Once again, lets not get ahead of ourselves. I'm wondering if N.O. Bowl really wants a 6&6 Tulane team. It might help us bowl wise if Green Wave beat Rice in Houston, But I don't see that happening.Of course, I didn't see UTSA happening either. The Roadrunners just flat beat us, no excuses.

I don't know how Tulane put up 36 points on E.C.U., or Old Dominion 38 points, but E.C.U. is still probably best in C.U.S.A. Regarding Marshall, their biggest win YTD is a one point victory over FAU coupled with a 2 point loss at MTSU. While is it's doubtful that The Heard can stay on the field with the Pirates, stranger things have happened.I think we could take care of Marshall,ECU is another matter. I just hope we don't overlook UTSA this Saturday.Their 5 losses are against very good teams ;Houston,Rice, Marshall,.Arizona,& Oklahoma. St.,

We just need to take care of business and not overlook our next 2 opponents. Having said that, Go Marshall.

EXACTLY,plus NEVER is a long time. Good response! For example, I never thought we would have a new stadium, let alone the eye popper that we ended up with.

Vast is an overstatement on my part, with the exception that our team has vastly improved.

Interesting. I googled 5 bowl projections websites. Vast majority had Marshall in Liberty bowl, North Texas in either H.O.D. or Military Bowl.

Tennessee still has to beat Vanderbilt at home on 23rd, which is not a given.Against 5 SEC common opponents [ both are 1&5],Tennessee beat South Carolina at home,and Vandy beat Georgia at home. Even if Tennessee beats Vandy, the best record they can have is 6&6, while Vandy should finish 7&5 even if they lose to Volunteers.

good post

I am assuming that Coach Mac is going to have numerous suitors after this season. Does he go or stay?

Certainly, but its a by week and idle hands.......

USA today, Bleacher report.My bad. I defer to BCS, which I hadn't seen.Regardless, we need to take care of business and hope Marshall beats ECU in Hunnington last game of season.

ECU ranked # 46,Marshall # 52, UNT # 57. I don't see how we jump over the winner of ECU at Marshall.

I don't think it matters since bowls trade teams like playing cards, but CUSA #1 should go to Liberty Bowl, and #2 to Hawaii.I am more concerned as to our position regarding tiebreaker as to who hosts CUSA championship. Our national ranking will not increase by beating UTSA and Tulsa, but ECU will jump if they beat both North Carolina in non conference game as well as Marshall at Huntington .The winner of ECU/Marshall game will be East Division champion, probably ranked ahead of us, and host CUSA championship.Am I correct in my assumption, as I am not 100% sure?

You are correct about K-State. My concern is that with the new A.A.C.,S.M.U. may need to alter its schedule. While we consider them as a rival, as pointed out, they certainly don't consider us one.

If memory serves this was in the last few minutes of an A.State in which we were getting pounded.I never understood why we just didn't leave Thompson on bench,direct snap to running back, and just run out the clock or punt . We were done, and so was Thompson's red shirt.

It is my understanding that R.V. has talked to both UTSA and La. Tech about establishing a traveling trophy. However, I don't know the status of these discussions.

UNT vs Iowa would add a nice Hayden Fry story to it, plus fans, as Iowa travels well.

Question to "forevereagle". Why are you posting comments from 2009 attributed to me? Ward White

I have slept since then, but this does not look like something that I care about or would post. Ward White

I did not post this. Ward White

UTSA concerns me.

In my freshman year of 61' we switched from leather helmets and got quite a bit of news coverage.

Marshall should win out, host ECU last game of season. ECU should also win remaining conference games with game against The Herd for division title.

I don't think they will win 6 games

Doesn't Armed Forces Bowl have MWC vs either CUSA or Navy? If so, and they pick Navy, looks like CUSA is down to 5 bowls, unless they can substitute for a conference that can't fill their commitments.
