and the ULL game was definitely winnable until a fourth quarter collapse in a game were ULL had everything going for them. No doubt NT has played better at home but I am not sure they are a bad away team. The team is getting better and at this point I think NT would be favored in the rest of the games except Saturday and despite the posted odds, ASU is not unbeatable at home.

If the game plan is similar to this past weekend, the team for sure has a shot. If they go conservative like FIU and ULL then it will be a tough road to ho.

We should go in to Jonesboro with the attitude of "We've Got Nothing To Lose" and play loose. It will be a tough game for sure, but I really think we can end the year 6-6, but 5-7 should be in the bag. After the last few years, I would be extremely happy with both of those.

I think I would be somewhat satisfied with 5-7 for this year. That would represent the most wins for NT since our 7-5 record in 2004.

6-6 would be a big positive and nice first season for McCarney.

Good post, and that's an understatement.

In the 16 years since UNT returned to "1A", it has finished at/above .500 3 times.

It would be a major accomplishment for a first season, IMO.

And the Bi-polarness of this board continues.

This team needs to win on the road before we go all 7-5 up in here.

My original prediction was 6-6. I think we beat MTSU and WKU (barley) at home, and lose (possibly badly) to ASU on the road. That means 6-6 comes down to beating a very beatable Troy team on the road. Since I said 6-6 to start the season, I guess I'll have to go with a Troy road win.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Join the Infantry in Houston - Tuesday, 2/11 at 8pm

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.

      12,400 announced at Providence today, who came into the game with a record of 9-10. Providence is about the same distance to Boston as Denton is to Dallas.
