Got it. Thanks!

[UNT90]

Rice gonna win.

Barely

[FirefightnRick]

The players voicing their opinions on twitter. They don't care about hosting the CUSA championship game, they'd rather wrap up the division.

Well, it is Thursday night in a college town... That might explain that logic?

I'm just looking at the bigger picture. I expect us to win the last 2

This. We need to win out whether we clinch this weekend or not.

[Harry]

Rice wins Rice wins!

[meaniegreenie]

Way to go hootowls!!!

[unt37]

Well we will win last two games anyway.

[MeanMag]

Well it's moot now. Rice wins

[bstnsportsfan3]

Rice wins....dont know if i am suppose to be happy or sad.

[FirefightnRick]

Still, feel for those kids at UAB. Bless their hearts. Played their best game all year in front of no one.

Tough loss.

Rick

[UNT90]

Good teaching moment for Mac. No way UAB should been within 3 TDs of Rice.

[Harry]

The more I think about it, I like Rice -- they are in our division and it makes our big win against them look better.

[UNT 90 Grad]

And just like that, we are a half game behind Rice for first place, right?

[NT03]

Plus, this kills any chance that UTSA would have of winning the division.

[FirefightnRick]

And for you rubes who are always clamoring for us to go to the Mountain West conference, check out that pathetic, fridged, empty scene between UNLV and Air Force on ESPNU that no one here in Texas will see other than in a tiny bi-line on the back page of the paper on Saturday morning.

NO THANKS!!!!!

Looking in the immediate future it could between the two of us as far as who is the top dog in the division again next year.

Agreed

Not sure why anyone was rooting for Rice. We don't want to be co-division champions or give them any shot of pulling ahead should we stumble. And our only shot at hosting is for ECU to lose to Marshall.

I think we need Rice to be strong. And frankly I don't want any easing up prior to Tulsa. I want the good teams we beat to stay good.

Amen brother.

Same, we gotta take care of our shit no matter what happens. But if the teams we beat look better now, it helps us.

We did get a little love from the USAF/UNLV announcers. They were talking about the teams with the longest bowl droughts. They were pointing out Tulane and UNLV ending their droughts, then said, "And don't forget the Mean Green of North Texas.." No cheap shots, no "State", No Eagles. They got our school name, and mascot right, and didn't say anything negative, on ESPN.

Time to go call 911, think I'm about to have a heart attack.

Marshall would have passed us in the BCS standings if Rice had lost and they beat ECU, so the lone chance to host the title game was with a Rice victory. Want them to lose? Hope they lose to Tulane, A loss to over 100 BCS rated UAB would hurt our BCS standing.

Plus, Ohio continuing to crap themselves is doing us no favors.

Let's not allow this little gem to go unnoticed. Just warms my heart.
