  1. I'm not a good February watcher. I don't really follow recruiting, I just see the signees and rankings after signing day every year. I saw the following tweet by ESPN's Big 12 journalist, and I figured someone on here could shed some light

    Jake Trotter

    Shock Linwood's offer list out of high school: Ark St., N. Texas, UTSA, TCU // Devin Chafin's: Colo. St., N. Texas interest only

    These were the two Baylor RB's that ran for 100+ each last night. 1) is this saying that both of these two walked on at Baylor originally instead of taking a scholly offer? 2) Does anyone remember their recruitment and if either was close to signing with us?

  2. The flier UNT was passing out about bowl games says HOD is a CUSA/Big 12 tie-in vs. the Big Ten. The Heart of Dallas Bowl website also hypes their relationship with the Big 12, but it also says this year's game is CUSA vs. Big Ten. The B12 also has 7 bowl tie-ins, not 8, so if for some reason TCU becomes the 8th team there will be bowl chaos that could effect us.

    Bowls are about ticket sales first, politics second, and match-up third.

    you are correct. I mis-read their website earlier.

    In addition to winning and fans showing up vs UTSA, I think it would definitely help us if we took a large contingent to Tulsa on the 30th. That way we prove that we can actually travel well

  3. Luckily for us, C-USA has 6 bowl tie-ins and only 6 of the 7 "eligible" teams can be selected (UTSA can only be picked if bowls remain available). Also, our "neighbor" the Big 12 (both conferences are headquartered in Irving - although that has nothing to do with this conversation) will only have 7 teams, but 8 tie-ins (and that's if two teams don't go to the BCS). All in all, the chaos will not be coming to Denton

  4. Round the bend crazy, here.

    Home:

    Idaho - win

    Ball St. - loss

    MTSU - loss

    Rice - loss

    UTEP - loss

    UTSA - win (it freaking better be a win. A loss in this game could be a fireable offense)

    Away:

    Ohio - loss

    Georgia - loss

    La. Tech - loss

    So. Miss. - loss

    Tulane - win

    Tulsa - loss

    A much more realistic view. If things go perfect, we could also win So. Miss, La. Tech, and UTEP. But if things had gone perfect last year, I counted 8 wins. We got 4. Based on that half theory, I have 3 wins. Things rarely go perfect for any team in a football playing season.

    I think people on here really underestimate the increased competition level of CUSA.

    I love you UNT90

  5. SIAP, but I didn't see it:

    Tiebreaker
    The following tiebreaker formula is recommended for the Conference USA Football Championship game:
    Two-team tie to determine host
    1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play.
    2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.
    3. If still tied, team with highest BCS ranking - as already thoroughly discussed in this thread
    Even if we both win this weekend, I foresee a dip for both of us. UTEP will, unfortunately, make us drop (even if we win by 35). And #52 Buffalo will climb, based on their 27 pt win over #55 Ohio, among others. Just hang tight, it's gonna be a crazy season-ending watching those BCS standings

  6. Completely unacceptable.

    Don't try to sell a F'n road game against SMU as a quasi home game.

    Do your damn job and schedule better.

    Maybe RV will take the recently opened job at Arizona State, or a resulting one in the upcoming chain reaction, and the new AD says "sorry, Iowa, but that ain't happenin'"
