I know we all aren't Miss Cleo but hey, I wanna see what you think about the men's season this year.

ITS BAAAAAAACK!!! Come on people...Vote and then explain your vote...

The Guy on the team seems excited. He said coach has been working them hard. This year we have lots of returning players. And there aint no funny business on the team right now.

I'm going with the over, because from looking at the schedule, we could conceivably have only three losses (UT, A&M, Rice) by the time conference play starts.

Personally I think we can beat Rice.

My guess is 16. So I have to go with the under. If we do win 16 games I will be ecstatic considering how this team was in the cellar 2 years ago.

With the schedule above, I have us going 18-11 in the regular season. Of course though, anything over .500 I would be pleased with the progress, but I'm really looking for this team to do something big in the next few years. Hopefully this year or the next before Bush is gone.[/b]

Just so everyone knows...the November 5th game is an exhibition game and not a regular season game so the Cats have 29 regular season games this year.


Oh and since Maximum put this up...thought I might steal it and offer my thoughts

Call me crazy but I can see a 23-6 team this year and with the addition of the 6'10" Gough and 6'8" Sloan. These two in Davalos' system could wreck shop on the SLC. The SLC will be very competitive this year I think and a 11-5 SLC record could get the Cats about a #5 seed or possibly a #4 if everybody beats up everybody else except for Texas State.

Take A&M-CC out of the mix and the Bobcats could be the class of the SLC. Like I said before, call me crazy or looney or insane....maybe it is because it's halloween.

I think the concordia game is considered a scrimmage so that would actually not count as a win towards our season total.

I'm predicting 11-13 wins this year. Obviously the team is better only really losing one player and adding some size. I'm interested to see how Davalos does in his 2nd year with our ridiculously up-tempo play. I hope for over 17 but I think we'll have to wait till 08-09 to reach 17.

I hope we win over 17 games and get in the SLC tournament wreck some teams dreams and win it all.

You wanna play football in a conference besides the sun belt?? Well guess what... it all starts on the hard wood. Our performance on the basketball court the next 4 years will have more impact on our future I-A conference than how we do on the football field.

MaximumBobcat has predicted the season perfectly so far...

Don't under-estimate Sam.

They are my pick for SLC champ.

I picked 17 when talking to '05 at the first basketball game. I hope they prove me wrong and win more than that.

Forgetting about SHSU? Undefeated with wins over Texas Tech and quality mid-majors Fresno and Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

4th in the nation in RPI. 11th in the nation in the mid-major poll. And we have a vote in the AP poll.

AND the 2nd longest non-conference home-court winning streak in the nation.

But don't forget about UTA too. :)
