Sounds like he's getting a little nervous that we're legit

Ha...you're on to something there. When the opposition starts complaining it must mean we're doing something right...we're making them sweat a bit it seems.

Haha thank you! You guys have a great board and fan base. To your point though, Apps 2019 schedule >>> Marshall's 2014 schedule by a mile. So while there are some similarities it's definitely not apples to apples. I don't like to necessarily inflate a P5 team just because they're P5. But no matter ...

So not exactly the AAC over SBC situation but in 2014 it was similar. 2 loss Boise, who gets about the same respect as the AAC, got the spot at #20 while 12-1 Marshall was left out. Marshall didn't get ranked until they hit 11-0 and then fell out since they lost the first game as a ranked team. The...

Well deserved! Congrats Akeem! You make us all in the App family proud.. No doubt. And I love seeing DJ announce him to him. DJ loves App and you can tell it. The Shrine should do the smart thing and invite Josh Thomas. Would be great to see one of ours in both the top games. My favorite memory of ...

I know we'd like Temple, USF, and Utah St. to beat Cincy, Memphis, and Boise, but do we want SMU or Navy to win this week? Really need Cincy and Memphis to lose, but both Navy and SMU would be good stories for the Cotton Bowl. I'm starting to think a 2-loss AAC champion still gets in over a 12-1 Ap...

I think Boise could be beaten by Utah St this weekend as well as Cincinnati by Temple. That leaves us just behind Memphis if we have a convincing win, at least beating the 29 pt spread. Assuming the SMU-Navy winner doesn’t jump us. The good news against the AAC is that 2 of those 3 teams in the top...

The bowl affiliations are all pre-negotiated contracts with each of the conferences and unless something really unusual happens it's not going to change just because we're having a special year. It's conceivable that ESPN could arrange something like that but it's extremely unlikely. So, we are boun...

It would be great IF something were to work out and we could play an ACC or SEC team, but it seems that some of our fans are setting themselves up for disappointment with the attitudes towards our aligned bowls. I'm not sure why the NO Bowl would only be considered so bad (only half a dozen or so "...

Not surprised SMU is now in at 25. The AAC Commissioner did a great deal of whining last week, even trying to throw us under the bus for our home loss vs Stink, as opposed to SMU's loss on the road vs OSU. However, I don't think he was dissing us as much as he was advocating for SMU. I just hate we...

If we don't get the NY6 invite then I'd love to play Marshall in New Orleans. LaTech would only be interesting to me because I'm guessing they'd bring a lot of people which MTSU really didn't, so it'd be a fun atmosphere. My wife loved the game at the Super Dome last year, she thought it was really ...

I think it's been said that we're pretty much locked into the automatic bid bowls if we win aren't selected for the Cotton, so New Orleans would be the only real destination for us if we're 12-1 with another Sun Belt championship in the books. IF we could get out of that auto bid, the Belk Bowl wou...

All I can say, based on what I've seen this season, I think we beat Cincy, Boise, and SMU fairly easily and Memphis would be a toss-up but winnable for sure. You mean struggling early vs GA State and Southern and having a dreadful offensive performance at South Carolina? We're good and we've been b...

The weather has not been kind to us for home games this season. Another rainy Saturday.

I believe this makes 4 out of the 6...so far...last year we had the Southern Miss game cancelled because of the hurricane...really sucks.

I feel like Cincy, Boise, and SMU are overrated and vulnerable for sure...not sure about Memphis...they seem more likely to win out...BUT I love being in the conversation. Amazing really..

Looks like another rain game Saturday...that'd make like 4 games with bad weather at home, right? Only ETSU and UNCC were good weather games?
Hopefully the forecast will improve...

It'd be nice to get a big 1st half lead this Saturday and rest the starters in the 2nd half to gear up for the final championship run...at Troy...and then at Boone.
