Time to make some noise

Postby papawasamustang » Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:47 am

Back in the 06-07 season, Doh's first season, the team started out 10-1. In 07-08, the team had a 4 game winning streak. Mixed in over the last 3 1/2 years u find a few 2 game winning streaks.

Other than Doh's first season (his least talented team :) ), this program hasn't been able to build on any positive momentum. Momentum's a funny thing. If you can ever catch it, like the football team did, you start to believe & things start going your way. You start winning the close games, etc..

Looking @ the schedule, I see a great opportunity for the team to gain some momentum & actually have a pretty decent season. It had to start with a road win @ Rice & its never easy winning on the road, but they did. Next, back to back home games with Houston Baptist & UCF & a legit shot to win 3 in a row. Then Memphis comes to town, followed by two more winnable games on the road @ Southern Miss & Tulane. A realistic chance to be 4-4 half way through the conference schedule. Its not going to be easy, but it is possible.

Great to get another W tonight against UCF. Legit shot @ beating Memphis Saturday.

Yea, we have a shot at Memphis, no doubt. Need to win a few we aren't supposed to.

This team is about to turn the corner. Should be an exciting rest of the season.

If we win 6 of those final 12 games (along with a W today vs HBU) we finish 14-16 for the regular season with hopefully a little swagger going into the CUSA Tourney. All is not lost yet in my opinion.


HBU - W
UCF - W
11 conference games remainining - ?

We are on our way boys. Hopefully this is the start of a nice little run!

Rice - W (prior to above post and start of 4 game win streak

UCF - W
Memphis - W

Strong start to those final 12 conference games. 3 of next 4 on the road @ So Miss, Tulane, and UH with a home game vs UTEP mixed in. I wouldn't be shocked to see us take 3 of those 4 but we need to take at least 2 to keep the solid momentum going. Interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out...
