...got better today as Big 12 lightweights TCU and West Virgina lose.

TCU is done for the year. West Virgina is, now 4-7, done as well.

Big 12, pitifully, will not fill all of its bowl slots...allowing for teams like UTSA to hold out hope of getting to a bowl game if they keep winning...which means, they will come out scrapping hard Saturday.

When the season began, who'd have thought the key to the C-USA West title would be beating UTSA? I didn't think they'd be a pushover. But, I also didn't think they'd be angling for a winning season with a possible bowl on the line this late in the season either.

It'll make for a good, hard-hitting game next weekend!

No joke...who would have thought they'd be pushing for a bowl??? Definitely not me.

It's a very salient issue. If these 3-5 win teams keep beating each other out of bowl eligibility, we could field more than 6 CUSA teams in bowls. UNT gets money from EVERY bowl played, won or not, by other CUSA teams. We need to win the last 2 but I'd love the outside chance that 2 or 3 extra teams get into bowls. If UNT is one of, say, 8 CUSA teams in bowls and even half of them win, we could be looking at close to a million bucks, if I'm not mistaken on the way the revenue is shared.

I don't believe that this will happen. UTSA is in their transitional year and is ineligible for a bowl unless there are no other bowl eligible teams and UTSA has won six games. At this point it appears that 74 teams could likely qualify for the 70 bowl spots.

But, put me in the camp that is surprised at how well the Roadrunners have done this year. Even if they end their season at 5-7 that is a tremendous accomplishment for a team just completing its FBS requirements. Congratulations!

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
