So, I think a Sun Belt team will be in Shreveport.

Thought about that as a possibility, but didn't know if there had been contact made. Makes sense, and is good for all parties as LA Tech gets new scenery with a manageable roadtrip, and the Sun Belt gets an extra bowl in our footprint to deal with instead of Dallas.

Plus, if Shreveport took the Cajuns or ASU, they could actually have fans of a participating team show up for the game, unlike when a certain local team plays there...

We still have a very, very slim shot at Orange Bowl (we came in at #20 in BCS this week), but I feel like we will be in either the HOD or Liberty Bowl. I would probably give the nod to HOD if forced to guess. I would think in that case the Independence should be a lock for a Sun Belt team.

we've lost 2 in a row at home going back to creative ways to lose like we did when we went 0-26.

our road game is at lafayette. we all saw what they did yesterday. on the road.

this was a really promising season that has come crashing down.

and it has had nothing to do with jakes. it's not on him.

WKU is a 16.5 point favorite at home over Florida Atlantic, and you don't think WKU will win this game?

Be theriouth!

we were a 10 point favorite over middle and got butt-raped.

we look like we're back in that 0-26 groove where we came up with ways to lose at home. fau is at western. they've been coming on.

we've lost 2 out of our last 3 games and our 'special' dee can't stop anyone. perhaps they read too many articles. i'm sincerely not putting it on jakes or andrews.

we've backslid into not getting plays in and using up timeouts. our special teams are atrocious.

you tell me how we have a chance?

Here are my thoughts:

MT has probably been a little underrated/undervalued because of that McNeese loss - so they probably shouldn't have been more than a 7 point dog, as opposed to the 9.5 dog they closed as.

WKU had 2 turnovers, MT had zero.
WKU had 438 yards, MT had 342
WKU had 7.0 yards per play, MT had 5.1

It took -2 turnovers and a 96 yard KO return for Middle to win at BG.  

Any 7 to 10 pt fav that gives up 2 turnovers and a special teams TD is gonna have a hard time winning - that's just how the fb bounces.

So, unless WKU is -4 on turnovers, there is no way in hell they lose to FAU, who is clearly inferior(but improving) to MT.

Defense wins. WKU has the best defense in the Belt, despite that monumental choke job on that last ULM drive.
FAU just doesn't have the horses. 


Book it.

I don't see LaTech in Heart of Dallas. Big XII will cover its side and Big Ten probably not. The game has a back-up deal with the MAC.

There is some speculation that CUSA wants to pull out of the Liberty so it can cover HOD but if that happens its likely Tulsa they send to HOD.

middle got their ass handed to them at home to an fcs team and got crushed when they played miss. state. they're not that good. neither are we. they gashed our defense. giving up 34 to them at home doesn't scream good team.

i called the middle/ulm game the pyrite bowl. i was wrong. there's a san francisco size pyrite vein in bowling green amigo.

fau beat troy then lost by one score to navy. navy....who owned us like a middle school team last year. pellini will come to bg expecting a win. i concur.

but i will still be there. and I'm still going to lafayette. that's what fans do. i was at every home game during the 0-26. so i'm pretty comfortable with another home loss.

Fans don't travel as far as Lafayette thinking they'll get the living sh!t beaten out of them. And if you think FAU will handle WKU @ home, I don't know how/why you'd expect otherwise at Lafayette.

Yep so hilarious it is looking more likely. If we win out and Nebraska loses one, we are probably in. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. I was not here to flame. Just to comment on a thread about bowls in which the OP mentioned us.

Either HOD or Liberty would be fine with me. I guess my main point was to say that I think the Independence will probably take a Sun Belt team, not to upset other folks by posting here. I will leave y'all to your discussions.

The Big 10 is so bad this year, they actually have a shot. Its frightening to think about...I know. Boise stunk things up this week, which left La Neck as the top rated Non BCS entity.

I imagine that La Tech vs Louisville showdown will draw all sorts of ratings.

that's exactly why i'm going! i made the flight reservation over a month ago. so at that time there might have been a part of me that thought we had a chance.

but in the back of my mind the real reason was for the experience. some of my best friends in the marine corps were cajuns. i love those folks. they down and dirty and proud of it. i love cajun food.

ima prolly have sideline passes so i'll get to experience every cussword known to man. i'm pretty fluent already but i'm always up to learn a new foul word.

hud just beat the crap out of the number one team in our conference. they owe us backpay for 2 years. it'll get ugly.

but i'm at the age that i know i'll enjoy myself no matter what the outcome of the game. sure.....i want to win every single one of them. but i also like to sit around and say "yo....you remember the time we wuz in lafayette and you...."

Louisiana Tech isn't going to be going to a BCS bowl, I believe. Finishing with only one loss AND a rating high enough would be a shock.

I think Beed or Zee should earn the "Golden Sandbag" Trophy for the winner of the Cajun/Hilltopper game.

La Tech also has to be ranked in the top #16 right?.?.?.?.. And the rest of their schedule isn't going to help much. I know they are playing a SJS and UT St that have good records, but they are just two more WAC schools. Not a lot of respect will be given to those games. That and Utah St will probably win anyway.

Will FAU come into BG expecting to win? Yes.

EVERY athlete and coach THINKS they can win every game. If they didnt then they wouldnt be much of a player or coach.

Do FAU fans expect to win? No.

The team just isn't there quite yet. We are getting closer every game. The evolution has been from blowing Games, to halfs, to quarters, and now we are down to blowing one or 2 plays a game. Solid progress.

WKU has to be stinging losing to MTSU, and I'm afraid they are going to take it out on FAU @ home. FAU is getting better. The Troy win was HUGE for morale and it showed against Navy. We could play spoiler to a team before this season is out. I dont think its going to be WKU though. They are going to be hungry.

So, I think a Sun Belt team will be in Shreveport.

Thought about that as a possibility, but didn't know if there had been contact made. Makes sense, and is good for all parties as LA Tech gets new scenery with a manageable roadtrip, and the Sun Belt gets an extra bowl in our footprint to deal with instead of Dallas.

We still have a very, very slim shot at Orange Bowl (we came in at #20 in BCS this week), but I feel like we will be in either the HOD or Liberty Bowl. I would probably give the nod to HOD if forced to guess. I would think in that case the Independence should be a lock for a Sun Belt team.

A one loss WAC team making a BCS bowl! You're funny, that's a good one!

Yep so hilarious it is looking more likely. If we win out and Nebraska loses one, we are probably in. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. I was not here to flame. Just to comment on a thread about bowls in which the OP mentioned us.

You guys are having a great season, and looked good against A&M after a slow start. I think that Tech does have the best shot of being a BCS buster, but I don't think it happens, especially with how thin the WAC is. However, if there was a year for it to happen, this would be it. It helps that Ohio St is ineligible and Texas, USC, and Oklahoma are having subpar years. However, you have yet to play the other two best teams in the WAC, and shouldn't be counting your chickens before they hatch.
