    I think this hire will rethink itself. We just want to have success before it does.

  • Why does everyone think NC St is an automatic loss? Have had shown he can beat a top program on the road. If the offense clicks, this team is going to be special.

    No it should not be considered an automatic loss. Of course there is no road game anyone should consider an automatic win either...even if we have a 21 pt first qtr lead vs an average MAC team. Just don't see how anyone can see a team on bottom third in D1 FB offense can be projected as "special". We'll see.

    Speaking of road games, MU ticket office now has road games on sale:

    ECU $55 (their AAC conf schedule is putrid)
    NC State $40 (their stadium is almost entirely sold out for year/home games with Notre Dame, Clemson, Miami fl, UNC etc)
    Appy $65 (absurd to me)
    Coastal $ can't remember maybe $35
    SAlabama $25
    Ga State $25

    Government is the most dangerous institution known to man. Throughout history it has violated the rights of men more than any individual or group of individuals could do: it has killed people, enslaved them, sent them to forced labor and concentration camps, and regularly robbed and pillaged them of the fruits of their expended labor. ~ JOHN HOSPERS

  • Well, we had a bunch of posters complaining a year or two ago that Coach Huff was looking for another job and would jump at the first chance to leave MU. Now I reading posts that he should be fired if he doesn't win a championship this year. The board is almost bipolar on Huff or the Doc Suckers still can't accept the fact that Doc was let go.

    For the Doc supporters, the program was out of control. If some you knew how many of his players were in constant trouble, you would be glad he is gone. Doc's recruitment of misfits and trouble makers had a lot to do with his firing. The powers at MU were fed up with that situation and let him go.

    Huff had to come in change the culture at MU Football and he faces a much tougher conference to compete in than CUSA. The SBC is the best non power conference in college football. MU is not going to out talent the SBC like it did when we entered the MAC (a glorified 1-AA conference at that time) or the watered down version of CUSA we left.

    I agree, the jury is out on whether Huff can produce a SBC Championship. I do know he has given us the greatest victory in school history last year and we have haven't an embarrassment like losing to Akron at home 65-38. Akron finished in 4th place in the MAC East Division that year with a 5-7 record and their coach Terry Bowden was fired two years later. Let that sink in your mind while you think over that loss.  I thought Doc should have been fired after that game.

    Let's see how the season goes this year. Remember, injuries always play a big role at the SBC level of football since a lot of the backups are not as good as the starters. For posters always putting up an internet forecast, remember most of the predictors probably don't even know where MU is located much less than the level of talent on the team.

  • I say 5-7 overall, with 4-4 in the conference. Could easily slip to 4-8 overall, 3-5 in conference. Maybe Charles Huff has some wild cards in his hand. This message board gets spammed with so many (just looking, potential, possible, signed, in Huntington in camp), type of prospects, it's really hard to ascertain what is Athletic Department paid A.I. generated propaganda posted here, and what is reality. Key game(s) are at home vs. James Madison and the 3 out of 4 conference road games commencing in mid-October and ending in early November.

    Well, it doesn't look good for your other team.

  • 9 wins.  In conference title game.  that's my optimistic prediction.

    worse case 8.

    less than 8, time to rethink this hire.
    Ok, I took a picture of your post/prediction with my smartphone. (Friendly banter). I do agree with the 8 win ultimatum on hiring suitability.

    So is this where someone goes to the media and says we would love to schedule WVU but it would hurt our strength of schedule. 😂

    And I'm loving it.  Must see tv just to watch them fail and drown in self pity.  Waiting for their inevitable implosion that will take them decades to recover from has me on the edge of my seat.  I just hope it doesn't cost the taxpayers.

    Got my ECU, NC State, and Coastal tickets!  Disappointed I can't do App State.  4 games in the Carolinas is nice.
