Mandel projects the same matchup as McMurphy.

Ugh. McMurphy projects us in the New Mexico be Utah State.

I love how also ksu sources are trying to paint this as "Snyder's decision." Pretending like they believe he hasn't made up his mind. HE WANTS TO RETURN. This is all about if the AD and president feel comfortable pushing him out or not. The big donors must mostly also want him out, or it wouldn't have dragged on as long as it has. But no one wants to seem like the bad guy pushing the man who saved their program out the door. Getting sick of it, either have the guts to push him out and CLAIM IT AS YOUR DECISION, or let the legend have one more year

If you look at the New Orleans Bowl twitter account they are retweeting UAB posts since the end of the game.

The Volunteers?

We already have a lower league, the FCS. The blue bloods want that layer of G5 to protect them from players being able to sue them for use of their image, for workmans comp, for salary, or heavens forbid unionization. The P5 don't want a clean break, then want the lower level people muddling the waters. They'll just push more people out of the big money, they did it once with the G5, and they'll do it again with the lower level P5.

They'll never "break away" by choice because they have everything the want now. They get to protect themselves (and not play players or be responsible for injuries) by pretending this is amateur football, they have complete control of the TV money, they have complete control of the playoff access, and they have can make rules for all of FBS without consulting the G5, by NCAA law. This is as good as it gets for them. Becoming a minor league would be a disaster.

That is what I believe. P5 -> P4 Makes the brackets easier. I mean does UT really want to drag around Iowa St? Does Clemson really love being in a conference with Wake Forest? Does Alabama love having Vanderbilt in the SEC so much that they will hand them tens of millions a year?

This also means there is only one team in the country to have never trailed by one possession. Us.

UGA up 21-7 over Bama.

I think for everyone except the very, very, top: they understand they are on shaky ground. For the G5 fans, the days of Non AQ to AQ jumps is probably over, but they want to try and get into the P5 and they know time is running out. For the low to mid tier P5 fans, they are afraid of P5 -> P4 contraction. Everyone seems to know success in the next 10 years or so might decide if you end up in the real top division, or the pretend top division.

I'm hearing more than that. Main thing to remember is our leadership is better than we have ever had at NT. Have to trust them to find the next coach and continue to fund the program.

They have averaged right around 15k the last two years. A lot of fans are sick of Stockstill but you always run the risk of nosediving when you fire a winning, but not super successful coach.

Ton of talk this way. On to the next one.

HOLY SHIT. MTSU forced a punt with 1:05 left in the game. However the punt team broke the huddle with 12 players and UAB gets first.

Ton of contact not called, MTSU turns the ball over. UAB has the lead and only 1:21 left in the game. Miracle for MTSU to win now.

UAB takes the lead 27-25, MTSU will get the ball bak with about 3 minutes left in the 4th.

Arrested Development Voice Over: They did not. Have to punt back to UAB with 6 minutes left.

MTSU gets the ball back with a 1pt lead and 8 minutes left, if they want to be champions they need to drive for a TD right now.

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to know officially because CUSA takes part in that stupid ESPN bowl announcement show.

No they did not. That was jerry palm's projects. which were so bad they didn't even list the 1st Responders bowl.

MTSU AGAIN can't score a TD in the redzone. Now lead 25-24 off the FG, but they would be comfortably ahead if they didn't keep have to settling. If they lose, thats the story.
