And yet here we are, a 2.5 underdog. Vegas makes no sense, sometimes. Win by 10+ and we've got a good resume builder. Win by less, and it won't mean much. Lose and we're in trouble for an at-large.

Buggs was my biggest gripe about yesterday too. Due respect to the kid, but as @meanJewGreen put it yesterday, he's playing with that UTSA mentality, which is hot garbage. I trust Hodge will sit him in the film room for a good while watching his plays. Then it's up to him to fix his game.

Very interesting, thanks for putting this together! If you happen to look for more to do with this, I'd suggest another graph showing attendance versus each opponent. Since we brought 5 other schools from CUSA there might be some good crossover and over time it will show who the fans come to see. My guess is Wichita St. and anyone who is ranked. Notating a year when an opponent is ranked would also be fascinating.

Worth noting that Memphis (32) and FAU (37) are the only AAC teams ahead of North Texas with UAB (90), SMU (92) and Tulane (95) close behind. Much heavier competition in this league, for certain.

I'm going to lose my absolute shit on this post in about 5 seconds

This is the dumbest and most petty BS I've ever seen posted on this board.

This tournament deserves to be on network television. ABC needs to pick up some or most of these games. Look at the teams!

Cal @ UNT L UNT @ FIU W UNT @ LaTech W ABIL @ UNT W UNT @ Navy L Temple @ UNT W UNT @ Tulane L MEMP @ UNT L UTSA @ UNT L UNT @ SMU L UNT @ Tulsa W UAB @ UNT W BOWL GAME: ??? W

@Brett Vito and anyone else for that matter: Did I/we miss the GYROTR contest? Is it only in the subscriber articles that I can't see on the website? In any case if we'd like this to be an unofficial thread for the GYROTR, have at it, y'all. I'll kick it off by submitting my prediction of 7-6 with a TOUGH stretch between October 14-November 18. Here's the breakdown: Cal @ UNT L UNT @ FIU W UNT @ LaTech W ABIL @ UNT W UNT @ Navy L Temple @ UNT W UNT @ Tulane L MEMP @ UNT L UTSA @ UNT L UNT @ SMU L UNT @ Tulsa W UAB @ UNT W BOWL GAME: ??? W

It is, but until we put together some great winning seasons, I'll take the acknowledgements as they come

2021 No. 24 UTSA @ UNT I get all the reasons it wasn't an important game, but we still took care of business against an AP ranked team at home.

I honestly thought the takes were going to be much more in favor of Cal simply because P5 v. G5, as it almost always happens. Pleasantly surprised.

Same, except I think Akron beats Temple and USF beats WKU. WKU lost Zappe, and I get that they tend to reload quickly, but idk.

This man livin in the future

Even if Wazzu and Oregon St. rebuild, the Pac-whatever will certainly lose its power status anyway. doesn't matter if they add the best programs from MWC and AAC.

Ft. Worth ain't coming calling up north either

They were 12 years old. Things have improved since then. You'll see the difference when the new ones are up.

It's really a combination of the NIL and players' ability to transfer so freely. How many stops has Grant Gunnell been at? His weren't for money, but what you have is year after year after year players who make a little name for themselves and go chase the money. I don't fault the players whatsoever, but the schools and coaches of the departing school who invested so much time and resources into recruiting that kid get the absolute shaft, sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars when you add up travel costs and time not spent with other recruits. I'm also totally fine with players being paid, but we need a national cap. No player can make over, say $100k in an NIL deal. Otherwise, it's open season and Trent Dilfer will be naming many names.

This guy?

Not only would I allow them in our HOF, I'd WANT them to coach here. Having ties to the school is huge in my book.

Must be something special if we broke out the video rather than the emoji...

Because I'd bet you a nice shiny dollar Gunnell would air that out about a coach that he has no real loyalty to. And that Morris isn't that type of coach. They may wish it so, but coaches don't go "asking guys to clear up scholarship space." They take them off scholarship.

Totally agree. But we need to, for the love of everything Holy, prohibit these parents from naming children anymore. Rydlii has a younger sister on the team named "Rykyr."
