They are going to lose to CLT and/or FIU (both fighting for bowl eligibility). We are going to win out. We just need FAU to lose to USM and we'll have 12,345, at JAS on December 7th. I will be part of that number.Quote:

If there are any casualties they should be able to play in the UTSA game, but not when we go back to Marshall.:icon_razz:
Marshall and USM lost...what does that mean?
CUSA sucks.Quote:

If UAB beats UNT, they'll be the West champion by virtue of owning the head to head tiebreaker vs LA Tech. As long as LA Tech beats UTSA, it doesn't really matter if USM wins or not, because Tech still owns the tiebreaker vs USM.
If UAB (vs UNT) wins, USM (vs FAU) wins and Tech wins (vs UTSA), it will go down to some 2nd and 3rd level tiebreakers.
Holtz really screwed this season up for everybody.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but in all probability, LA Tech will still win the west, unless UNT is just simply too injured to even dress out a team. UNT is typically pretty tough a Apogee Stadium.
Means nothing to go to the championship game or to even win it now. It won't sell tickets or excite the fan base. That's all that matters.
Fine's last game at Apogee. I could see them beating UAB.Quote:

It will also be ironic to hear all the sanctimonious folk who take their prescriptions for "anxiety" on the regular jeer J'mar and Hardy for smoking dope.
Boxer, Hardy hasn't really been legit all year. IMO, we have not missed him. Jackson was back in today. FWIW, I think I heard them say he graduated this past week.Quote:

I think he was our leading receiver before the suspension. He's really good at gaining leverage on his defender and catching the ball. We were trying to use Stanley in that way today but he's not as good on the sideline--needs to play inside. I actually believe we would have won today with Hardy (even without J'mar)Quote:
