Great home schedule

I agree. Rivals and big names. I hope the team can be competitive so we can get some great crowds and wins at home

I have no idea why on earth we're playing you guys again when we haven't seen App or Southern yet. Looks like they did that to several teams, only thing I can figure is they wanted to get rotations right so there's no chance of playing someone at home or away twice in a row.

But we both now have more experienced rosters since that 2022 game where we're not sure tape actually exists of anymore, so it should at least be a competitive game.

At least we already know our two games for 2025, unless the conference wants to walk back the 'seeing every team once every four years' thing

Our fans are treated to a great home schedule. No reason not to show up.

Absolutely thrilled with this schedule. Can't wait.

Given most peoples'expectations going in, I thought this past year was fun as Hell.

Our best home schedule ever? I'd say yes...

Great schedule. I’d say 5 to 6 wins. But I only thought 3 this season, so maybe we’ll get 7 or 8. That would be amazing. We need a year like that.

I will wait until transfer cycle and recruiting period ends before I make predictions for 2024.

Why...You are just going to say 1 win.

I am fair and will let the process play itself out. I do not go into predictions with blind optimism. I have a realist take on everything.

What are you talking about? Any realist would predict 1 win. If you predict more than 1, you are wrong and just a homer. Same as last year.

Posters can predict whatever they want to predict. Props to those very few folks who actually said 6 wins last year. With that being said, do not be shocked if the Vegas betting odds still have us with a low wins total for 2024.

Who cares what the "Vegas betting odds" say?

There's no way to reasonably know until the games start what kind of team we're going to have this year

Vegas will look at our roster, and they will also likely take into account on how many 1-score games we were involved in this year. I wouldnt be shocked if they placed us around 3.5-4 games again in 2024.

That doesn't really make a lot of sense when you consider that we were not lucky in terms of one score games.
