Certainly, that glass half full attitude applies to the Bobcats — at least if preseason predictions are worth anything.
When Athlon magazine rolled out its rankings on Tuesday, the publication predicted that Texas State will finish tenth in the 11-team Sun Belt, just ahead of Louisiana-Monroe.
Aside from being called cellar dwellers, what the Bobcats and Warhawks have in common is both underwent a leadership overhaul. Todd Berry was ousted during the middle of last season while Dennis Franchione retired from the coaching profession in December.
Ironically enough, Texas State and ULM both went to the Football Championship Subdivision ranks to find a coach.
