...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!

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?
