Should I start another thread? Thamel is reporting Air Force in serious talks with the AAC. They chatted with the AAC before, and now are at it again. Could be a result of the Pac pulling apart the four defectors. Is this the AAC being proactive out of fear that they are losing teams in the near fu...

Luckily the weather is starting to cool off some. A cold front that Thursday or Friday would be great! Depending on what other games are being played, the 11am slot could get a lot of eyeballs.

Just saw a Tom Fornelli tweet about 3rd down conversions that will add a little context to ULL’s two games. Kennesaw St has gone 3 & out on 57.6% of their possessions.

Then there’s this: (per Southern Charm Sports). I’m guessing FSU is losing credibility in the FPI which brings Memphis down some. Top 25 G5 teams per ESPN’s FPI 9/15/24 1. Boise State 2. Tulane 3. Memphis 4. UNLV 5. Fresno State 6. South Florida 7. Toledo 8. Northern Illinois 9. Marshall 10. Texas S...

UL and USF can certainly beat us and no one nationally would be surprised. These are tricky games coming after two very physical games we lost. We are a 3 pt favorite this week and will probably be the same next week. Our PK is hurt and we need him in these two games. I expect us to win every game,...

There were probably Troy fans saying the same thing after three games each season.

Obviously, most people on this board really have no clue how many athletes UL has. There is a reason the line is 3. If we are as dominant as some people think, the line would be double digits. We have a long way to go and so many question marks. It is unbelievable people are still talking friggen p...

Only three games in, with a lot of frustration during the last two--I'd expect the team to be in the mood to beat the crap out of someone. Absolutely, my money is on this too. I didn't so much mean a rough spot for the team as simply kind of a lose-lose situation in analysis. Win big, means little....

Side note. This is the third straight season Sumrall has started 1-2 IIRC. Remind us again what his records ended up in the prior two? 8) :mrgreen: I was just thinking about the starts to his two Troy seasons. For those interested: The first season they lost to Ole Miss by 18 then two weeks later l...

Seems reasonable. About a TD on a neutral site.

Memphis is #23 in the Coaches poll. If we both keep winning things could work out in our favor.

I don’t know if Norvell is on the hot seat because of his contract but his post game press conference was cut short due to a fire alarm. Speaking of FSU, I saw a funny post that said “FSU paid Memphis $1.3M to beat them and paid Norvell $13M to make Memphis better than FSU”. Bud Elliott, who has to...

The Greenbackers have a bus going and any local parents are probably going, but with only half a stadium, I don’t think it’s going to be the environment you imagine.

Losing these last two games hurt in a different way than the blowout losses of yesteryears because we actually looked like we belong athletically. A lot of football left to play.

Losing to ULL on the other hand could feel like the season is heading the wrong way.

There will still be discussions as those teams win or lose the rest of the way. Any changes on our end to those chances would likely be the last discussion needed.

Maybe we should give some respect and acknowledgement to one of the best and well resourced programs in football and the game being played at their place. It speaks to where this program is that we are so upset about losing to two top 15 teams, one being the big 12 favorite and the other an elite s...

I just posted the scores from around the conference and added a post that says that I know how the other conference fans felt during the Toledo days and that we should accept any invite that improves our situation.

Some pretty bad scores. I know how the fans of other teams felt during the Toledo years. We need to take any invite that improves our situation.

Charlotte was down 20-6 going into the 4th. Arch Manning beat UTSA pretty bad.

I really liked the play with the fake to Ty on the TD pass to Hughes. I’m guessing we will see a lot more of him as the season goes on. It’s reasonably possible he converts to WR at some point in his career and utilizes his athleticism in multiple ways.

We never went 4 wide and always went 6-7 man protection which tells me they are trying to protect the QB.

I think that says something about our OL and the coaches’ thoughts on their ability to protect our inexperienced QB.

Well we decided to go with a RS Freshman at QB and we have seen 2 quarters of good offense vs FBS Schools. This isn't on Mensah, he has played ahead of schedule. However 14/33 today with 1 int, 1 fumble, and 1 td is not what you needed to win this big game. He fumbled last week to lose the lead and...

This is pretty much what vegas predicted. I'm proud we battled back but I never really thought we could pull it off. ULL is a must win next week. We are in real danger of falling to 1-3 in embarrassing fashion if we don't flush these last two weeks and come ready to play. I was thinking ULL would b...

Mensah looked ok considering his first road game was in an environment that is nothing like the first two games in Yulman. He looked like a freshman too many times but he wasn’t the reason we lost. I’m not sold on Craddock as some play calls were questionable and the OL is still bad. There’s no dept...

Starting to get a little push in the run game.
