If we don't win 6 next year, we have a coaching problem.
These are teams La Tech should beat in an average year: NW State, UTEP, UAB, ULL, North Texas, ODU, UTSA, and WKU.
Then Rice and USM should go either way, but I think we are more rebuilt than USM is at this point.

And I think we do, as you know

That wasn't an average team though. That was a clusterf.... We will have some experience and some continuity this year. Hopefully we'll look more average... not good or great, but more like an average Tech team.
I agree with this sentiment actually. This schedule, while more daunting with Auburn and OU, isn't a "OH MY" schedule. Last year's team dealt with a new offense, different defense, breaking in new players, blah blah blah, so we should see some improvements this year. If we don't see them, we know it's coaching, and we'll have to worry about that then.
I'm just disappointed in the home slate of games. This is very unappealing to season ticket buyers.
We shall see in about 8 months

T1, love your passion!! I am surprised you set the bar at 6, but I will take it!!! Going into CUSA I felt our biggest threat long term was going to be USM, good rivalry, etc...........we better not sleep on North Texas. They worry me more than anyone else in the west, including UTSA. We better get off our ARSE, get the SEZ rolling and pronto!!!
4 should be doable because we got 4 last year with very little experience on our team. (UAB, USM, NW State, and UTEP) UAB replaces FIU and NW State replaces Lamar.
Winning 2 of the remaining 6 should be expected. (ULL, North Texas, ODU, UTSA, WKU, Rice). Decent teams, but it's not exactly murderer's row. With better offensive execution, we can win 8 games next year. OL and QB play needs to improve and we will need a healthy Dixon for every game. I like the receivers better this year. I think every game besides OU and Auburn is going to be a war.
The thing about the schedule that bothers me is having to play OU and then travel to ULL at the start of the season. We know what to expect from the most of the teams we will play. It's more about how will Tech play?
Good post. I agree!!
Dang it T1. What are you doing getting me excited about the Bulldawgs again? Looking at the schedule makes be believe we can have a winning season if the boys work hard.
Stick around. Maddawg, Dwayne, and Dawg06 will be here to depress you soon.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to T1 again.Stick around. Maddawg, Dwayne, and Dawg06 will be here to depress you soon.
I'm still upset about a lack of home schedule and lack of quality in our home schedule. We have FOUR home games in the first 13 WEEKS of the season. One of the home games is against in state FCS foe Northwestern State, and the other three are conference games (UTEP, who was awful last season, UTSA, who has just become a full FBS member, and recent Sun Belt transfer Western Kentucky).
That is not a good schedule.
I got the same message
