I still think our guys will need to win 3 of these next 4 games to finish with a winning record (7-5) and assure a trip to some random bowl, which is still a good thing given the extra practices and perks for the players. Assuming a loss to Cincinnati, this means they have to beat Navy and then Tulsa in Tulsa before facing Houston in Ford Stadium. If they lose to Tulsa on 10/29 we can take solace in the fact our basketball team opens it's season with an exhibition game vs Paul Quinn that night. It's always good to see Paul visiting Moody as he usually gives the entire roster an opportunity to play.

I'm well aware of how tough it will be to beat Tulane...especially in NOLA but I think it comes down to how our guys react to last night's performance. If they play well and win 3 of the next 4 games, that puts us at 5-4 and I think we win 2 of the final 3. Beat Memphis at Ford and USF at their place and you can still lose in NOLA and finish 7-5. I'm not penciling in a win @ Tulsa, either. This team could finish 3-9 as easily as they could go 7-5.

At this point, 7-5 would be a great season. 5 wins out of the next 7 games would be outstanding but unlikely.

An 8-4 finish would be outstanding. I'd like to think 7-5 is very possible. Anything less will be disappointing but certainly possible.

So we are 2-3 with 7 games left with the most likely outcome of any remaining game a loss to Cincy (i will pencil that one in as a L)

That makes us 2-4 with 6 games left, any one winnable, any one lose-able.

Got to split it down the middle and say we go 3-3

So it looks like 5-7 to me.

Now if things break our way, that Memphis game on Thanksgiving weekend might determine our Frisco Bowl fate. Good news is it’s at Ford where we’ll have a huge home field advantage.

Sad bunch of people this forum, myself included. I did see one person hanging onto positivity... good for him.

It looks to me like we will be lucky to make it to the Frisco Bowl this year. And hope we draw someone we can beat, getting us to 7-6 overall.

And now it would appear a 7-5 finish would be a really good finish for this team. I'm assuming a loss at Tulane so they would have to run the table otherwise and I'm fearing a loss @ Tulsa and another loss to Houston at Ford could see this team go into a death spiral and finish 4-8

When does basketball tipoff?

Helluva game today. Seriously. Lots of reason for hope for the future. Stone is the real deal.

We are due to beat a good team this season so I think it is entirely possible we beat Tulane. The Sonny Dykes late season collapse had less to do with his coaching failures and more to do with our schedule. This season we have already played all of our toughest opponents. I think we have a good chance of finishing 7-5 if not 8-4. So far, the only game we lost that I thought we would win is TCU and that is mainly because TCU is playing much better than anyone could have predicted. Our losses aside from UCF have not been blowouts so we are very close to being where we want to be.
