Re: FIU
I'm nipping the TV situation in the bud and will be in the stadium... just bought my tailgate ticket.
Would be nice to hang another 60+ on someone.. but I'm not greedy or anything.

FWIW, Rice lost to Army 35-0 today. On the post game show Graf said FIU was picked up by ESPN3 today and could end up being shown on there next week.WaveProf wrote:Kickoff next week at 7

49-12. 6 Rice turnovers. I want to say they were down 35-0 but were winning TOP at the time.waverider wrote:FWIW, Rice lost to Army 35-0 today.WaveProf wrote:Kickoff next week at 7

Re: FIU
That's a misleading 3-2, their wins are over 2 of the worst teams in FBS and a squeaker over an FCS.

Re: FIU
Rice is awful. Doesn't look like FIU has beaten anyone decent, but they have won games, including close games. So they'll give us their best shot.

Re: FIU
That 4-game winning streak ended @Florida Atlantic. We were 6-2 on a roll; they were 2-6 and their HC resigned the week before the game. We were up 17-7 in the 3rdQ, mostly controlling the line of scrimmage and then suffered one of the most comprehensive meltdowns I’ve ever seen. Wound up losing 34-17. That’s when things started to go off the rails for Curtis Johnson and we never did recover.QuarterbackU wrote:What's at stake?

But we then lost a close game at UTSA (10 procedure penalties) and eventual at C-USA champ Rice, both of whom were as good as the teams we had beaten in close games earlier in the year. We also destroyed UTEP.
We just didn't improve from that point. Didn't get much worse either, though. The schedule just got tougher.
Re: FIU
To be precise in the FAU game, Tulane threw four straight interceptions on consecutive passes in the second half. For a period of about 20 minutes, Tulane had the worst passing statistical record possible under NCAA methodology. A record that could only be matched never broken. Think Lord Kelvin absolute zero cold type stuff. To steal the word of the day, it was truly football "apocolyptic."

We all need to move past the days of excusing losses to terrible teams because "they were good that year". Fritz wouldn't accept a loss to any CUSA or Sun Belt team these days and neither should we. We were terrible, horrid, every bad synonym you can think of, for a long time. It's time to put the RD era and the RD "losing can be excused somehow" mindset behind us.

The schedule most certainly did not get tougher.GSx wrote:Didn't get much worse either, though. The schedule just got tougher.
We beat a series of teams that we weren't supposed to beat then lost back to back games to really bad teams. We took care of business against an even worse UTEP team and lost a game we should have won against a solid (not great) Rice team.

Re: FIU
Georgian is right that we spit the bit at FAU; but it's not like we really got much worse during the rest of CJ's run.WaveProf wrote:The schedule most certainly did not get tougher.GSx wrote:Didn't get much worse either, though. The schedule just got tougher.

The schedule in 2013 most certainly did get tougher:
@Rice: 10-4, C-USA champions (we were double digit underdogs)
@UTSA: 7-5, won at N Texas the week after they beat us. (we were 10 point dogs, due to massive over-reaction to FAU loss)
@FAU: 6-6, with 4 wins to end the season; several close losses (OT to runner-up Marshall, e.g.) during the season.
UTEP: Terrible, but we beat the heck out of them
And then there's mighty Tulsa - they were terrible that year - 2-6 in New C-USA. 1 game ahead of UTEP; we struggledto beat Tulsa, but beat the heck out of UTEP.
And then we move into 2014, 2015, and 2016, where the schedule clearly got tougher.
CJ elevated the team to a point; it didn't get any better than mid 2013, but it really didn't get any worse.
The worst games we played in the 2nd half of the year were Tulsa at home, @ FAU (due to turnovers), and Louisiana @ Lafayette in the bowl game (due to I don't know - we just weren't very good that night).

Close circuit through the Internet or through cable? I don’t have cable so hoping it’s internet

I remember consoling a football mom who had gone to hide in the concessions area to cry away from her family and friends.

And then driving like a possessed mad woman from San Antonio after THAT stupid loss. It was the game after FAU that we also should have won but managed to lose..
Despite the loss, FAU has the best stadium. It is still one of my favorites.
Excited to check out FIU.
