Really disappointing if that's how it actually ends up.

I think we can beat Tulane.

Should outscore them. Potential problem with Tulane is new coach Willie Fritz, and the possibility of some type of option offense against Malone's D.

That's a reasonable prediction.

No, it said we went 2-10 last year then failed to make a prediction about this year other than "four victories certainly doesn't seem unrealistic"

I think we are looking at two different pages; under the heading AAC Predictions and Schedules, it picks SMU to beat North Texas and Liberty, and lose all the rest.

I see 4 wins, 5 with a little luck

I think it is all about the QB. Secondary will be a lot better. LB play just needs to improve from the worst in college football history to bad. More playmakers on offense. If we get a decent performance out of QB, we will score enough points to win 4-6 games. If not, the defense won't be good enough to win games for the offense.

I read and generally respect College Football News, but really?

"Continued growth is anticipated, especially if a couple of capable linemen, like Texas transfer C Jake Raulerson, emerge on both sides of the ball." Is there another Jake Raulerson we don't know about? :lol:

"Sophomore Darrel Colbert and especially redshirt freshman Ben Hicks are making Davis work to keep his job." I hope this is true, but I don't believe anyone saw that in the Spring Game.

"SMU needs to roll when it can, particularly since the opening month also includes games with the Big 12’s Baylor and SMU."
Write your own punchline:
1) I assume Dr. Turner and Coach Morris will be making the big announcement shortly??
2) No wonder it's taking a couple of years to rebuild when half our team is in another conference?
