I am guessing that was 1968-1969 season when only home loss was to Louisville. I went to nearly all home games when I was a student. That was the team's best year while I was there - led by Coach Dan Spike and players "Little" Joe Hamilton, Crest Whitaker, and Lee Winfield. Fun times!

The scholarship limit goes from 85 to 105 next year, but the real news is the roster limits drop to 105. Many P4 teams carry more than that now. That will lessen opportunities for upward movement in the portals and give us an opportunity to pick up players from P4 rosters. Walk-ons will only happen to the extent teams do not offer 105 ships.

I cannot root for NT to lose. Beat Temple, decline a bowl bid, and finish 6-6.

I don/t think any conference opponents scored more than three passing TD's. They have given up rushing TD's so this may be an opportunity for rushing TD's. I predicted a win.

Real win equals moral victory!

UTEP will want to play on Wednesday from now on after a win last night.

It was not on the ESPN+ streaming network. It was on one of the ESPN cable channels.

7.5 feet of water?

Sounds familiar!

Need to beat FAU in Miami. After that we face #7 at Memphis, #6 Tulane at DATCU, and #5 Army at DATCU on consecutive Saturdays - a stretch that will define this team.

Correction - UTEP headed to MWC, not PACx.

UTEP, Colorado State, Utah State

SMU (5-7), W 46-21 Incarnate Word, W 58-16 at Arkansas (2-10), W 44-17, noted for a punt return that nobody will forget at Liberty (6-6), W 47-7 LaTech (8-5), L 27-29

AAC has 14 schools in football now. It takes two seasons to get all the head-to-head matchups now. Arguably it is the best of G conferences. Leave it alone.

The 1966-1967-1968 teams remain the best I have seen.

As a service academy, Air Force recruits nationally, so ten from Texas does not surprise me. UNLV and Nevada probably have to recruit out of state to field decent teams.

I find it somewhat ironic that both PAC and MWC currently have seven commitments each for 2026. Both need to find team eight somewhere else.

... and see themselves more at home in ACC or Big Ten.

... and no NIL.

They are out: 1 Texas, 2 SMU, 3 A&M, 4 Tech, 5 Texas State, 6 Baylor, 7 Sam Houston, 8 UNT, 9 TCU, 10 UTSA, 11 Houston, 12 Rice, 13 UTEP

Maybe "never" from your perspective, but student support was better in the late 1960's with a much smaller student body. Of course, we only lost five times (plus one tie) over three seasons 66-67-69.

Dave Campbell's Texas Football motivated Tech by rating us 5th and Tech 7th after week two. (We dropped to 10th and Tech moved up to 6th after last Saturday.) That will not be an issue against Wyoming.

That is tough travel for basketball teams.

It is past time for conference leaders to get creative and come up with conference names that do NOT include numbers. Big 12 and PAC-12 need new names, but I think Big Ten is iconic enough to stay as is.

Hopefully a lot while DirectTV has dropped ESPN in contract dispute. Does not impact ESPN+.
