Around Conference USA, Volume II

[Yuckity Yuck Yuck]

-ODU gets beat at home by a bad AAC team.
-Marshall gets hammered at home by an AAC team.
-MTSU forgot to get off the bus in Iowa, losing by 45.
-One of the few teams that looked respectable in the conference, UAB, loses to a very bad WKU team.
-North Texas, at home, is losing by 20 to Houston's backup QB.
-One of the few other teams that looked decent to this point, LA Tech, is in overtime against an awful Rice team.

But, you just don't understand the potential of this league.

 

[Bankerreturns]

Rice has actually shown the most improvement of any cusa team this year. They aren't getting wins, but they are playing very well on defense.

The whole conference is dog crap and we are,certainly part of that steaming pile.

I am not picking to win against MT. They have a good QB but he doesn’t get much help.

 

[If Nobody is in the Crowd]

These are pictures from Charlotte's game yesterday. Considering the differences in facilities, fan support, history, recruiting advantages (non-qualifiers), and budget, there is no way Marshall should ever allow this team to be within 28 points of them at the end of a game.

This was the crowd in the second quarter:

And these were taken with 6 minutes remaining in the 4th. Note that the picture is of the home team's side and is still that empty:

Well don’t fret. The Joan is going to look pretty empty for our remaining home games!

Because CUSA has zero good teams, you can make a strong case that its us and the MAC for worst conference in America... The Sun Belt has a good App State team, a Georgia State team that got national attention by beating Tennessee and a good looking Arkansas State team.

Never thought I would ever be envious of the freaking Sun Belt.

Marshall seemingly has an administration that is content with the status quo. We need to quit pretending we “play for championships.” We no longer do.

 

[mubaseballking]

Not to defend MTSU, but they lost by 45 to the #14 ranked team, on the road.

Marshall lost by 38 to an unranked team. At home.

Rice has actually shown the most improvement of any cusa team this year. They aren't getting wins, but they are playing very well on defense.

The whole conference is dog crap and we are,certainly part of that steaming pile.

no doubt that Rice, even though winless, is the most improved team in the league. They just can't seem to catch a break. They have had although schedule and played the teams well.
