Their win in Ruston can't be discounted and blanking Rice 42-0 raises my eyebrow. This will be a tough game for us. Can we win? Yes, but we have to eliminate the mistakes. It'll be a good challenge for us. This week would have been a good time for the IPF.

I think this will be a great game.  That said, are UAB's stats really that impressive?  In looking at how they have played so far, the combined records of those teams are 14 - 25.  I realize the same can be said about some of our opponents but this game will probably come down to who wants it more.  In that case, it should be a win for the Mean Green.

Not really.  They are ranked 5th nationally in scoring defense and is only giving up 14.2 yards a game.  But in ranking the offenses they’ve faced,....if you rank lowly Savanah St who is 1-5 a ranking of 129th...UAB’s defense has only faced a 95th average offense.  

Do the same for NT, who’s scoring defense is not far off of UAB’s at 19th,...and you’ll see that the Mean Green defense has faced a 66th average offense with a much tougher schedule.

BTW..Savanah St has the second worst offense in all of FCS at averaging just over 11 points per game.

Incarnate Word has the 32nd best offense in all of FCS.

Liberty’s offense would rank at around 59th in FBS.

I thought Liberty was provisionally FBS now, so their stats count?    Or do you not get ranked in these kinds of stats if you're only "provisional"?

I thought that Liberty is full fledged FBS now? Regardless, this is going to be a tough game on the road. The article sounds like we're playing Alabama instead of UAB. Hope the rain stays away for this one.

They are and list under FBS Independant.  But for whatever reason the NCAA.com site doesn’t currently list their stats.  So I looked at their scoring average, which is 31 points per game, and that would currently be at around 59th alongside Mississippi St.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas

      He chose Nicholls State. lol. I’m going to keep trusting in Ross until I have a reason not to.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.
