I have no idea what to expect. I think we have 3-4 for sure losses, though.
@ Tulsa -- L PV -- ? @ USA -- L Weber State -- L @ SE Missouri -- L/? @sfa -- ? TAMU-Commerce -- ? @ Nicholls -- ? Lamar -- ? @slu -- ? McNeese -- ? @ HCU -- ?
I think we compete in most of these games. How many can we win? I am not sure that matters as much this season.

My prediction is that we start the season off rough with lots of new starters. As the season goes on I think that we will get some wins under our belt. I think 5 win ceiling for this young team.
vs Tulsa - L vs PV A&M - W vs USA - L vs Weber St - L vs SE Missouri - L vs SFA - L vs TAMU Comm - W vs Nicholls - L vs Lamar - W vs SLU - L vs McNeese - W vs HCU - W

I am going to say 4-8 with a ton of growth and promise for the future. McCorkle is 100% the right guy at the right time.

I'd be really happy with 4-8. Like myself and others have stated, how are we losing these games?
Are we getting plastered 49-3 at home vs Weber, or is it a 35-20 type of game? That makes a huge difference in the trajectory of the program under McCorkle to me. Blowout losses to Tulsa and South Alabama are to be expected, but how do we compete against FCS and southland foes will give us more clarity.

I’ll basically copy/paste what I said in the Conference Predictions thread.. I dont think we will necessarily “break through” this year, but I am expecting a competitive team at least, which hasn’t been the case in years past. I think the non-conference games will show a lot, but I’m not expecting W’s per se, and I’d be ecstatic for a 2-3 non-con record. Overall, I think our league is pretty weak.. I’m optimistically predicting 4-8 (3-4), but would not be surprised with anything between 2-10 (1-6) or 6-6 (4-3). If we win 6 games this year, I’m buying season tix for 2025.
vs. Tulsa - L vs. PV A&M - W (could see this being an L.. Will not be a fun year if we do) vs. South Alabama - L vs. Weber St - L (how we lose this game will show me a lot) vs. SE Missouri - W (Don’t know much about them, but maybe this is where we start turning a corner?) vs. SFA - L (Hate these jackasses, but they smoked us at home last year.. hard to see us escaping Nacogdoches with a win) vs. TAMU Comm - W vs. Nicholls - L (Would love to win this.. not optimistic, but you never know with rivalry games) vs. Lamar - W vs. SLU - L vs. McNeese - W vs. HCU - W
Obviously this is a very optimistic outlook on the season.. If this comes true, I’m buying season tix for 2025. I could see Lamar, McNeese, HCU, and SE Missouri being L’s, so a lot of variance.

SE Missouri has recently manhandled us the past two times we played them. That will be a tough game on the road.

I think we’ve only played SEMO once, back in 2022, but yeah they dominated us at homecoming.

You're right. They whipped us 51-16, though. I guess I was thinking Eastern Illinois. Sorry about that.

A couple of players from last years team are now with SEMO. I think they will handle up on us pretty easily, but at this point anything is possible.

Weber State will certainly be favored heavily against us in week 4, as they should be. Consistent playoff team with a "down" year last season at 6-5. (Remember when that used to be down year for us?) Anyway, they play Lamar the week before us and should beat them in beaumont as well. Much like Southeast Missouri they will be physical, well coached, and talented. Our best opportunity to win an out of conference game will be home sept. 7th against praire view.
