We're Where I'd Think We'd Be

[MeanGreenHoops]

So I know you can't do this, but I did it anyway. I thought, assume I know what I know now about us and our opponents, how would I predict our season to go if we started right now! We actually know something about our team and opponents now rather than in August when we were picking games. So here's how I'd pick it. Notice I'd have us still at 2-3 although with two different results. I still see 7 wins possible and perhaps 8. How would you pick 'em?

H - Idaho - W

A - Ohio - L

H - Ball St. - L

A - Georgia - L

A - Tulane - W

H - MTSU - W

A - La Tech - L

A - So. Miss. - W

H - Rice - W

H - UTEP - W

H - UTSA - W

A - Tulsa - W

Edit: Sorry for the terrible title, I changed my mind on it 1/2 way through.

In the books . . .

H - Idaho - W

A - Ohio - L

H - Ball St. - W

A - Georgia - L

A - Tulane - L

Yet to come . . .

H - MTSU - ?

A - La Tech - W

A - So. Miss. - W

H - Rice - L

H - UTEP - W

H - UTSA - ?

A - Tulsa - ?

It's hard to predict much with this team. I could see us beating Rice at home, but I could also see us losing at LaTech. I could see us failing to hit 6 wins, but I could also see us winning out. Who knows?

ahhh...the greatness that is north texas football!!!

Again, if UTSA is a ?, we are a 4 win team.

At best.

And in the fine tradition of being right about UTSA:

Rice 40

UTSA 10

Wish is was 80 - 10

Well, UTSA is unquestionably better than Southern Miss, LaTech, and UTEP. So no, that would not necessarily set our ceiling at 4 wins.

[Dr. Seuss]

You have us winning 5 in a row.... We can't even get back to back wins

Yeah it felt crazy, but I'm banking on So. Miss. getting the road monkey off our back. We play well at home and I'm hoping the roll will carry through to Tulsa.

Don't know what it is now , but Vegas had UTSA as the favorite earlier this week

Lol!

Sucker bet if there ever was one.

Rice will roll them.

Did a professor at UTSA do "bad things" to you whilst in a trusted relationship?

One thing that worries me is we haven't really had our crap the bed game yet this season...ie like Houston last year. that could make one of the many "W"'s at the end of your list turn to an "L"...

Hopefully we won't have one at all this year - our games have thus far been very competitive.

It's fun to do bad things.

I think we should have beat Tulane by 14. I am hoping losing that game is our moment this year.

I hear you but we did lose that game on the road by 3 on a last 5 second field goal. Last year our CTB game was Houston and 2011 it were FIU. CTB = blowout, totally uninspired - can't do a damn thing right performance.

Houston and FIU were better than us, by a lot. That is why they killed us when we didn't show up. I really, really hope our CTB game was Tulane, cause we can't lose to have one if that wasn't it.

Agree to disagree but we had no business getting blown out by either of those teams in the manner we did. We're we expected to win no but those were really bad performances to me.

Well I hate to say it, but if it hasn't happened yet MTSU is a good candidate. These programs have a history and I think MTSU takes this game very seriously.

They hate use for disrespecting their sexiness.

Like I said last night.... I have a very strong feeling that Tulsa will predict whether or not we go to a bowl. Where the rest of the cards fall... ???????

Tomorrow's a pretty big game and it completely blows that I can't be there to watch it.

Yeah, Tulane definitely felt like a CTB moment.

[UNTexas]

Don't we have UTSA after a bye week? If so I hope the team executes better than the sloppiness of Tulane...

Tulane qualifies. They suck way worse than Houston last year and that FIU team was good.,

[JesseMartin]

I expected us to be 3-2 right now. Figured we'd split the MAC teams, beat Idaho and lose to Georgia, and then beat Tulane. On the upside, the teams I saw killing us are having bad seasons and may replace Tulane as one of the necessary wins. I still see 8 wins if we can pull off the rest of the close ones.

20-7 Rice up at half.
