I don't understand why everyone always feels like they need to pick sides (potato salad) when it comes to barbecue. Barbecue is like Michael Bolton. You celebrate the entire catalog.

Hmm. Michael Bolton would be more like the McRib. It's okay until you realize it's a fake ripoff that's devoid of any real substance when compared to the real thing that it's based on.

The Big Mac?

I wonder if the Neelys of Interstate BBQ can figure out a way to barbecue that skyline chili. Hmm hmm gooood.

The times I've been to Cincy and tried that Skyline "chili", I thought it was more like spaghetti sauce. In fact, one of their favorite ways to serve it is over spaghetti. To address your point, one of the best items on the Interstate BBQ menu is their BBQ spaghetti. I rate it a '10' and the skyline "chili" gets about a '5' in my rating system. I think they have already figured it out.

Who cares about divisions? They go away after this year, perhaps.

Tulane, if you are feeling generous, bring some awesome New Orleans casserole to Tiger Lane. You are always welcome to Memphis barbeque. We typically just have finger foods and we'll always offer you ice cold beer. Barbeque, just do a little Trick R Treating.

30-11 sans UConn

You sir have great taste.

One word for you: Tulane

Temple plays Memphis (next week) SMU and Tulane this season. Yikes!

Right that. Just this lineup was less daunting preseason.

Thanks for the offer, Memphis BBQ is my absolute favorite. But I have no idea what you mean by New Orleans casserole.

Since the split into divisions, the standout teams:

2015:
East: Temple
West: Houston, Navy, Memphis
Temple's, and the American's, breakout year.

2016:
East: Temple, USF
West: Navy, Tulsa, Houston (OOC, at least)
When Houston beat #3 OU and #3 Louisville but came in 4th in the West.

2017:
East: UCF, USF
West: Memphis
UCF, Memphis, and USF all won 10+ games with the War on I-4 and the AAC Championship being classic games.

2018:
East: UCF, Cincinnati, Temple (in-conference)
West: Memphis
UCF and Cincinnati were the best two teams with UCF and Temple ending with the best conference records.

What brings down the East is UConn and ECU, and there's always a third bad team (used to be Cincinnati, last two years has been USF). Additionally, the winner of the division can be pointed to one specific game a season (Temple @ USF, USF @ Temple, USF @ UCF, Temple @ UCF). Whereas the West has more parity and the fate of the division isn't always determined until the last week. They also don't have as many terrible teams (SMU 2015, Tulane 2016, Tulsa 2017 stand out but none are as bad as the recent UConn teams).

I have no idea, did this Forum ever settle who has the best barbeque? Or is that supposed to be decided by which football team scores the most points? Stop by any space on Tiger Lane, at least you will be offered cold beer per any conversation.

Oops.

What exactly does an "overlord" look like?

Rome didn’t last forever. Lol, besides the season is young, let’s see what happens from here on out. But I have to admit, it doesn’t appear we are going to three-peat as AAC champs with this team and our shoddy O-line and freshman QB.
