I am looking at 6-6 as well. If our quarterback can stop throwing it to the opposing team and we have simply a bad defense instead of pathetic 7 or 8 wins are possible. Right now I will stick with 6. That said it's been a long while since UAB has proven it can win 6 games. Time for football to play its part.

That Troy game to begin the season is a "must win." It may be unfair to label the first game of the year that way. But to go bowling we have to get the W there.

Can't wait to "Green out" there stadium

I don't remember us ever finishing the year with USM before.

It'd be nice if CUSA would lock in some conference games to the same weekend every year.

Crazy, right?

BTW, I like playing them last, and would like to do it every year.

Apparently UAB will beat and lose to Rice in the regular season.

or they really think itll be UAB v Rice in the conference championship game

This is actually a pretty decent analysis. I think, and have thought since McGee arrived, that 6-6 was the number to shoot for this year. It is a likely result with the schedule.

You have to figure UAB should win against Northwestern State, FAU, and @UTSA.(although counting any road game makes me nervous)

Then there is a big jumble of games that could go either way, in the order I see from most likely to least likely to win:

@Troy
Southern Miss
@FIU
MTSU
Rice
@Marshall
@ECU

Then there are the two SEC opponents I assume are losses.

I also agree that the Troy game is huge this year. If UAB wins at Troy, they should go 2-2 in the non-conference portion of the schedule. With early conference games against FAU, FIU, MTSU, and UTSA, there is a realistic chance of getting to 5-3, or even 6-2. It's just so much easier for a coach to sell 2-2, but we lost to two SEC opponents than it is 1-3, and we lost to a Sun Belt program that our conference didn't want to add. I'm just hoping for 6-6 this year. With a little bit of luck, and no bad losses(and we are pretty much trained to believe there will be at least one of these), this team could get to 7-5 or 8-4.

I am actually expecting 6-6 myself, whether that is fair or not.

7-5 (or better... ) would just be ice cream and cake and cake.

We no getto 6-6 minimum and I am gonna be a sad little Panda going into Coach's (final; clutch?) S3...

QB is Key! QB is the queen on the chessboard... We not got it there, we no gatto...
