Western Kentucky losing 44-16 to Indiana State = Very bad for Belt

This really shocked me. A terrible loss at home to an FCS team. Thought they would be much better than that this year.

WEEK 5 : Most important week eva for the BELT

3 winnable games vs C USA -

UNT vs Tulsa

Troy vs UAB

MTSU vs MEMPHIS

FIU can move to 5 - 0 with a win over DUKE & possibly moving into the top 25

Funny how all of this links together. I believe UCF beat BC, then Duke beat BC (by pure luck in many ways). If FIU spanks Duke they look even better.

Go FIU! Go Mean Green!!!!!

Tulsa's QB GJ Kinne hurt his knee last night (or should I say this morning) against Ok. State. Maybe he won't be ready for our game against them? Not sure how serious it is.

It's his MCL. Getting a MRI today

FIU looks for real, they should be able to spank Duke after already beating Louisville and UCF.

Good luck to the Panthers, even I wish we were in their position

Even with a MCL sprain, I couldn't image Kinne being ready to play in 2 weeks. Hate to see that for Kinne and Tulsa, but it is a break for UNT.

Grade 2 MCL tear. Expected to miss 2 to 4 weeks. I really , really , really doubt we see him. I'Im sure his target date to return will be a conference game the following week vs UAB

I hope we can knock off IU then have a good crowd for the Tulsa game. To go 2 - 2 in OOC would be a great accomplishment

I like FIU's OOC scheduling much better than our's historically. I'll take Louisville, Duke, Central Fla., etc... over Bama, LSU, UT, etc... I do like our scheduling against Indiana, Tulsa and Houston, but wouldn't mind seeing us dump the games against Top Five opponents. I know it is tough to project where teams will be ranked when the contracts are signed, but we know some of these will always be up there.

FIU got 11 votes in the coaches poll and 4 in the AP. A win next week would get them close to top 25 material. A win against Duke in week 5 (at home) will get them in the top 25. Just goes to show you that the conference isn't holding any of our teams back...our brutal OOC schedules are. I am going to be cheering for FIU all year. This might sound crazy but they could be a BCS buster with a little luck and a Boise loss.

Speaking of injuries, T.Y. Hilton suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of FIU's win over UCF. The score was tied 7-7 at the time and, I think the fact they were able to still win the game with their best player on the sidelines, speaks volumes about how good they are this year.

Too bad we didn't get to face them sans Hilton.

I think it would be definitely good for the Belt to have FIU go undefeated and they have a good chance of doing that. However, I don't think FIU will go through the confence undefeated. Has anyone other than NT ever been undefeated in conference?

hamstrings are a tough thing for speed guys...and, he might be a little bit fast. just maybe.

I say rest him for U-lala and duke. I'm pretty sure FIU can handle both of them. Bring him back for the Akron, Arkie State, and Troy run.

They do look good, and if they can beat UCF without TY, surely they can get past duke and U-lala.

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
