It's not often we get other fans on here to talk smack with , wish good luck etc. We do get a few SMU idiots browsing , but we really don't count them. I just want to wish you guys the best in the tourney and if you happen to pull off the "upset of the century :ph34r: " and beat us , I hope you guys WIN it all. If we have to lose in the 1st rd it might as well be to the National Champs. Also , C-USA is not in a Bull $hit Conference and I would love it if someone outside the " alliance " could cut down the nets.

Good Luck.

Memphis is a really good team and they were #5 in the nation for a long time. They swept C-USA and the tourney. I thought for sure UM would get a #1.

Remember Gonzaga. The first year they made the tournament, they SHOCKED Syracuse. I think that is still the only #15 seed to beat a #2 seed.

I'm not saying NT is the next "Gonzaga" but you have to start somewhere.

Gonazaga was never a 15 seed.

The 15 to beat the Orangemen was Richmond in '91.

The Zags started out as a #14 seed in 1995 , lost to Maryland

#10 seed in 1999 , beat Minnesota,Stanford,Florida ; lost to UConn... America falls in love w/ the Zags

#10 seed in 2000, beat Louisville,St.John's ; lost to Purdue

So I am wrong about that one. Still...no one had heard of Gonzaga and they made a splash in their first showing in the tournament. They have had at least a good 10 year run. Point is...you gota start somewhere.

I saw the thread with the upsets. There have been a lot more 15s beating 2s then I recall. Pretty rare though.

Well, of course. If there wasn't, we would play the games on paper or Nintendo WII.

If you want a chance based on percentages of how often it's done, here ya go.

#15 seed victories over #2's: 4

#2 seed victories over #15's: 84

That equates to, based on historical figures, a 4.55% chance you will pull off the victory. But hey...I've had rain on days where the chance was supposed to be 0%. That's why the games are played.

As I said in numerous threads on more than 1 messageboard. Memphis is better than we are at every position. They should beat us soundly. HOWEVER, if they're a bit off, and we have an outstanding game we have a shot.

Memphis won't cover the 18.5 line IMHO, but they'll get close.

****I really hope I'm wrong, but this isn't me being negative, it's being realistic******

From your historical perspective, it looks like 1 every 3 years or so... apparently, an upset is long over due :D

That's going below the belt! :angry:

I don't know if you saw us play last year, but if we were going for the groin, we would have hit you on the toe. We absolutely could do nothing right, but beat SMU and thank the lord for that.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
