We have just as much talent as anyone in CUSA

And better coaching. This is our last year in CUSA and we can win it. GO SMU.

I think Houston has recruited better than SMU but they will be starting some inexperienced players at key positions.

I agree.

It's all mental. For so many years we have lost to UH, I think we just have to overcome that and come out with a chip on our shoulders (hopefully JP will help with that). I think UH has had better teams than us during that stretch but not anymore.

Tulsa is the other team that we HAVE to beat obviously, which we have in the past. But that was the worst loss to stomach for me last year as Tulsa was the MUST win game and we didn't even show up.

Biggest games of the year are UH and Tulsa. Bigger than BU, aTm, and TCU although I'd like to win one of those and be very very competitive in the others. I'd take 3 losses there if it means wins against UH and Tulsa and a confUSA championship. (would like them to be very competitive games though).

Optimistic, positive and sun shining post will not be tolerated on this board of doom.

Not to mention a new Head Coach.

UCF, Houston, and USM will be the obvious obstacles. But if this offense starts clicking with Garrett, I really think we'll do it. Our defense is really special for CUSA.

It's really just UH and Tulsa as they are in our division. If we can't beat Rice, Tulane, and UTEP we have no business in the NBE. (tough love)

That is true about Rice, UTEP, and Tulane but I think we take it to UH and Tulsa as well IMO.
