    Somebody doing a poll projection waste-of-time piece had a headline saying "Wisconsin plays AAC opponent in latest USA Today bowl projections", implying that Wisconsin has sunk to a new low. I open the article and it's UC in the Fiesta Bowl. Maybe we'll get more respect if we're in the Big 12?

      That's just the air of elitism projected onto "THE" B1G, SEC, etc by the ESPN staff who by the way are comprised of mostly athletes of those same conferences and cant think for themselves. The dis towards UC is standard fare and m.o. on ESPN. Just my $.002.

        Just remember that the last few years of the Big East and the "power 6", UC dominated that conference and non of the outlets ever reference to that. They just say that UC is this or that. Those teams that got an invite to the ACC or the Big 12 0ver 10 years ago, UC was beating them. Non of the outlets question the value of Pitt or WV or Syracuse, or Louisville or....... We beat them. Period! However, we are labelled a group of losers. In my opinion, they can go ..................

            It is going to be a long day for USF.

              ECU with the opening play razzle dazzle for 6. Ahlers flips to Snead coming off the slot. Snead unloads for a 75 yard TD

                Un-be-lievable finish between UCF & UofL. Tied at 35, UCF tipped & picked off a pass with 0:25 left at the Cards' 41. On the next play, Dillon Gabriel threw a pass over the middle that went through the hands of the receiver that UofL returned for a pick 6. 42-35 with 0:13 left.

                  Speaking of Dillon Gabriel, he broke his collarbone the other night and is out for a while. I have no idea at this point if he'll be back for the UC game but apparently he does not need surgery.


                  tOSU is struggling at home against Tulsa. There's something you never type.

                      Here's the scoreboard for this wekk:



                      SMU vs. TCU looks like the best game on this schedule. Navy and Houston is the lone conference game. South Florida playing 25 year olds at altitude in Provo should be a complete debacle.

                          USF are being dismantled at BYU, down 21-zip in the 1st quarter. The Bulls' brass made a huge mistake several years ago when they fired longtime HC Jim Leavitt on the grounds that he couldn't take USF to the next level. Perhaps not, but that program is at the next level below where they were. I know some Bulls fans were hopeful of a B12 invite. Until they get serious about how to run the program, they'll be stuck at the bottom of the AAC barrel.

                            Hello! Good Morning, Memphis lost to UTSA yesterday in the Liberty Bowl . Didn't see this coming at all. UTSA kicked a walk off field and scored 17 in the 4Q.

                            Houston defesated Navy 28-20

                            USF almost came back in that game and scored 21 after the half only to lose 35-27 which is exactly what I didn't expect them to be able to do in Provo.

                              Paywalled article, but the Liberty Bowl stadium is getting a new corporate name via a naming rights deal -- which will also, apparently, lead to a "dramatic redo of the stadium"

                                Houston is trying to destroy Tulsa tonight and can’t tell whether UH is good or Tulsa is hot garbage. 14-0 after 1q
