The only possible worrisome thing would be the admin start to go lazy with our programs (Football and Basketball). It's great that our conference mates are putting the investment in to not only build their brand but also the conference. It will be crucial to build a program to be in the top 4 in all categories for both basketball and football. It's absolutely critical especially with talks of realignment occurring. Next season needs to be an 8 win or more season.
1) Arkansas State - on the road and will be extremely tough especially given our QB situation
2) NTCC @ home - this needs to be a win and reverse this idea that they're a rival
3) Texas State - should be an auto win (3-9 this season)
4) TCU - away and hopefully is competitive but like most sadly, a L
5) Houston - away - I think this can be a win given a new coach's first year
6) Memphis - away - probably a L
7) Navy - away - hopefully a W
ECU - home - hopefully a W
9) Temple - home - tough matchup
10) Tulane - home - should be a win
11) Tulsa - home - should be a win
12) USF - away - probably a L
Non- conference: 3-1
Conference: 5-3
Season 8-4 - I hope for surprise wins and hopefully we are perfect at home to offset any tough losses on the road. Thoughts? I really hope no one on here is thinking 7-5 would be a feat, especially 6-6.
