...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!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
