  1. The departure of Memphis to the AAC left many wondering what the future would hold for Conference USA men's basketball. Less than a month into the 2013-14 season, it's been so far, so good for C-USA. * CHARLOTTE (5-1) has been the most impressive team in the early going with wins over No. 14 Michigan and Kansas State to win the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament over the weekend. The 49ers are coming off 21-12 season and an NIT bid. In his fourth season on the job, Charlotte coach Alan Major has the program resembling the team that competed at the top of Conference USA when it was a member from 1995-2005. * UAB has also been somewhat of a surprise, beating Nebraska and Rutgers on its way to a 4-2 start. Jerod Haase is in his second year as UAB head coach, and the Blazers should be in the mix once league competition starts. * SOUTHERN MISS (6-0) is the lone remaining undefeated team in Conference USA with a 6-0 mark that includes respectable road wins over DePaul, North Dakota State and South Alabama.

  2. Orr, Chancellor, Y'Barbo, Bellazin, Trice, Lee... That's just a start... Who else is deserving?
  3. Anybody watching this one? UAB up 21-17 w/6 minutes in 3rd.
  4. During his visit to Huntington for the UAB game, Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky discussed, among other things, his decision not to pursue additional C-USA bowl affiliations with two more football programs joining C-USA in 2015. “What I don’t want to do is get into a position where we have more bowls than we do teams and I have to pick up the phone and call a bowl and say, ‘I’m sorry I can’t bring you a team.’” From the looks of C-USA football this season, Banowsky was right to play the bowl scene close to the vest. The conference lacks depth, and the outlook at the bottom does not promise many bowl appearances in the near future. C-USA will not have any problems filling its current bowl obligations, with five teams having secured the sixth win needed for bowl eligibility. With East Carolina at 8-2, Marshall, North Texas and Rice at 7-3 and Middle Tennessee and Tulane at 6-4, C-USA will have a strong presence this postseason. These six teams are a combined 29-8 in C-USA play and account for 41 of the 61 total wins for C-USA teams this season.

  5. "I stumbled onto the UNT forum and damn do they have a hard-on for UTSA or what? I can't believe how much hatred they have for UTSA already and we've never even played. I get the feeling they're scared at the rate at which UTSA has risen to competitiveness and, much like the Teachers College in San Marcos, see UTSA crushing them very soon in Texas recruiting and therefore, on the field. In 3 years when UTSA is playing on regional TV every weekend because of market size & a new winning tradition... UNT will simply be another mid-major trying to pick up UTSA's leftovers that no one outside of Denton will give a crap about... Oh wait, they've already achieved that part. No one in SA or South Texas gives a flying fart about UNT. We have our sights set way higher than that and yet the Weaner Green already have a huge chip on their shoulder about UTSA. If their forums are any indication, there are no bigger A-hole fans in Texas than in Denton. Either that or they seriously need to get laid."

  6. Conference USA: As expected, the East Division will be settled on Nov. 29th East Carolina at Marshall. Even if Marshall loses its next game to Florida International, it will enter the finale within one game of the Pirates. Over in the West, North Texas is the league's nicest surprise and has a half-game lead and the tiebreaker against Rice. To lose the division, UNT (5-1) needs to drop one of its last two while Rice (4-1) wins out. While East meets West to decide the conference title, you could make the case the league's two best teams are ECU and Marshall. Teams that have clinched bowl eligibility: ECU, Marshall, Middle Tennessee State, North Texas, Rice and Tulane. And for HODallas bowl: Big Ten: Ohio State stands one win away from clinching the Leaders Division, thanks to October's win against Wisconsin. But the Badgers remain very much in the hunt for an at-large BCS bid should the Buckeyes reach the BCS National Championship Game. In the Legends Division, Michigan State's win against Nebraska essentially hands the Spartans the divisional title. Barring a surprise, it'll be the Buckeyes and Spartans for the Big Ten title. Teams that clinched bowl eligibility: Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Read more: http://www.argusleader.com/usatoday/article/3624253&usatref=sportsmod
  7. 4. Mac Messed With MAC: Dan McCarney, former longtime coach at Iowa State, is writing his own heartwarming story at North Texas, which is 7-3 in McCarney’s third year there. But oh, how ESPN2 would have appreciated it had McCarney’s Mean Green not clipped Ball State in Denton on Sept. 14, 34-27. Had Ball State won that game, the Cardinals would go to Northern Illinois Wednesday with a 10-0 record to face the 9-0 Huskies. As it is, the game is for the upper hand in the MAC West. - See more at: http://thegazette.com/2013/11/11/hlist-week-11-you-can-win-at-football-anywhere/#sthash.sYz0FQ96.dpuf
  8. New television negotiations are on the horizon, with the birth of Fox Sports 1 providing a boost this season. "I am delighted with the way things have turned out," Banowsky said Saturday during his appearance at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. "The group we have is a good group, as we thought it would be. We've got some great programs that are showing up-side potential. We've got schools in Western Kentucky and Middle [Tennessee] that are a nice bridge to Marshall." With the bowl situation realigning just as radically for 2014 and beyond, C-USA officials saw the need to be proactive. Joining the other four leagues outside the "Power 5," three bowls are being launched. "Ultimately, we as a conference had to decide whether we were going to put ourselves in a place, year in and year out, where we would hope there would be openings and then try to find bowls for our surplus teams, or whether we just wanted to go out and create our own destiny," Banowsky said. "About a year ago we started thinking, 'Let's do Boca Raton,' and that makes some sense. In the spring, we started thinking about the Bahamas, which is a fantastic opportunity. "And then we brought the other partner conferences into the conversation and they said, 'Wow, those are good setups you have.' And then Miami [Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Park] came online, the American Conference brought Miami to us." Banowsky doesn't expect to see the league putting its champion in one designated bowl, such has been the case with the Liberty Bowl in 16 of 17 years. This is the league's last go-around with the Liberty, assuming there is not an "out" similar to that exercised in 2011. Banowsky didn't give an ironclad guarantee this fall's champ will end up in Memphis. Read more: http://www.wvgazette.com/Sports/201311090081?page=1
  9. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Last year, Conference USA couldn't fill its bowl dance card, as only five teams were eligible. This year, the league's cup could runneth over. According to conference officials, C-USA is guaranteed six bowl positions: Liberty (Memphis), Beef 'O' Brady's (St. Petersburg), Heart of Dallas Bowl, Military Bowl (Annapolis, Md.), New Orleans and Hawaii. The Liberty would get the top pick, usually the league champ. Four C-USA teams have qualified by virtue of winning six games: East Division leader East Carolina (6-2, 4-1) and West Division co-leaders North Texas, Rice and Tulane (all 6-3, 4-1). Two teams are heavy favorites to join the list today - Marshall (5-3, 3-1) and Middle Tennessee (5-4, 3-2). The Thundering Herd takes on Alabama-Birmingham (2-6, 1-3), while the Blue Raiders play fluffy Florida International (1-7, 1-3). That's six teams, which seemed to be a maximum a few weeks ago. But more teams can hit the magic six wins. Florida Atlantic (3-6, 2-4) is in amazingly good shape after shocking Tulane. The Owls may have the easiest schedule left in America - Southern Mississippi (0-8, 0-4), New Mexico State and FIU. Louisiana Tech (3-5, 2-2) has a chance, but it's not easy. It plays Southern Miss and struggling Tulsa (2-6, 1-3) at home, but Rice and Texas-San Antonio (4-5, 3-2) on the road. As a reclassifying member, UTSA is not eligible for a bowl this year, except for this loophole: If the FBS cannot produce 70 bowl-eligible teams, the reclassifying schools are granted a chance to fill a vacancy.

  10. SAN ANTONIO, Tx - UTSA kicker Sean Ianno connected on a game-winning, 34-yard field with 14-seconds remaining to give the Roadrunners a 10-7 victory over Tulane in front of 24,606 at the Alamodome. Tulane was its own worst enemy today, committing a season-high 14 penalties for 111 yards, and giving up two crucial plays in the second half, including a 68-yard rushing touchdown that tied the game in the third quarter and a 62-yard pass play late in the game that set up the game-winning field goal. UTSA improved to 5-5 overall and 4-2 in league play. “My hat goes off to (UTSA) coach (Larry) Coker and his team,” Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said. “They played a very good football game. They played physical. It got a little chippy at times, but that is something that happens. I thought we did a good job for the most part, but we just couldn’t overcome all of our penalties and mistakes. Those things are self-inflicting. We just had guys who were eager and anxious. You just can’t do that. Tulane senior running back Orleans Darkwa rushed for a game-high 103 yards and one touchdown, but it was not enough. “We have two games to play. We have a two-game season now. We will play two good opponents, one at home and one on the road. We have to prepare. We will work hard this week, and get ready to hold senior day against UTEP.” Despite holding the Roadrunners to just seven points through the first three quarters, the Green Wave had a communication breakdown on defense during UTSA’s final drive, allowing Roadrunner wide receiver Seth Grubb to go virtually unnoticed down the right sideline for a 62-yard completion from quarterback Eric Soza with a just a little over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter.

  11. Banowsky addressed other topics: The TV deals, which expire two years after this season: "We have really good TV platforms. We play mostly on Saturdays, which is what our folks wanted to do. Fox and FS1 (Fox Sports 1) has been a great pump for us this year. We're getting great exposure on FS1. CBS sports continues to grow and they're clearly in all of our markets." On the basketball tournament, which will likely rotate venues: "We're in El Paso this year. I think, philosophically, we like the idea of moving the event around and exposing it to different fan bases around the conference. The SEC has kind of locked up Nashville, which I think would have been a great spot. I think there are other options. We've got schools like Charlotte. We've got options and we'll take our time and figure it out." Will the conference champion be tied into one bowl in the future? "We'll know as seasons develop where matchups make sense. We might be able to matchup our champion in a great setting like Dallas against a Big Ten team. I'm comfortable being flexible until the end and waiting for the best regional matchups."

  12. SAN ANTONIO—In a flash of yellow flags, the Tulane football team saw a reversal of fate on Saturday. The result was stinging: the Green Wave lost control of its Conference USA title fate. Tulane needed to win out its final three games beginning with Saturday’s road game against UTSA in the Alamodome to win the West Division and secure a spot in the league championship game. Instead, the Green Wave lapsed into a two-game slide and couldn't conjure any of the mojo that helped it win close games earlier this season. The 111 Tulane penalty yards, a busted coverage late, and the Roadrunners’ game-clinching field goal with less than a minute to go spoiled all that. Tulane lost 10-7 in front of a raucous crowd of 24,606 that produced an earful of distracting noise. The Green Wave committed eight false-start penalties and the 111 total penalty yards were a season-high for Tulane. “We just couldn’t overcome the number of penalties,” Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said. “Too many penalties, too many mistakes.” There were none more costly than the final two false-start whistles. Tulane looked to be gathering that game-winning momentum when it started a drive with 9:42 to go and the score tied at 7. Quarterback Nick Montana, in his second start since separating his shoulder Oct. 5 against North Texas, was clicking off yards left and right. He found running back Rob Kelley over the middle for a 6-yard gain and then located Ryan Grant on the next play – a third down -- on a 5-yard strike to give Tulane a first down on the Tulane 48. A few plays later, Montana made a brilliant move to elude two tacklers in the pocket, side-stepping one and then backing away from the other just in time to find Kedrick Banks over the middle for a 25-yard gain. Tulane was positioning itself for the go-ahead drive, driving to win yet another tight Conference USA ballgame. Two plays later, the Green Wave was already on the UTSA 32 and with Lou Groza-winning kicker Cairo Santos, who has made two game-winning field goals this season, it was looking good for the Wave.

  13. Two-team or multiple team tie for divisional champion: 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, highest winning percentage within division. 4. If still tied, compare records against divisional opponents in descending order of finish. 5. If still tied, compare records with common cross-divisional opponents. 6. If still tied, compare records against cross-divisional opponents in descending order of finish. 7. If still tied, team with highest BCS ranking. 8. If still tied, the representative will be the team that has not participated in the championship game most recently. 9. If at any point the tie is broken in a multiple team tie, the remaining teams will begin the process again at #2.
  14. I posted an article I came across from the Tulsa post game press conference after their loss to UTSA in another thread and it got me thinking. I think all of us who have been following UNT recruiting for some time would acknowledge that programs like Rice, Tulsa, SMU, Houston, Colorado State, Tulane, etc have had our number on recruits for quite some time. Much of this was due to the losing and lack of facilities but conference affiliation also played a large part. I think specifically, the privates have done a good job against us touting the dollar value of their education and the associated private school tuition, small classes and facilities they offer.. Notice that I don't mention TCU or Oklahoma State. Both are in the Big Twelve and frankly will be difficult for us to beat. Not impossible but more on that later. We just need to start winning battles against the Tulsa's, SMU's, Rice's etc and it will be a major step forward for us. This season has seen a huge shift in terms of North Texas shedding many of the obstacles which have been stacked so heavily against us in the past. We're winning and bowl eligible for the first time in close to a decade. Our attendance is showing signs of growth. An example would be we outdrew a Tulsa homecoming game on a Thursday night of Halloween. We beat a good Rice team. Our facilities are at least as good or better than all of the teams mentioned. We have a larger upside for attendance by virtue of our student population which dwarfs most of the schools I mentioned. Mac's staff has proven that they know how to identify good talent and develop it. Look at a James Jones or a Cyril Lemon or a Kenny Buyers or an Antoine Jimmerson. If we can start winning some of the battles against our peers especially here in the state of Texas it will mean we can hit on even more good players. I will promise you that the Tulsa's and Houston's and SMU's of the world will start trying to play the AAC card as a key differentiation in the minds of recruits and their families. Other than this 2013 season where they do have that final auto BCS bid which will most likely go to Louisville (although Houston has a legitimate shot) there aren't huge differences in the AAC and C-USA. We've seen this season that FAU can beat an AAC program (Tulane) despite a coaching mess. Little ole UTSA showed that they could beat a future AAC program Tulsa at home. The AAC will have the same opportunity to gain access to the new playoff system as do we. So what we have here is a tremendous opportunity to change the perception of recruits and their families. It's extremely important that we don't dilly dally around with Mac's contract or get complacent in terms of assistants, facilities and support staff. If we learned anything from the Dickey bowl era it was that you can't just win and expect everything to stay the same. You have to do what it takes to keep your staff in place, and that goes beyond Mac and includes guys like Ryan Walters who I promise you will be courted by some of the top programs this season. And maybe you just can't keep a Ryan Walters but you at least make it more difficult for a bigger program to land him. Keep investing in pipelines like DeSoto as we know that will payoff. Keep working the media, invite them to every broadcast you have; offer them to do their shows from the stadium and on campus. I have never been so excited about the future of this football program. My only hope is that we are able to be PROACTIVE and capitalize on this great season so we can continue to grow. GMG!
  15. I wanted to get your ideas and feedback regarding a trophy or designation that would be given to the Texas C-USA school that has the most wins among Texas teams in the conference. This would include North Texas, Rice, UTSA, and UTEP. Since all four of these teams would be playing in football every year, it would make it fun to say the one who wins the most games against Texas schools would get some sort of trophy or bragging rights. It could most certainly be applied to other sports but football is king in this state. I'm not sure if this is being done anywhere else with this many teams but similar games that come to mind would be the Bayou Bucket game in Houston that pits Rice against the University of Houston every year for bragging rights in Texas or the SMU/TCU battle for the Iron Skillet game. These are just the first two that come to mind to me; there may be more in other states. We have four great cities in the great state of Texas who are in our conference and I could envision getting the mayors of each respective city and various businesses behind this. Perhaps a Texas media outlet could get involved...or even Dave Campbells... we have some real creative minds on here so let's hear what you got! How much fun could we have with this every year -- I think about a nice trophy sitting in Apogee that shows we were the best in Texas for that particular year. The Texas connection is a big part of what makes this conference special to us (we are tied with the Big 12 at 4 teams in the state now) and we need to emphasize it as much as possible. GMG!

  17. COLLEGE STATION — For first-year UTEP head coach Sean Kugler, there were plenty of things that went wrong for the Miners in their 57-7 blowout loss to No. 12 Texas A&M on Saturday at Kyle Field. But the most disappointment came earlier this week when it became official that UTEP quarterback and former Shoemaker standout Jameill Showers would not lead the Miners (1-7) against the Aggies (7-2). “I’m pretty sure he was disappointed deep down, but he never showed it,” Kugler said. “I’m sure it was pretty emotional for him not to go out there and compete tonight, and to be honest with you, it hurts me knowing that kid didn’t get the opportunity because I felt bad for him.” The loss was UTEP’s third all-time to Texas A&M. The game was an anticipated one for Showers, who played in 11 games for Texas A&M before transferring to UTEP after Johnny Manziel solidified himself as the Aggie starter and became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy in 2012. Showers missed his return to College Station due to an injured right shoulder he sustained in a loss to Rice on Sept. 26.

  18. "I only caught the second half so I missed the first half where apparently Rice played much better. Still, I came away even more impressed with UNT than I already was after we beat them at HC. A very solid Defense, very quick with some good athletes and on Offense a decent RB and a QB that can give you problems. Our win over them was no walkover a mediocre opponent. They're good. Rice will give us trouble but they weren't able to really dent UNT's Defense. And ours is better. My feeling is that we just have to score 21 or more points to beat Rice and put pressure on their Offense to score, we can't just expect to get by on Defense all night long."

  19. HATTIESBURG - Franklin D. Roosevelt was settling into his first term in office as president when the Southern Miss football team last suffered back-to-back losing seasons. On Saturday, the Golden Eagles achieved that mark for the first time since 1933-34. North Texas ran roughshod over Southern Miss on homecoming for a 55-14 victory at Roberts Stadium. With the loss, Southern Miss (0-7, 0-3) had its nation's worst losing streak extend to 19 games. "They out-played us, out-coached us tonight," USM head coach Todd Monken said. "We didn't do the things we had talked about doing early in the game. "We had every opportunity to make plays on offense in critical situations and we didn't. We couldn't get off the field on third down (on defense)." It marked the second straight season that USM has been blown out on homecoming after Marshall thumped the Eagles, 59-24, at Roberts Stadium last year. "They all hurt and all I can do is keep fighting," senior linebacker Dylan Reda said. "All I'm going to do is keep thanking the Lord for having a chance to step on that field and be a part of this community."

  20. Pick a seat, any seat. The catbird's seat. James T. Kirk's command chair on the USS Enterprise. The driver's seat. They all apply to exactly where Marshall's football program is sitting in Conference USA. The Herd is in control of its own destiny. It's that simple. Marshall's 24-23 win over FAU coupled with East Carolina's 36-33 triple overtime loss to Tulane eight days ago means the Herd is the master of its own fate. "We are sitting right where we want to be sitting at this point," said Marshall head coach Doc Holliday. "We control our own destiny." Not just in the East Division, either. If Marshall wins its next six games -- which it should be favored to do -- the Herd would finish 8-0 in league play. Besides giving Marshall the East Division title, it also would allow the Herd to host the C-USA championship game on Dec. 7 in Edwards Stadium. Given the friendly confines of "The Joan," that undoubtedly would make Marshall the favorite to win the C-USA title and represent the league in the Liberty Bowl. Phew, I'm getting dizzy from all those possibilities. I'd better sit down. Scoot over, Shatner. Anyway, that's how the table is set for Marshall. "It feels good," said Alex Bazzie, senior defensive end. "It's like sitting in a brand new car. You get behind that steering wheel and it feels real good, but you can't get too far ahead of yourself or you'll crash.

  21. MTSU’s football team is in the midst of a very difficult four-game grind. All seasons are a grind on any team, but this “second season” of sorts has been, and will continue to be, very difficult for the Blue Raiders. If you take MTSU’s schedule and break it down into three seasons, you’ll find that this is easily the most brutal stretch. Coming out of the first four games, it was expected that MTSU would be 3-1. A loss at North Carolina wasn’t bad, and one have assumed the Blue Raiders would knock off Western Carolina, Memphis and Florida Atlantic. However, the second season of the three is against BYU, East Carolina, North Texas and Marshall. Those teams have a combined record of 12-8 going into this weekend’s action. MTSU, coming off a tough 24-17 loss at home to ECU, visits North Texas on Saturday. The Blue Raiders are close to a touchdown underdog. A road win would be huge, particularly when you start looking at the bigger picture on down the road. We’ll do that shortly.

  22. When we last left Conference USA — or at least talked about how the league might shape up a few weeks ago — there were a few safe assumptions one could make. Rice, which won five of its last six and then beat Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl a year ago, would be pretty darn good after returning nearly all of its key players. Tulsa would be at the top of the league just like it always is. Louisiana Tech lost pretty much everyone, including head coach Sonny Dykes to Cal, but has a recent history of success and didn’t seem to be headed for much of a drop-off. And UNT? The Mean Green was largely overlooked and projected to finish in the middle of the pack. Five weeks and a few stunners later, it’s tough to come to any conclusions about C-USA, especially when it comes to the West Division. That’s good news for the Mean Green, which will dive into league play after a much-needed bye on Saturday at Tulane. UNT handled its buy-a-win game at home against Idaho and showed a lot of guts to come back from an 18-point deficit to beat a pretty good Ball State team. A 2-1 start was UNT’s best since resuming playing on the Football Bowl Subdivision level in 1995. What might have been even more encouraging was UNT’s performance last week at Georgia, when the Mean Green was locked in a 21-all tie with the ninth-ranked team in the country early in the third quarter.

  23. DALLAS — With the newly reconstructed Big Tex looming just outside the entrance of the Cotton Bowl Stadium and with a one-win Army staging inside as the opponent du jour, Louisiana Tech fans had a bit of swagger in Big D about their chances of winning their first game of the season over an FBS club. The Skip Holtz era needed an FBS win and the Bulldogs needed their inaugural win over a service academy. Didn’t happen. The hopes went out the window not long after the opening kick when Army began gashing the once solid Bulldog run defense on its way to a 35-16 win in the inaugural Heart of Dallas Classic. The Black Knights (2-3) rushed for 414 yards, the fifth most yards given up in Tech history. “When (Army) executes like they did tonight and don’t turn the ball over, they are tough to beat,” Holtz said. “I don’t think Army has had a turnover-free game all season. We got our tails kicked tonight on defense and I can’t make excuses for that.”Weather delays, sometimes the savior of teams that begin a game on its heels, did nothing for Holtz’s team, which showed resolve at Kansas last week, only to revert to an almost demonic obsession of making bad teams look good on Saturday.

  24. The game against Army at Fair park Cotton bowl today is delayed due to terrible weather. Next week it will be sunny and 75 for Texas OU. Life isn't fair.
