Sorry I wasn't able to get this up over the weekend, as I'm sure everyone here has just been dying to see the preview on UNC for this upcoming season :lol: We don't play UNC this year, and I don't see myself spending a lot of time watching them this year, but I'll give them some love since they're not getting a lot of it from their local media. UNC has been a dumpster fire under Ed McCaffrey, and it's been a difficult offseason for the Bears flushed with rumors of players being abused and treated unfairly. Who knows how much of it is true or not, but if the offseason is any kind of reflection on what kind of season UNC will have, then I'd say it's not gonna be very good. They did get former UW QB Jacob Sirmon who for a long time was rumored to come to UM, but it never panned out. Maybe that will help out their case this year. With that, let's dive in!
September 3 vs. Houston Baptist - W. UNC destroyed the Huskies last season in Houston. Ever since Bailey Zappe left HBU, the Huskies have fallen on hard times. I think they're probably going to be the worst team in the Southland this year. UNC rolls at home.
September 10 @ Wyoming - L. Really interested to see what kind of a team the Cowboys are gonna have this year. They got beat up pretty bad in the portal losing both of their QB's to the cats and Utah State, along with their stud RB to ASU. They did bring in some nice players out of the portal, but I feel like Wyoming won't be very good this year. IDK if I could even see them qualifying for a bowl game this year, but they'll have no problem beating UNC, that's for sure.
September 17 @ Lamar - L. UNC lost this game at home last year, now this year they're on the road. UNC was missing a bunch of starters in this game last year and I really don't know much about Lamar other then they really hated the WAC and abandoned ship after a year :lol: so I guess I'll just take Lamar at home.
September 24 vs. Idaho State - W. This might be their only chance at winning a conference game this year. The rest of their schedule is pretty tough so we'll see.
October 1 @ Idaho - L. The Vandy's will not lose this game. There's just no way.
October 8 @ Sacramento State - L. They'll be lucky to score 10 points in this one, and lucky to not give up more then 35 points. Gonna be a long night in Sacramento.
October 15 vs. Montana State - L. I may actually watch this game. If there aren't at least 10 suspensions for each team after this game then I will be disappointed. I hope this game is just one big fist fight. Cats should roll in this game though.
October 22 vs. UC Davis - L. Man, it doesn't get any easier for the Bears does it? It's gonna be tough sledding in the month of October. Good luck to ya UNC!
October 29 BYE. This will be the highlight of the month for them :lol:
November 5 @ Portland State - L. I think PSU can win this game at home. I've been tough on the Viks, and we'll talk about them next week, but they can win this game. I believe in Barny's squad!
November 12 vs. Northern Arizona - L. Not happening!
November 19 @ Eastern Washington - L. This could be a very important game for Eastern. They could be firmly on the playoff bubble in this game. They cannot afford a hiccup in this one. God help them if they lose this game at home. I would hope a home loss to UNC would be enough to can Aaron Best!
----------------------------------------------------------------
I got UNC going 2-9, and really I think their ceiling is 3-8. I don't see how they do any better then that. I feel like they're starting to recruit better, but their coaching staff is so bad that they're just not producing on the field. That's my prediction! Thoughts????
