Interesting to see that the dirtbirds are promoting their opener with Houston (#24) as only their second ranked opponent in the Alamodump.    Of course we aren't promoting jack-shit so there's that, but it made me wonder, how many ranked opponents have we had in the last 12 years at Apogee?  I'm thinking the only one is the dirtbirds?  How sad is that?  What happened with all the concerts and events promised as well as top ranked opponents that were to be there?  And this season we don't even have one Power 5 team on the schedule?  And yet many claim we can go 7-5, lose a bowl against a crappy team like Miami of Ohio and they are satisfied.  Just more broken promises.  Sorry to be so negative but I started the morning spilling my coffee on my white pants.

How sad is what? You act as if nUTSAck has the market cornered on playing UH. We just hosted them in 2019. There is no way to know what seasons UH will be ranked and when they won’t.

The better comparison would be P5 home opponents, since that is controllable.

Lol, the dirtbirds are all excited about hosting Cougar High.  We have hosted Houston 9 times out of our 15 total games with them (7-8 record).  

I agree that a bigger gauge of status is hosting P5 opponents overall.  And we have a larger history of that than many fans realize.  We used Texas Stadium and the Cotton Bowl for some of our home games, which included many P5 opponents, at Fouts too.  Past home games included BYU, Kansas, Kansas State, Texas A$M, Florida State, Oregon State, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Miss State, Indiana, Louisville, Cincy, and others.

I get your point but I think you need to be careful with the Cougar high label.  There are several publications stating they have an outside shot at the playoffs this year.

I always thought Cougar High was a shot at academics, not athletics.

So we’re upset that an off-campus stadium that can easily hold 35,000 opposing fans in a hotbed of high school talent draws more quality opponents who are willing to go there?

Draws more Quality opponents?   Lol.  Their biggest OOC home opponents in the next 10 years are Army once and Air Force once.  No P5 programs at all at home.  Meanwhile we will be hosting Cal, Baylor, Texas Tech, Missouri, and Colorado.

Well, since 2013 they have hosted Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Arizona, Baylor, Arizona State…and if you want to count OOC G5 teams that might move the needle, Army, UNLV, and Colorado State.

If all of the teams you mention in your post actually make it to Apogee, we’ll be about even in the OOC department.  I am FAR from a UTSA apologist, but let’s be 100% honest about the opponents we have each brought in since Apogee opened.

Don't many of those P5 programs take the penalty payment and drop the G5 away game before its ever played?

Was talking about future quality P5 home opponents in the next 10 years.   They have none.

Many of those were 2-1 series and we stopped doing them because it messes up your schedule. Wren has the right idea.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Join the Infantry in Houston - Tuesday, 2/11 at 8pm

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.

      12,400 announced at Providence today, who came into the game with a record of 9-10. Providence is about the same distance to Boston as Denton is to Dallas.
