I don’t think we will beat Ole Piss but if there was ever a shot for us to win it’s next year with players leaving, scholarship reductions Etc.....

I agree with your analysis. If there was a time ULM could pull the upset on Ole Piss it would be in 2018. I'm really not convinced that TA&M would be that tough a game (doesn't mean we'd win). There'll be even more confidence in our offense and hopefully we've fixed a lot of the defense problems, especially all the injuries we had in the secondary and at linebacker. When you have as many as five freshmen playing at the same time on defense like we did, well, it's gotta be better the next year! BUT...it will still be a season where we need to score a lot of points to win most of our games.

Prediction: ULM will be in a bowl game. I have no opinions yet on an appearance in the SBC championship game but anything could happen.
