Re: Poll Watching 10.6.24 (FPI says we should be ranked)

Wish we could get some of that respect from our ksu/oh games Kansas State isn't Oregon Not nearly as many of the ESPN types watched the Kansas State game as the Oregon game Our score against Oklahoma looks like it wasn't close We had two chances and blew both. I'm not saying any of this is fair, bu...

Re: Weekly college football humor shorts

Funny Maine did a good job handling the loss, but the reason I mention it is because he shows an image of each Bama coach’s worst loss including Bear Bryant’s which was in 1958 to Tulane.

Re: Poll Watching 10.6.24 (FPI says we should be ranked)

I'm not going to work out enough mental gymnastics on how or IF that could even occur, but it seems like the AAC has set themselves up for a potential big mess that could occur (even if extremely unlikely) simply by adding Army last year and allowing the Army-Navy game to stay in its normal postsea...

Coaches poll is out, we got 2 votes, good enough for #41 if you count that way Kansas State is 19, Oklahoma 16 Boise is 22 Army is a fictional #28, Navy 29, UNLV 33, Liberty 37. We doubled our votes!

Re: Carousel 2024-25

With Trent Dilfer basically signing his own pink slip, is there a chance they bring Vincent back and would he even want to go there? That’s probably a moot point because he’s going to get better offers which brings me to my next moot question. If Sumrall leaves after next season, would Vincent be in...

That’s a four way tie for AAC CG. Scenario above is possible not remote. Tie will be broken by BCS computer services that de...

Re: Pleasant and NCAA kickoff stats

Just checked NCAA stats through yesterday’s games and Pleasant isn’t ranked. SCJ is 14th Presumably Pleasant doesn’t have enough returns to qualify or he would easily be ranked first. Another reminder to give the ball to Pleasant more…. We will get him the ball as long as teams keep kicking to him....

Re: TU 71 - UAB 20. Wave have won 17 of 18 last AAC reg season games.

Pleasant is starting to affect games on an Elpheage level. It's pretty amazing. This past week Sumrall mentioned we'd worked on multiple plays with both QBs in, and hadn't shown them yet. The "flip" play we rolled out was indeed cool, up until TT overthrew a wide open receiver for what wo...

While these threads are more about the actual polls, I wanted to include the FPI ranking. ESPN FPI has us at #23. The 4 teams we’ve lost to over the past two years are all in the FPI top 25 this week. (Ole Miss-5, OU-17, SMU-18, KSU-21) Amazing what two conference games won by 116-30 will do to you...

Miami at Cal is going to be a good precedent of how tough this four time zone conference play can be when it's a night game on the west coast. With them being outnumbered (and the games being simply midday to them), I haven't seen much talk about the west coast teams struggling to come east, but I ...

Losses to JMU, UNC, and Indiana. At least two of those look semi-reapectable so far this year (UNC not). But they're probably not that good, just had a day.
And, the Pirates haven’t been great, but they haven’t been completely terrible either.

I wish we scored one more td when diltard was calling time outs at the end of the 4th. What a clown. Their fans want us to help that clown get fired Sumrall said he didn’t intend to score those last couple drives. He was more concerned with seeing the young guys play in real game action.

They are a detriment to the league.
I described their last drive when I posted the final scores. That’s a way we would have lost (not too many) years ago.

On the NCAA25 game they are constantly in the top 15. I’ve seen people say it’s a glitch but it hasn’t been fixed yet.

Wonder how hot Houston’s seat is in Greenville.

Temple beat the spread! They had the ball at the UConn 1yd line down 22-20. The QB shove resulted in a fumble returned for a TD as time expired.
