If you could only win 2 out of these 4 games, which would they be? This question was posed to me by one of my work colleagues. I chose SMU and UH,  but that meant we lost to ACU and that stung...I just would much rather beat SMU and UH.

ACU

SMU

Cal

UH

The first two, because we’re expected to.

SMU sand UH are good choices.

SMU because of its impact locally, UH because of timing. A UH win would establish momentum and negate the sting of the ACU loss.

Also, King is likely the highest profile player we will face in that stretch. It could be really cool to see if the media elevates their perception of us and, more specifically, Fine with a Cougar win under our belts.

Lose to ACU and a win against UH means nothing.  

It will be seen as either “they were looking ahead” or “UH obviously wasn’t that good...they lost to a team that couldn’t beat Abilene Christian”

We can win the whole damn thing if we put our minds to it...… we rolled into Apogee 4-0 last year and fell on our swords.... The sky is the limit for this bunch if they have their heads on straight......

If we could only win 2, I choose SMU and Cal. SMU because I hate them. Cal because people remember P5 wins a lot longer than G5 losses for a school like us. Losing to ACU would suck tremendously though.

Perhaps, but as the season plays out people will have more evidence to make judgement about who overlooked who.

Until then, we would have a game 4 win and, with it, the optimism (cautious or not) going into game 6.   Maybe people will consider that we just overlooked ACU.

In reality, if we beat UH we’re probably not losers to ACU.  So, I’m grateful this probably doesn’t happen.

Yeah and with ACU being the first game of the season, that loss would be easier to explain away. 

It would also require details as to how the losses occurred.  A windy/rainy loss to ACU and/or with MF hurt or some crazy plays, etc. along with a last minute loss to Cal and 20+ pt wins over Smut/UHCoots wouldn't be too bad of a way to start 2-2.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
