The 12 are:

NTSU

@houston
@tulsa
utep
rice
tulane
Memphis
@ UCF

Home and away on the three C-USA East games are just my guess

Then it gets ugly.

I see that too. Let me explain:

*this is based on this years teams so i could be way off*

Tech - loss. (0-1)
NTSU - win, revenge game (1-1)
@Arkstate - another win, we killed them last year, they are not good (2-1)
@tcu - could go either way, but its a road game, so thats a loss (2-2)
@houston - no kolb, and we played them pretty well this year but a tough road game (2-3)
@tulsa - could go either way too, but its a tough road game (2-4)
utep - should have beat them this year, no more Palmer or Higgins = win for us (3-4)
rice - the biggest game of the year, we shut down dillard (4-4)
tulane - tulane. enough said (5-4)
Memphis - worst team in the conference (6-4) Bowl eligible!!
@ UCF - a road game, but a win vs. a bad team (7-4) going bowling!
@ So. Miss - southern miss' D shuts us down and we lose bad, but still finish 7-5 and a trip to some crummy bowl.

If we patch up the offense to score more points and hope some young defenders step up, we could do this. I am already excited for next year.

I see us finding a way to beat the froggies in FW to jump start our season but I see us losing to Tech, Houston, Tulsa, Rice, and Southern Miss. The wheels almost fall off the bus with a 3 game losing skid but PB pulls the team to win the next 3 and lose to So Miss....New Orleans here we come.

That isn't the order; C-USA hasn't announced the schedule

Let's make sure we can handle Arkansas St. in Jonesboro before we go printing those bowl tickets. More questionmarks due to graduation in years. SMU needs immediate help in the Defensive Line most of all. Needs that may or may not be filled with candidates on campus including WR, S, CB, LB depth, OLM ie. We have questions all over the field. I feel reasonably good about QB, whatever position Emanuel Sanders is placed at, first team LBs, Punter, place kicker and KO Returner. The other positions need substantial improvement to be mediocre. I think Tony Hawkins has really made strides as a LB considering the position is new to him. Carrington will be solid. Mccray has experience to be all right-never thought of that kid as a dominant player though. UH showed us just how slow we are at Safety-we could really use a JUCO there-maybe K.J. Ellis the Tech transfer can help at SS or is he at OLB. Columbus Givens needs to really step-he lead the team in yards per catch but his he needs to be more consistent. We definitely need help at whatever position Phil starts the Great American Hero at.

I predicted 7-5 this year too...but we all know the UNT game ruined this years bowl chances.

Interesting road trips next year.

I enjoy visiting stadiums all over the country.


@Arkstate --- Fly Southwest to Little Rock and drive what an hour?

@TCU - easy drive

@Houston - easy drive

@Tulsa - Fly Southwest or drive

@UCF - Is this in Orlando?

@So. Miss - Fly to New Orleans and drive an hour north east?

Yes, UCF is in Orlando. I sure hope that doesn't end up being a Mickey Mouse kind of game!

Looks like the UCF game might fall somewhere around Thanksgiving week...right?
