1. Its homecoming

2. This is pre-season win prediction

3. FIU isn't very good

If Dodge can't win today there is no reason not to fire him on Monday.

I kind of feel like the "must win" tag went out with the Rice and Army games. The chance for 7 wins is all but over. To me these are "salvage something from this season" games.

FIU is 1-4 but they aren't as bad as you think. Take out the Pittsburgh game but they played Rutgers, Texas A&M, and Maryland very close. Their only win has been against WKU who they themselves are much improved. Expect a loss today because FIU is the better coached team.

We are not going to win 7 games this year, probably not even 4 or 5...

So, there are no "must win" games left in this season... Only opportunities to prove heart and desire and position the team for next season...

I would bet that TD could lose two more games and still come back next year. That is expecially true if K-State is not one of those losses. Unfortunately, K-State is looking like a top 4 Big 12 team this year.

K-State is looking like a top 4 Big 12 team this year.

67th percentile of the 4th best group of 12 teams in the nation?

But seriously, sitting at 5-1 midway through the season, I'd guess that K-State will be facing serious bowl implications at the end of regular season. They're not gonna' send out the B team at Fouts.

5-7 might be enough to bring TD back (though I wouldn't agree with that decision)...

But right now I see no way our undermanned group is going to hang with K-State...

And Troy and MTSU aren't looking too winnable either...

I'd just like them to stay in these games and show fight and heart...

He should be reassigned after the FIU game, if it's a loss. We all know, in the end money and a tight pocket book for NT brought him back for a 4th year. Maybe, this way, he'll quit at years end.

I wonder if DD puts in a call to Mr Coffman and says "you know what they did to me ?"

I wonder if KSU will be MAD that they weren't let out of this contract and wants to make a statement ?

A loss may mean the loss of 100,000s of thousands $$ in the sense that they could drop in priority when it comes to a bowl selection group.

I'm sure they will wait till they are up 50 before they start pulling starters

Close. 34-10 and FIU was only favored by a touchdown.

Most reputable sources had us picked for 3-9, with wins over WKY, ULM, and FIU.

Dodge can't even win the few games he's predicted to. Why wait fire the guy, he lost the last homecoming game at Fouts.

Umm, have you seen them play this year, well, before tonight? Their OOC was very tough and they were in all of those games and played their opponents EXTREMELY tough.

That was a similar look I had after the Friday meltdown. Unfortunately I have had that same look since the day TD coached his first game at NT.

Maybe that is just Nolan's drunk look. Pres. Bush doesn't drink, so those are 2 beers sitting directly in front of Nolan. Can't blame him for double fisting it in that game.

I recall reading during his presidency that George Bush drinks non-alcoholic beer like there's no tomorrow. Given that he's ex-president and ex-owner of the team, I wouldn't be surprised if ole' Nolan had a case of the stuff brought in for him.

      First College Net Rankings released

      Nobody is putting Utah State 25 spots in front of UConn, it's not a poll ranking. It's just computer metrics, really not that deep. That said, there's a great website that shows you how every poll voter voted. It includes graphs and even highlights extreme picks when they put a team 5 or more spots away from their poll ranking. Several journalists voted USU in the top 25 along with UConn and Dayton both unranked. Who knows what their actual gap would be if those journalists ranked to 40. Below is the website. Click on a team to see that team's week-by-week ranking via graph, then scroll down to see where each journalist ranked that team. You can click on that journalist's name to see how they voted. I have fun on the website and hope you enjoy it as well! https://collegepolltracker.com/basketball/2024/week-5

      First College Net Rankings released

      let's try to get this thing back on the rails... Evansville (269) Minnesota (155) McNeese (75) Oregon State (49) Northern Iowa (167) Utah State (14) High Point (190) MVSU (364...literally dead last) App State (199) Houston Christian (347) I know it really showed through this year, but the next step in this program is clearly upping the non-con scheduling...especially if half the AAC teams are gonna be dragging down our NET rankings. I know the SEC/ACC; Big 12/Big East challenges are TV/ESPN driven, but it'd be incredible if the AAC could have a similar set up with another solid basketball conference like the A-10, WCC, MVC, MWC...surely ESPNU would chip in a turkey sandwich for that, right? anyone know if that McNeese game is a home/home? if they can keep these levels, that'd be a great add on the regular.

      You’re the poster child—as a fan, as a school—that is wrong with the current college football world. Congrats, trust fund kid. Your world seems so easy and fun to those of us who have worked our entire lives and support an Alma Mater that has no ability to compete in the current landscape. Yall can simply buy away our players and coaches. Thats garbage. Enjoy your team and your season. Seriously, never thought CFB would create a system ever again that your type of program could ascend in. You did it.
