Losing to fun N gun UH and losing to a dormant FCS NWSt is not even comparing apples to oranges
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Yes it is. We were in total control of both games until the melt down happened late.
He's talking about 73-3 beating - 1990
Oh.. yeah... that was a butt-kicking. No comparison since then (that I remember).
1 comparison I remember was LSU the first time we played them: 49-3 at the half. They could have scored 100 if they wanted to.
The first time we played them it was even worse than that.
But they might have played their starters all game. Les beat us 58-10, but he was trying to run it up. Saban called off the dogs at half time. They really could have beaten us 100 (or more) to 10 (or less) if they wanted to.
That was the game dad became a Freddie King fan (sarcasm)
On the next play, McCown connected with wide receiver Freddie King for 67 yards to the LSU 1-yard line.After King was chased down (because he was showboating) by LSU cornerback Corey Webster, he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. The 15-yard penalty pushed Tech to the 16-yard line and caused the Bulldogs seven points.
How is the CUSA western division decided? Best record versus teams in the west or best overall CUSA record?
I tried looking on the CUSA website but couldn't find a clear answer.

1. Overall CUSA record.
2. Head-to-head.
3. Winning percentage in division.
Gracias
Anybody with insights on why they chose to use overall CUSA record vs. divisional record? Sucks for teams that play tougher eastern division teams (ie Rice vs Marshall). I would think using the division record lets you see how teams stack up against the same competition.
I'm pretty sure that's the standard for 2 division conferences in football. It's one (of several) reasons I'm not crazy about having so many teams per "conference."
And it's why you used to hear SEC fans complain about their system with the permanent rivalries (at least the ones with good programs for rivals, didn't ever hear much complaining about whoever gets Vandy or Kentucky every year).
CUSA is actually even less fair than normal this season because our divisions are unbalanced, so some teams from the East aren't even playing all their division-mates.
Ostensibly, all the teams in a given conference are at roughly the same level of competitiveness. That's why they elected to associate with one another.
But you don't know who the tougher teams in a given season until the season begins. The previous year's results might help one make an educated guess, but the schedules are made years in advance.
