North Texas. Man there should be a blues song about their season last year.

I live less than 5 miles from that school. Have not attended a single game due to the price of admission.

Honestly the price would have been worth it for their game against Portland state. I am assuming that was a home game.

Tulane. They got former Southern coach Willie Fritz this year.

Where's the hint for the next school? This isn't much fun.

For reasons unknown, Paul Myerberg stopped his series, and the Orlando Sentinel has not stepped up their game to his level yet.

I went to their contact page and sent them a request for hints. We'll see how that goes.

Central Florida?

Boston College? See, this is what happens with no clues. We're shooting in the dark. I change my guess to one of the UL schools or Buffalo. Myerberg needs to step his game up and outdo the Mickey Mouse Times.

What's really dumb is that they tell you the number of returning starters and then how many they lost. Apparently, the people of Orlando are too dumb to figure it out.

Seems appropriate

Seems appropriate

They used to have a video on youtube of his El Mocambo performance, which is the best, IMO. Can't seem to find it now.

Well, as least this year we won't have to wait very long to see GT's writeup.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Anyone remember where we came in last year? Top 20, I'm guessing. Realistic guesses on this year?

I don't think we had a thread for one last year. I'll do some digging and see if Orlando Sentinel has one.

EDIT: #22 per Orlando Sentinel.

EDIT: #55 in 2014, coming off a 7-6 season.

My realistic guess is that they put us somewhere in the bottom half this year.

Thanks! I was thinking maybe around 60, which would admittedly be high considering last year's record. We are a tough team to predict even for those who cover us exclusively.

Three P5 teams outside the top 100 so far.

Clearly #120 should be Kansas State.
