Championship Game

No line out yet, but first game we were 25.5 point favorites, we won by 10 points. Guessing we'll open -15 to -17 points this time maybe higher. I don't think LaLa scores more than 10-14 points on our D. No one else has in the conference except those knuckle draggers and window lickers from Georgia, but we gave them about 10 turnovers.

We actually just opened up at -17.5 favorite and -900 on the money line for Saturday.

No. Only will if they (UAB/MTSU winner) chooses NOLA bowl over all other C-USA tie-ins.

ESPN's predictors do not have a clue that the SB champion nows goes to the NOLA bowl. They have us in the Cure Bowl and LaLa in another bowl.

Ok. They have gone back and fixed it. Now ESPN has the winner of this week's game going to NOLA. The loser of the SB Champ game going to the Cure Bowl.

I hope we play none of the above... we deserve a “bigger name” team and we’re better than those.

Ever since we joined the Sun Belt, IMO, the thing that visiting teams were told to worry about was cold & nasty mountain weather. The Troy game proved that our CROWD is to be feared.

We were LOUD on Saturday from the get-go. That was FUN and we need to keep it up for the SB Championship Game.

That's what Toledo said last year.

ULL QB sounding a little too confident. Need to hit this bunch in the mouth as soon as they get off the bus. We can't look at the game as a coronation- but a war, just the same as Troy.

No doubt, Napier is going to keep his losses at The Rock rolling.

Hope our fans stay as humble as our team & Coaches. Toledo's fans were obnoxious (reminded me of Delaware). Even their more aged fans were cocky and stated "we shouldn't be playing another low level G5, we deserve better. Who is APPALAYCHAN?" My wife said see you back here after the game and tell me what you think. I like the Sun Belt but I also wish we had better bowl opportunities. Let's make New Orleans our "Chattanooga"!!!

Hate the fact that the Sun Belt is trying to make it a "neutral" site game. Just leave it alone and let the home team reap the rewards of earning the home field.

That's not a bad idea, because a camel will pass through the eye of a needle before a G5 is given a chance in the current scheme.

I like our chances on Saturday but it is tough to beat the same team twice in a season...
