After we defeat PSU here is what is left

Thursday Oct. 15		Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Apogee Stadium, Denton, TX	6:30pm CT CBSSN
Saturday Oct. 24		at Marshall Thundering Herd Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington, WV	2:30pm CT FCS
Saturday Oct. 31		UTSA Roadrunners Apogee Stadium, Denton, TX	6:00pm CT ASN
Saturday Nov. 7		at Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, LA	2:30pm CT FCS
Saturday Nov. 14		at Tennessee Volunteers Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, TN	TBA
Saturday Nov. 21		at Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium, Murfreesboro, TN	11:00am CT ASN	---
Saturday Nov. 28		UTEP Miners Apogee Stadium, Denton, TX	TimeTBA FS1/FSN/FCS

So assuming we are 1-4, how would the rest of the season play out?  I know we probably would not be favored in any of the games or maybe UTEP/UTSA.  I just wonder how the rest of the season will play out in terms of our record.  I am thinking a 4 win season is possible with wins against UTEP, UTSA and MUTS as two of them are at home,  So potentially 4-8?  That sure sounds better than 0-12!  We would match last season's record without going down a notch.

So you are saying best case 3-9? 

[Lurker]

There is no way we beat MUTS.  UTEP maybe but not UTSA.  2-10 is as optimistic as I can be after what I have seen so far.

[Harry]

So you are saying best case 3-9? 

No best case is 4-8.  I do not see us beating La. Tech, Marshall, WKU or Tennessee.

My point is, 4-8 sounds a LOT better than 0-12 or 2-10 etc...

[oldguystudent]

WKU:  Won't attend.

Marshall:  Might listen.  Probably not

UTSA:  Will probably get a room in Denton that night

Tennessee:  I went to Graceland last year.  I liked it.  Don't judge.

MUTS:  Karl Benson's Sun Belt flagship skill fires from the starboard bow and sinks us

UTEP:  I join 15 other fans on a cold, rainy day the Saturday after Thanksgiving to get our last taste of the turkeys on the sideline

I applaud your optimism, but I don't see it happening. If we see 2 or 3 wins this season, I will be amazed.

Those are games we can be competitive in, but but unless there is a major change in how we are playing I can't see us winning every game we have a chance in. I don't want to hang zero win season on this school ever so 2-10 is much better to me than 0-12

I only see two more victories if we beat PSU in UTEP and UTSA. But that's the max. Absolute max. The team can feel free to prove me wrong, though. It would be nice to not have a double-digit number of losses.

[EagleMBA]

I had to think about this for a few minutes before posting. I DO believe in miracles...I DO! Summoning all the optimism I could muster, I couldn't get to 4 - 8 in my head.

I am already on record that we lose this Saturday. I would be so pleased to see us come out and blow them away that I would probably soil myself and leave smiling.

If we do win Saturday, I can see 2 - 10; if we don't, it could mean an 0fer.

Sorry for the gloom and doom, but I haven't seen anything to be optimistic about since SMU...and there wasn't much meat on that bone.

Harry, I know you are trying to be optimistic, but there ain't no way in hell we beat MTSU on the road.

IF we beat Portland St, we win one of two from either UTEP or Craphole. That is all. 

Unfortunately.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Sorry Harry, 

i dont think we beat MT.

If things remain the same at QB, the only shots we'll have are at home w/the UT system schools.  And I bet one of them is a heartbreaking loss.

2-10.

[NT91]

Let's make history...0-12

[untbowler]

we might get lucky and reach 2-10 if we luck out against UTEP.

Coker will probably bitch slap DMac for a 3rd straight year

[Tyler Maryak]

I want 2-10 beating UTSA and Portland State.  I think that's less likely than going 0-12.  Most likely, we'll beat Portland State and UTEP (seems to be a relative consensus). 

[MeanGreenD]

My optimism has been taken away by cold, hard reality.  We are not beating PSU.   There's a better chance of Jimmy John's making Rick Villarreal their official spokesperson

If we don't win we're pretty much done, with the only chances for victory being against the 2 UT step children. That 3 road game stretch in November is an absolute killer.

[casual fan]

By having only 5 home games, If we bear Portland State, UTSA, and UTEP, we would have a 3 - 2 home record.

I bet that would get talked about over and over again.

[Christopher Walker]

We goin' die.

[casual fan]

We goin' die.

You mean we still have a pulse !?!

I shouldn't have laughed so hard at these posts.

[Cerebus]

Well let's look at this one game at a time.  I think we beat PSU because of Wilson, after that:

WKU 4-1: Beat Vandy, LaTech Miami (OH) and Rice, Lost to Indiana by 3:  Could be the strongest team in the East.  Looks like a Sure L to me.

@Marshall 4-1: Beat Purdue, norfolk, Kent St, ODU, suprising loss to Ohio.  Second best team in the east, a their place , Sure L.

UTSA 1-4: Beat UTEP, Losses to Arizona, Kan. St, and Colorado St.  Tough early schedule.  This is our second best chance for a win.  Toss Up.

@LaTech 3-2: Beat southern, FIU, ULL.  Loses to WKU and Kan St. Solid CUSA team, probably second tier, but ahead of us.  In Ruston I think this is a very likely L.

@Tennessee 2-3: Beat BGSU and west car.  Losses to OU, Florida, and somehow Ark.  SEC speed and depth.  Sure loss.

@MTSU 2-3: Beat JSU Charlotte, Lost to Alabama, Illinois and Vandy:  Killed the teams they should have, lost to ILL and Vandy by a combined 6 points.  Looks like a tough team to me.  Likely L.

UTEP 2-3: Beat NMSU and Incarnate word.  Losses to Ark, TTech and UTSA.   If we can't beat UTSA this is our best bet for a FBS win this year.  Toss up since it is at home.

∴

• Sure Loses : 3
• Very Likely L: 1
• Likely L: 1
• Toss up: 2

∴

Absolutely everything goes perfect and Wilson runs for 1600 yards then our record is 4-8.

Most Likely: 2-10

Well, shit: 0-12

I predicted that we would beat SMU, PSU, UTSA, and UTEP at the beginning of the year, to finish at 4-8. The only caveat was that if we lost to SMU, we probably wouldn't beat another FBS team on our schedule, that Portland State was our one win for the year. Now, even that looks questionable. I think that 2 wins is the ceiling here, but 1-11 seems most likely, with 0-12 very possible, more than 2-10 is, IMO.

[Withers940]

we're going to run the table and finish with 8 wins after we win tomorrow
