With an obvious show of that this team has improved and can win againist ANY and everyone they play againist (unless it's againist Texas A&M at Kyle Field)..What do think the expectations are for next season?

We've lost 4 games by 7 or less points..and we've actually won 4 games in itself...So lets look at the 2006 Schedule.

Our schedule is being brought back up to 12 games next season.

Our four non-district games including games againist Texas Tech, North Texas, Arkansas State, and Sam Houston State.

ASU and SHSU are for sure at home. North Texas is in Denton and we seem to be getting conflicting reports about the Texas Tech game being in Lubbock or Dallas.

Either way, IMO I think our expectation is to open the season with a 3-1 record. Can we beat Tech will be the question IMO. If we come out and beat Texas Tech right off the bat I think the expectations will rise very very fast in my eyes. Even if we take them down to the last play of the game.

Conference slate has..
@ Tulane
vs Marshall
vs UAB
@ ECU
vs Tulsa
@ Rice
vs Houston
@ UTEP

I haven't looked at what any of these teams have coming back expect I know Houston has some coming back.

Now the question, Should we expect this '06 team to make it all the way to the conference championship and win it. Or should we expect just a winning season and a bowl appearance.

Your thoughts?

We better be 11-0 or they don't get my $25 check
