I just don't see UCF being favored @ ECU Dowdy. ECU lost @ Temple and @ Cincy. There is no shame in that. 10 wins is achievable and would be a hell of a season. If things play out and we win our bowl games this conference could have 2-3 10 win teams, 1-2 9 win teams and a solid 8 win team at the top.

Not to shabby, and what crazy is most of us should be better next season. 1-12 we will have the toughest G-5 conference.

We will play better if we are underdogs at home. We stink as favorites.

Sure 10 wins would be nice, but I don't know what kind of shape they are going to be in mentally at this point. The crowd for the Tulane game Saturday is going to flat out suck, and these guys have seen all their goals go out the window in the last 2 games. I'll just be happy to find a way to beat Tulane. Dowdy won't be that rowdy the rest of the year.

3:30 KO and last Sat home game should bring out the faithful. Those that have a long drive will make the trip for this one. Last real tailgating opportunity of the season. Of course the weather will play a factor.

whats it going to mean when we lose to tulane?

Maybe Hardy about the break the NCAA receptions record will get some more to show up, because he deserves to have a great ovation when he gets it, but otherwise this team really is just playing out the string. I hope we work in a lot of the younger guys, and maybe even get Benkert some reps early in the game.

good point...Hardy will break the record on Sat.

36,000 for tulane. No clue how many actually show up, or are even there at the start of the second half. If i wasnt 90 minutes away, itd be hard to see myself driving several hours for this one. Driving several hours at the possibility of us losing to Tulane again at that.

Pretty much the same thing it means now...but....We won't lose to Tulane.

3 hour drive for me...rain or shine...poor team or good one. That's how I roll.

Someone is a bright ball of sunshine today. Anyway it would just help the Conference more if we lose to Tulane, because that would shoot Tulane up in the computer ranking. Although a MTSU fan on the CUSA board said we had already locked the first spot up about a week ago.

Now that every game is on TV...It makes me more motivated to go to the games in person. I am a nervous wreck watching games on TV. I much prefer the games live. For some reason..I don't get nearly as bent out of shape in the stands as I do in my living room. I damn near tore the house down last Sat during the Cincy game.

Heck I literally popped a muscle relaxer towards the end of that game I was so bent out of shape.

Making the 5 1/2hr drive to Ficklen for just my 3rd home game of the year but I want to be there for the History of Hardy breaking the record and to soak in that game and UCF since it is the last two home games of the Carden/Hardy duo.

We had 49.4k for Tulane in 2011--worst season since JT. I think we'll be alright.

Some of us treat every game as homecoming.
