— Dream season: The Bobcats go 2-2 in September, start 3-1 in the Sun Belt and hold on in November to reach a bowl game.

— Nightmare season: The three wins come against Prairie View A&M, Georgia State and South Alabama.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING

— Where Texas State fans hang out: I think the best option is Bobcat Fans, which houses a very active message board.

— Returning starters: 13 (6 offense, 7 defense)

— 2012 record: 4-8 (2-4)

— 2013 schedule:

Aug. 31 at Southern Mississippi
Sept. 7 Prairie View A&M
Sept. 21 at Texas Tech
Sept. 28 Wyoming
Oct. 5 at Louisiana-Lafayette
Oct. 12 Louisiana-Monroe
Oct. 19 Georgia State
Oct. 26 South Alabama
Nov. 2 at Idaho
Nov. 16 at Arkansas State
Nov. 23 Western Kentucky
Nov. 29 at Troy

Is it bad that I hope they win the Sun Belt?

No I actually thought that same thing and I do hope that they do well although State and Western Kentucky will be tough.

I'll be pulling for future-CUSA-mates Western Kentucky.

Agreed best case would be for Western Kentucky to win it -- you gotta think they will be pretty good with Petrino and the talent left behind by Willie Taggart.

I hope the go 0-12. I just cannot root for anyone that we might have to compete against for recruits. If they start to win in the Sun Belt, it could get a litle closer to happening.

My feelings too.

As much as I love the dominance of Texas college football, North Texas needs all the recruits it can get.

We need TXST to lose as much as possible... I hate that it has to be this way.

Tough love.

This.

We need them to suck as much as possible. 0-12 would be just fine with me. I have nothing against Texas State, either, but I recognize that they, along with UTSA, could easily pass us by with the right string of winning seasons. And if that happens, we might as well kiss FBS football goodbye. Its been amazingly hard to build up a program with the SWC schools and UTEP as other Texas FBS programs. If we fall behind those two and stay as the 12th team in FBS in this state, we should just go back to FCS and call it a day. There is just no way that a school that is so new to FBS should surpass us that quickly from within our own state.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
