0-14. I'm pretty much done with predicting anything less (or more) for Miners. Been disappointed getting my hopes up for a 6-6 bowl season for about the last half decade.

Maybe not that far off... Hadn't seen this posted yet, but UTEP's only decent receiver has decided to transfer.

that sucks.....my humor combined with text is sometimes misunderstood....and trust me, I was being sincere

It sucks balls to have a losing streak that makes one rethink controlled violence. ....then you become immune

I don't wish that on any conference member....ever.

3-9...two wins ooc

12-0

5 Wins with 3 being against FBS schools (might be able to mix in a home upset v. Rice or MTSU).

That sounds realistic to me.

Don't take Bethune-Cookman lightly.

Marshall has a great chance to be 12-0. Wouldn't surprise me if it happens.

But for now, I predict that they will lose to either Rice or Middle Tennessee.

I'm much, much more optimistic than you guys. I say 1-11 with a rousing home victory over NMSU by a field goal in double overtime. I also predict a good crowd for the TT game, a smaller but still decent crowd for NMSU and then smaller crowds the rest of the way. The MT game right after Thanksgiving will have the team, band and cheerleaders in attendance. Maybe the coaches will show up too but who knows since they will have pretty much disappeared for most of the year.

I'm going a little optimistic for ODU here (or else full of crap):

8/30 HAMPTON - W
9/6 at NC State - L
9/13 EASTERN MICHIGAN - W
9/20 at Rice - L
9/27 MIDDLE TENNESSEE - L
10/4 MARSHALL - L

11/1 at Vanderbilt - L
11/8 FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL - W
11/22 LA TECH - W
11/29 at Florida Atlantic - W
