He and most of the posters to that thread were East Carolina Pirates.

A case in point would be South Alabama. They've been in the lower half of the Sun Belt Conference with few wins since entering. Enter OC and Quarterback coach Major Applewhite. Last year was his first and USA moved the record up to 5-7. This year they are already bowl-eligible.

Derek Thompson obviously selected based on his 9-4 season rather than his body of work. I believe that all of the selectors are former members of the Hall of Fame so there is not set criteria for choosing. One could say that if Aune wins ten games he will likely be voted in.

FIU is improved but they are still a few bricks short of a load. UAB, so far, hasn't been the same under Coach Clark. It looks safe to say that they are not going to recover this year. Rice has also improved but again they had a lot of ground to cover and we catch them at home. I'm not counting my chicks before they're hatched but it looks like we have a pretty clear path to the championship game if we can keep our momentum. IF we win the championship and the bowl game (Shark Davis stayed for that) that would give us 10 wins and it would look silly to fire the coach.

Question? Let's say that we win out and CUSA doesn't lose a game...would there be a championship game? I don't think so. The East Division faded into oblivion when Marshall and Old Dominion went to the Sun Belt and we also lost Southern Miss. That leaves uneven divisions so there would be no East champion. The only way that I see we might get in a championship game is if (and that's a mighty big if) UTSA should lose a game along the way.

Yes, Loos Fieldhouse is a primary court of Dallas ISD.

Seth has a North Texas State shirt. I didn't know which way to take it...was he saying that we never surpassed our roots or that we've been around a long time. Why would he wear that?

I don't see it anywhere either. I don't know if the post was wrong or I had the wrong person. Ignore.

Commits to USC.

The old songs are from past students. If there are songs from the new generation it should follow the same criterion. I'm not sure how many artists are popular now but if you can find some by all means play them.

His long throws have too much air time. That enables another defensive back nearer to the receiver enough time to intercept.

I was about to post the same thing. He's had his chances; time to move on.

When did his clock start? Was it 2022 with ACU or was it 2018 with Texas Tech?

North Texas is a 6-point favorite against LaTech. I believe that we can handle them here.

6-6 is not a winning team but it's not a losing team either. A winning team is 7-5 or better. I wouldn't be surprised if the bowls that are left won't require seven wins next year as the playoff expands.

Does lacrosse require a separate field or can it be played on the soccer field?

I don't know how many there were but I aced it.

You guys don't know an eagle feather from a duck feather?

Well, our end zone may not look quite that fancy but I expect it to be very functional. It's my understanding that the videoboard will be removed (boo) and the Athletic Building will be expanded to include premium seating. The portion to the east will be a large expansion of the weight room. That could greatly improve our S and C. There are too many athletes trying to use a small weight room so that each athlete is scheduled over a twelve hour? day. With a lot more equipment (and room to use it) this should allow for more time on each machine with no odd scheduling hours. I'm thinking that the poor S and C has not been the fault of the coaches. There's to be more study rooms, training rooms and coaches offices. It may not be as flashy as Appy State but it'll be just as functional. Oh yeah. I believe that they are also going to improve the football locker room. I don't like them moving the big video and putting four small ones in each corner. I would hope that they will sooner or later put a board on the roof of the athletic building and/or the middle of the wing section.

Be sure to not offer any offensive lineman at Houston Westside.

Well, I'm handicapped and I park on the blue lot (I buy the pass) at one of the handicap parking spaces. The orange lot is for handicapped and is located across the interstate. They will transport you to Gate 2.

It's fun to criticize our attendance but I believe that we are reporting the count accurately. I don't know what's officially legal but I'd guess it's the scanned attendance plus the tickets sold but did not show. It's probably ditto for SMU too because I'm sure that SMU sells more tickets than is used. Having said that I was very disappointed in the student turnout. We have 40,000+students. If we could get half of them there we'd be near a sellout every game. It's the one thing that I would like to see worked on for next year. I believe that it was Tony that suggested a three-day "boot camp" at pre-registration time. Attendance everywhere is down a little mostly because of the Covid epidemic. But a new conference with eight new teams should inspire us to see if football is better. We will see some familiar names that we haven't played in a while and one (Temple) that we have never played. I look forward to the return of Tulsa. Tulane, Memphis, Navy, East Carolina, South Florida and the continuation of SMU on our schedule. We will also add Wichita State for all other sports except football. Many of them have never played at Apogee. The good Lord willing, I will attend all of the home games next year.

Puking Eagle is -2.

When I was a student here a long, long time ago there was a pep rally before each home game in front of the brand new student union. In retrospect, I believe that the rally was held on Friday noon. In addition, each fraternity sat together under their flag/banner and had a friendly competition on who could be the loudest and show the most spirit. I'd like to suggest that we do something similar beginning with next year's home games. Have a spirit cup that passes from organization to organization based on who has the most spirit. Perhaps let the fraternity or sorority that wins it the most that year keep the trophy. I'd also recommend that trailers advertising the game opponent and the time of the game be placed on campus the day before the game. Let the cheerleaders be the judges.
