2 publications are in the middle of their preseason college football rankings countdown: Paul Myerberg of USA Today, and the Orlando Sentinel. I will post WMU and our 2014 opponents when they show up in the rankings.

Oh, whoops. You're right.


Well perhaps we can have a genuine discussion in this thread without it turning into a DB/Persky pissing match.

I'll start! It looks like we have some very winnable games on our schedule with Purdue, Murray State, Idaho, Miami (OH) and EMU. If this team has improved at all, and I said IF....then we could see a significant improvement in the 'W' column as well.

Murray state is the only game I would favor us in at this point.

If we beat Purdue Darrell Hazell may be fired next day.

If we beat Purdue, I start the process of getting my family passports when we get back in town for Christmas Eve in the Bahamas!

You forgot CMU.

Obviously we should be at least 6-6 and bowl eligible!

I want SO BAD to get down with that 6-6 season.

I'm with Kimbo. I start at 1 with a win over Murray State. And the guys better not overlook that game or the same thing could happen as last year.

After that, it's a matter of planning, direction, and control. I really truly hope it comes together for us and we get on a roll and win a few games. That would be so sweet.

I'm still shell-shocked from how inept we were last season. I'll take each game as it comes in 2014.
