Rest of this Season

[dawg80]

CUSA sucks! Someone posted on another thread CUSA is the 2nd worst conference...in your dreams, bud! CUSA is THE worst FBS conference and it's no longer even close. The MAC, the true 2nd worst league, has opened some daylight between themselves and us.

So, given that, shouldn't we expect to run the table, 7-0 down the stretch and then finally winning the CCG? Skippy says this is his MOST talented and deepest team in 9 years. So, by his own admission, we (he) have the players to get it done. Are we to settle for NOT winning the weakest conference with so much talent? Therefore, I expect to get to 10-3 and go bowling as a conference champion.

Back to the conference...all the talk from Marshall, ODU, Charlotte, UAB, USM, FAU...about craving jumping to a "better" conference and yet they all suck just as bad as any other program in the conference. Yes, Judy is a sorry POS, just drawing a check, and needs to go, but she does not have direct impact on the quality of the individual programs. Clean up your own house(s) first.

I was THRILLED to see Liberty destroy and embarrass UAB! Usually I root for conference mates in OOC games, but can't stand UAB and anything about them. Marshall is another one...hate the Thunderin' Turd. Lost to lowly Middle Finger State? Hah!

UTSA is "good" which by CUSA standards makes them GREAT! They are 5-0 even after a lackluster win over crappy UNLV, so taking care of business. But, truthfully, in the real world, UTSA is mediocre at best and would be exposed playing in ANY other conference. So, we should beat them. I expect us to. After all, we are stacked with tons of talent, according to Skippy. Just need to actually tackle Sincere...

Next up is UTEP...after a dreaded bye week. Skippy's teams haven't performed very well coming off of byes. Like they forget what football is. UTEP is 4-1 now, I think, and feeling good about themselves. But I expect nothing short of a solid "W." They are uteppers, after all.

10-3 and bowling, here we come!

We're living in fantasy land if we think we're going to run the table at this point. I hope I'm wrong, but I keep remembering who our head coach is.

I am saying our head coach has no excuses. That's what I'm setting the table for. He says this is his most talented team ever, and we all know that CUSA is the weakest FBS conference. We are already 1-0, so just seven more to go. If we don't run the table what excuses are left? We have the players...CHECK. We have a favorable (weak) schedule...CHECK. We have played 5 games against fairly good competition, and haven't stunk it up...CHECK. Nothing left to do but go win the conference....CHECK????

We won like 8 games in a row with Smith at QB in our 10 win season 2 years ago.

I think Skip is capable if he gets out of his own way.

I hope y'all are right. We'll know if a few weeks...

Also as long as Allen stays on the sideline.

Also as long as Allen stays on the sideline.

He will remain #2 and be 1st out. That’s a problem but our HC never changes once he gets his mid set.

[Bulldog Tom]

He will remain #2 and be 1st out. That’s a problem but our HC never changes once he gets his mid set.

In that case, we need to get back in that qb transfer portal for next season. Allen is just another fcs qb, he needs to stay a #2 at best.

We always lose to the teams we are supposed to, beat the teams we are supposed to and then have one WTF game. Well I think we have used up all of our "WTF" and I think we can definitely run the table. I am hoping this turns out to be like the 2011 season again. I think without injuries, it's definitely possible.

Here’s what my crystal ball says. Don’t blame the messenger. This is Holtz’s implosion season... the more he tries to micromanage things each game, the more it all blows up in his face. Good team or not, a bad coach can still orchestrate loses.

10/16 at UTEP - Win (3-3)
10/23 UTSA - Loss (3-4)
10/30 at ODU - Loss (3-5)
11/06 at UAB - Loss (3-6)
11/13 Charlotte - Win (4-6)
11/19 Southern Miss - Win (5-6)
11/27 at Rice - Win (6-6) *Maybe, maybe not

[DallasDog]

He loses at least one against UAB or UTSA. He will fall one game short of the championship game again. Then after the season he will anoint AA as the next rockstar.

Pawdawg will be excited.

You nailed it. Allen needs to transfer to a solid FCS school. He'll get much more playing time and the stakes won't be nearly as high. He can screw up as much as he wants.

No way he loses at ODU. I mean, that's a seriously fireable offense. On the spot. Like.....immediately fireable. I'm talking about not even letting him back on the team plane to come home. And no, I'm not kidding.

We always play down to the level of competition in El Paso -

This is the week they finally get us...
