La Tech wasn’t as good as I thought,  they will lose a game or 2.  They play FAU and W Kentucky, those are easily losses for them.  UTSA will be an issue for them as will UAB.   We handed this to them.  

If it had been up to our defense, we would have won.  We got beat on offense, special teams, and coaching.

I thought there were two phantom pass interference calls on us so we got beat on the officiating battle too.  At least it looked that way from my vantage point.

Our DB's didn't make any attempt to look back for the ball.  If we were on offense and didn't get the calls I'd be ticked..

I still think we are the best team in the conference. We are going to need help to prove that, but LA Tech didn’t beat us. We lost on poor execution. Two penalties in the 2nd gave LA Tech a free TD. Muffed punt. Missed FG. Bad 2 point conversation. Blocked FG. We were rolling to start and we lost the momentum.

FAU lost to MTSU tonight. They have definitely taken a step back. After tonight, La Tech is the fav from the West....Not sure how I see them lose 2 conference games given the status of the conference. 

I think Marshall might come out of the East.

I honestly think that LaTech is better than any other team remaining on their schedule, just like I believe we are better than any team we have played so far or will play, but this is football and you can be beaten any given Saturday. I mean did anyone honestly believe Old Dominion would beat Va Tech after being walloped by Liberty? Did anyone believe Texas would actually beat TCU? That just goes to show that LaTech could lose two more games in the west and we could be back in the driver's seat if we play like we are capable of playing. They have Rice, UTSA, USM, and UAB remaining in the west and none of those will be easy. All of those teams have the capability to beat them if they play well especially USM and UAB. UTSA will be tough in San Antonio and Rice will not just rollover for them. We are okay. We got punched in the mouth last night. How you respond to that is what will tell if we are building champions. We will be okay.

UTEP is in for a shit storm next week. Our team is going to go to El Paso with a chip on their shoulders and run Mike Canales out of the press box.

Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?  Hell NO!

I was with you until you said the "Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" LOL. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, but I knew what you were getting at.

La Tech is definitely the best team in the west.

I was impressed with how our offense moved. Unimpressed with the fumbles and special teams.

We clearly had the ability, firepower and defense to blow them out, but made too many individual mistakes at critical points. Especially on special teams. We did not maximize our abilities on a few plays. When you play good teams, that will kill you.

Just a very disappointing loss, but I am overall pretty pleased with the ability and potential. Just need to clean it up.

Okay. Now I got why he used that. I have not seen Animal House for over 20 to 30 years. Damn and here I was thinking he actually thought the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. LOL.

Close.  You're response was supposed to simply be "Germans?"

I vehemently disagree.  The best team in the West is in Denton, TX.

I guess we better hope they lose 2 conference games and we only have the 1 loss to them.

Then we'll be the best team in the west.

Usually, when a team wins lots of close games in a season, the next one rebalances back. I’ve seen it with the Rangers, Cowboys, etc...

itll be interesting to see how we handle close games going forward.

So are you saying that Auburn was better than Alabama last year?

      State of College Football

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
