FIU 3-0

[BIG DAWG]

I hate FIU but them beating UCF to go to 3-0 is good for our conference. They could have a big year

When was the last Sun Belt team to go undefeated?

[Mean Green 93-98]

When was the last Sun Belt team to go undefeated?

I'm quite sure that's never happened.

[Mean Green 93-98]

FIU 17-10 over UCF = Good for Belt

Western Kentucky losing 44-16 to Indiana State = Very bad for Belt

[shaft]

Is it too early to ask is FIU can go to a BCS bowl?

[NT91]

Top 25?

[UNTcrazy727]

FIU probably won't get into the Top 25 until they're 6-0.

[Rudy]

But they haven't played anyone

This really shocked me. A terrible loss at home to an FCS team. Thought they would be much better than that this year.

[NT03]

WEEK 5 : Most important week eva for the BELT

3 winnable games vs C USA -

UNT vs Tulsa

Troy vs UAB

MTSU vs MEMPHIS

FIU can move to 5 - 0 with a win over DUKE & possibly moving into the top 25

Funny how all of this links together. I believe UCF beat BC, then Duke beat BC (by pure luck in many ways). If FIU spanks Duke they look even better.

Go FIU! Go Mean Green!!!!!

Tulsa's QB GJ Kinne hurt his knee last night (or should I say this morning) against Ok. State. Maybe he won't be ready for our game against them? Not sure how serious it is.

It's his MCL. Getting a MRI today

[UNT90]

Even with a MCL sprain, I couldn't image Kinne being ready to play in 2 weeks. Hate to see that for Kinne and Tulsa, but it is a break for UNT.

[untbowler]

FIU looks for real, they should be able to spank Duke after already beating Louisville and UCF.

Good luck to the Panthers, even I wish we were in their position

Grade 2 MCL tear. Expected to miss 2 to 4 weeks. I really , really , really doubt we see him. I'Im sure his target date to return will be a conference game the following week vs UAB

I hope we can knock off IU then have a good crowd for the Tulsa game. To go 2 - 2 in OOC would be a great accomplishment

[UNTLifer]

I like FIU's OOC scheduling much better than our's historically. I'll take Louisville, Duke, Central Fla., etc... over Bama, LSU, UT, etc... I do like our scheduling against Indiana, Tulsa and Houston, but wouldn't mind seeing us dump the games against Top Five opponents. I know it is tough to project where teams will be ranked when the contracts are signed, but we know some of these will always be up there.

[stebo]

FIU got 11 votes in the coaches poll and 4 in the AP. A win next week would get them close to top 25 material. A win against Duke in week 5 (at home) will get them in the top 25. Just goes to show you that the conference isn't holding any of our teams back...our brutal OOC schedules are. I am going to be cheering for FIU all year. This might sound crazy but they could be a BCS buster with a little luck and a Boise loss.

[gangrene]

Speaking of injuries, T.Y. Hilton suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of FIU's win over UCF. The score was tied 7-7 at the time and, I think the fact they were able to still win the game with their best player on the sidelines, speaks volumes about how good they are this year.

Too bad we didn't get to face them sans Hilton.

[GrandGreen]

I think it would be definitely good for the Belt to have FIU go undefeated and they have a good chance of doing that. However, I don't think FIU will go through the confence undefeated. Has anyone other than NT ever been undefeated in conference?

[UNTP1]

If Hilton stays 90% healthy or better then FIU will go undefeated in conference at least.

[SHOSS]

hamstrings are a tough thing for speed guys...and, he might be a little bit fast. just maybe.

I say rest him for U-lala and duke. I'm pretty sure FIU can handle both of them. Bring him back for the Akron, Arkie State, and Troy run.

They do look good, and if they can beat UCF without TY, surely they can get past duke and U-lala.
