Will MT EVER win a conference title?

You mean "earn the automatic bowl bid"? Middle Tennessee has won the co-championship twice. This season was eerily similar to the 2001 season only this time we were edged by Troy and we kicked the crap out of North Texas.

But it's a 7-5 record and with only 68 guys on scholarship. Is it any wonder why Stockstill was named ESPN.com's Sun Belt Coach of the Year?

He made a great improvement with your program in just one year. Hopefully we can look forward to the same progress in '07.

If Troy wins next week, it is Troy. If they lose, it is MTSU.

Troy took the lead over the MUTS with 14 seconds left. laugh.gif

I guess I'll be a Troy fan next week too... MUTS = tongue.gif

co-championships with no bowl bids aren't really championships at all though, are they? tongue.gif

I mean, when you lose to the champion and all... kinda settles it right there on the ol' field.

Just having fun with you, BRP -- I think you guys were clearly the best team in the Belt this year -- just frustrating as hell to yack one up like that in that spot.

      bad night. ECU loses bad...at home. RJ Felton goes 1-12 with 5 turnovers. could read that as a fluke, or maybe that ECU is pretty spare. High Point loses to UNC-Greensboro...who again, don't look awful...but a W would've helped our resume UTSA, down 14 at the half storms back to force OT against an infinitely better program. I'm gonna assume St. Mary just started coasting and let their guard down USF barely beats 1-7 Stetson Evanston lost. McNeese lost. AAC looking like a 1 bid league again.

      UTSA (3-3) in OT vs St Mary's (7-1)

      Even forcing overtime is something of a miracle.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I hear you, and I appreciate that you're reading deeper than surface-level statistics. You raise good points and have valid concerns. To further add to the context of all this, I think it's worth noting that UCF was Sam Houston's second game of the year, which means it was the second game of Cassity implementing his system. Similarly, Texas State was Sam Houston's fifth game of the year, so both UCF and TxSt were within the first half of the season. While we all wish and hope for instant change, it's impossible to have a unit firing on all cylinders with a new scheme in the first half of a new coordinator's first year. When you take that into consideration, I think the important thing to look for is growth/progress/improvement throughout the season. After holding Texas State to 39, they held Western Kentucky to 31, Jacksonville State to 21, and Liberty to 18 as the season went on. WKU and Jax State are #1 and #2 in CUSA playing in the championship game, and Liberty finished the season 8-4 with a win over East Carolina (a team we lost to with an interim coach). Further, Texas State put up 28 on now 10-2 Arizona State (who's likely headed to the CFP) the week before they put up 39 on Sam Houston. An 11-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston isn't terrible in game 5 of a new coordinator. If you wipe out TxSt's defensive touchdown and consider it 32 points given up by Sam Houston's defense, that's only a 4-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston's defense. I know this isn't all an apples-to-apples comparison, and I agree that his decline from year 1 to year 2 at ACU is concerning. However, I think there are some arguments to suggest Cassity's defensive unit did pretty well in year one of implementation and showed respectable growth over the course of the season, which makes me skeptically optimistic.
