Would 4-8 after last year be considered a step forward?

Are we competitive and playing a cleaner game and need to develop more? Or are we sloppy, mistake prone, and disinterested like the past. Record wise I wouldn't have a problem with 4-8 after what happened last year, its actually a brutal schedule. Prairie View just went to the swac championship game if im not mistaken, SE missouri has been in the playoffs recently and stomped us at home in '22, and Weber is an annual playoff participant. Then the two FBS games. I do think the southland is going to improve as well, Nicholls and UIW will be jostling for the title again, Lamar is much better, SLU had a fluke down year and will be up near the top again.

I agree. I wouldn't worry too much about our record. It won't be an accurate indicator of the direction of the program. Being competitive and clean in our game play will be better indicators of where we are headed. Let's keep looking up. Go Demons!

@ Tulsa -- L
PV A&M -- ?
@ Sou Ala -- L
Weber State -- L
@ SEMO -- L
Lamar -- ?
@ SELU -- ?
UIW -- ?
@ TAMU-Commerce -- ?
@ Nicholls -- ?
McNeese -- ?
@ HCU -- ?
I see two guaranteed losses and likely two more based on where they have been and where we have been. After that, who knows? We could go 0-12 or 3-9 or 5-7 or 7-5. I just hope we don't have a third O'fer year in 15/16 years. We have been terrible, so to expect a lot would be unrealistic and unfair. The only solace is the Southland is horrible right now outside of one season by UIW a couple years ago. Nicholls is the only SLC program to make the playoffs last year and they lost 35-0 in the first round at SIU. The Southland is a shell of itself and I am not sure it will ever recover.

How can you even surmise the upcoming season with no information? We have no roster posted, no dates for spring practice, and no news about the team whatsoever.

Its a fan forum, almost everything we talk about is conjecture or opinion. No harm in trying to access and surmise about the upcoming season. Honestly I wish we had more talk on here or predictions about the football season and start of the McCorkle's tenure. Spring ball starts monday and the roster is on the athletic website, there was uncertainty for a period of time with transfers in and out before a 2024 roster was posted...and it'll probably change a bit more before we play Tulsa on Aug 29. |

It seems they are totally rebuilding from the ground up. I guess that's why information about the program was at a trickle for awhile. One comment the Coach made was interesting and that was about some players are still figuring out if they want to be there or not. I am guessing spring practice will flush these players out or convince them to stay.

I’m with CajunDemon.. I obviously want to see W’s, but if we can just show some freaking discipline and effort I will be happy. Sad that things have fallen this far, but at least we have something to look forward to with a change in the coaching regime.
I don’t even know where to begin on forecasting a W/L record. To throw my hat in the ring I’ll say 3-9. Anything above that is a good start. Anything 5+ wins is a breakout season (can’t believe i typed that)
