SEASON PREDICTIONS: Post-UNT

[Charleston Pony]

Scheduling unt was and always will be a horrible idea. No upside for us. Only downside. Typical smu.

I will have to disagree. UNT is a team we should be playing every year home/home. The simple fact is that in the post SWC era, these teams have become local rivals. That is a pretty good UNT that smoked our guys last night and they should compete for the CUSA Championship this year. Our former rival, TCU, has left us in the rear view mirror, but as long as they will continue scheduling us, it gives SMU a chance to score a huge upset.

Cincy handled UCLA today. I think most had them inked in as a win. Best change to a pencil.

When I looked at this year's schedule, I will admit that Cincy was one of the games I had penciled in as a possible win. I assumed we beat HBU and that we would be competitive against Cincy and Navy this year. I'm going to stick with 4-8 because I think that UNT team is going to surprise some people this year and I still think we are going to be competitive against Tulsa, UConn and Tulane so I think 3 wins in conference play remains a possibility. I knew coming in that a loss at UNT, which I knew was VERY possible, would mean this year's team has very little chance of finding 6 wins and qualifying for a bowl game.

SMU UNDER 5 wins in vegas never looked so good.

2-10 (Houston baptist & Uconn). 0-4 going into HBU

Might be about right.

Maybe Sonny should Back To The Future us to 2014, and resign now

Tulsa may be a win.
Tulane looks competent against Wake Forest

Dykes is going no where and he's got top class in ACC. Bit this season is gonna be painful. And I'm going to Michigan.

This perpetual rebuild is tiring.

look..it's just the only thing they can sell
"Wait 'til next year"
"Be patient"
"The new on campus stadium will do it"
"The indoor practice facility will be the ticket"
Just wait untill so & so can replace so & so's players
"These new recruits will change the program"
Hey give the new guy "a couple of years"...
"We'll challenge for the Conf Championship "in 3 years"
"It's too risky to play North Texas State"
"North Texas State...hey this is just their year"
"A new outreach to the students"
"A new marketing push to City of Dallas"
Blah blah blah blah
Sit back, smile, and repeat after me, "Go Mustangs"
