[wardly]

Lets see how we look at home as an underdog against Ball State,which could be a true indicator as to our teams potential this season.Just an opinion.

exactly. UNT plays well at Apogee. Ball St. will come in expected to win. This game will be close. Can UNT dig deep and win? This game will be a key barometer.

They were good and we beat them. Game did prove to be a good barometer. Nice call

Round the bend crazy, here.

Home:

Idaho - win

Ball St. - loss

MTSU - loss

Rice - loss

UTEP - loss

UTSA - win (it freaking better be a win. A loss in this game could be a fireable offense)

Away:

Ohio - loss

Georgia - loss

La. Tech - loss

So. Miss. - loss

Tulane - win

Tulsa - loss

A much more realistic view. If things go perfect, we could also win So. Miss, La. Tech, and UTEP. But if things had gone perfect last year, I counted 8 wins. We got 4. Based on that half theory, I have 3 wins. Things rarely go perfect for any team in a football playing season.

I think people on here really underestimate the increased competition level of CUSA.

I love you UNT90

Pre BB Apocalypse

Now I see wins against Idaho and UTSA, plus one. Hopefully Tulane.

I liked your original prediction better. DT has been a revelation, and I'm thankful. Glory to the Green

[UNT90]

I love you UNT90

Kinda missed with the whole "increased competition theory.

In my feeble defense, I did say if things went perfectly (which they have) we could reach 6 wins.

Definitely did not see the Ball St win. That was a good football team we beat.

That was a good football team we beat.

yes sir, it was.

My mother had me tested after you called me crazy. I knew I wasn't crazy, but she made me go anyways

Something I think we also need to remember is that we are returning a very experienced team, we were extremely young last year and will have a lot of returning starters. If you're expectations are below 6-6 you need to raise those...

We have what I consider one 'unwinnable' game against Georgia, and two more very tough road games against Tulsa and La. tech... Outside of that, we should consider every other opponent an even match in my book...

I stand by this...

obviously i whiffed on Tulsa and La. Tech... but I stand by this...

[Eagle1855]

3-9, 4-8... until proven otherwise.

Ha. Proven otherwise.

[10Eagle10]

shameless plug, but can I get some love for that 9 win prediction over 49 weeks ago?!?! It's almost time to start a ridiculously early 2014 prediction thread...

[UNT90]

Ha. Proven otherwise.

Me, also.

It was a 9-win regular season prediction. Still, not bad at all.

Always better to let others point out your achievements.

But congrats, all the same.

I see Runner was terrorizing us almost a year ago at this time.

Just about EVERYONE had us beating UTSA and most beating Tulane.

A lot of us myself included had us losing to La Tech, but one guy did point out their youth and new coaching transition.

I hope that dude didn't throw himself into the Ecuadorian volcano after our loss to UTSA.

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!

[JesseMartin]

Without re-reading to check, I think I said 7, possibly 8 wins. I had us beating Tulane and UTSA but losing to La Tech, Rice, and Tulsa, but possibly pulling one of those off. So my total was about right, though which games we won/lost was way off in conference play.

Luckily, I changed my expectations for pick 'ems as the season wore on (but still got Tulane and UTSA wrong).

[oldguystudent]

14-0 +/- 14.

I was well within my margin of error. I'm therefore calling the prediction spot on.

[NT03]

Technically, we only won 8 in 2013

[filmerj]

All I know is I am glad I was wrong.

[untbowler]

Glad to be proven wrong, so 2014 slogan should be HIT 8+

wow... I was a lot closer than I remembered being. What I can't figure out anymore, is how I came to think we'd lose against La Tech.

Probably because they were good last year when they had a good qb and one of the best receivers in the country.
