Haven't watched UH this year except for today, so I only have one reference point, but if their D line plays us like they played Texas, Shapen won't have time to breathe, and our rushing attack is non existentbear2be2 said:They played well today, but that's been an outlier for them this season.Killing Floor said:
Anyone else watch the Texas Houston game? I'm not writing that as a win. They only lost because some dumb kid lost his cool in the last possession and ripped someone's helmet off on a dead ball. Their defense owned Texas for 3 quarters after a weak start.
That will be an interesting game because they don't run the ball very well and they're really bad in the secondary. We might match up pretty well in that one.

I don't know what to make of UH. They lose to Rice....but they also gave UT a scare.
After what UH did to UT and UCF did to OU today that gap that seemed huge with OUT isn't looking as big.
Maybe both teams had hangovers from the Redriver Shootout

Both are beatable and I hope K State, Kansas, OSU, or someone else does beat them. Even better, each should lose at least twice. I don't want either of them to play in Arlington. Unfortunately it probably will be moth if the playing for the title & the winner will probably be in the playoffs.
Agree. Don't know if runner made the line but was very close and that spot looked short to me
Let’s Go!
I think we can beat TCU if our team treats it like a real rivalry like tcu does. And UH played UT like a super bowl. They will throw out a clunker game for us.
Unless a different team shows up, we're not making 6 wins. We barely beat Cinci, another bottom dwelling team, and we lost easily enough to Tech, another bad team. Path to 6 would require some serious mojo, something this team has been short of.
What's that? Ah- Bowl Game…Don't talk to me about -Bowl Game. You kidding me? Bowl Game…I hope we just win a game.

I'm not penciling in TCU as an auto-loss either, even though history suggests it should be. They've been horribly inconsistent this season, too.
Won't even be a game
Frogs by 20 plus
Baylor sucks this year....but TCU isn't setting the world on fire.
You are 4-3 with 4 wins over Nichols, UH, SMU, and BYU. So an FCS school, 2 teams that were G5 last year, and one team that is G5 this year.
Last year was great for you guys....but this isn't the year to be crowing on other team's fan boards.....and Georgia just scored again.
Just saying that TCU is 3 touchdowns better than bu
It's always been their super bow.
Art was setuo to own them for 15 years+. Had it not been a monsoon and playing a WR at qb inthink that would have been 4 of 5 her have won before the BOR "scandaled" him
Looks like TCU was looking ahead to the Baylor game when they traveled to Manhattan today. I guess the K State game was a trap game for them!
I'm just ready for Iowa State.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

UH may be the only game we are favored in. Assuming we handle the Cougars we've got to find at least 2 wins in those other 4 games.

With a little luck, like the Cinci game, could end up 4 - 8
Throw the ball 60%+ or more of the snaps, like the Cinci game, and with a little luck could end up 5 - 7

So what you are saying is there is a chance. With our 34th ranked APR if enough teams in front of us in APR either go under 5-7 or better than 5-7 we have a chance. Start pricing airfare and hotels in Mobile. We have a shot at the 68 Ventures Bowl.
Are we back in the top 100???
Top 100? I just want to graduate back to at least FS1 or ESPNU. My standards aren't high.
Just concentrating on ISU.

I will be ok with that.
Problem with Joel projections is they never pan out. If we do go bowling, it will probably be a totally different one against somebody else.

Odds of baylor bowling is as close to Zero as can be without being actually 0
I really don't understand why people are talking about bowls at this point. Win a couple of games and then check back. At least win one more, then check back.

Don't disagree. We have to have something to discuss given the state of the program

Going 3-2 against those teams shouldn't be out of the question if Baylor is any kind of team at all. So far this year they don't appear to be up to the task, but maybe we're in for a few surprises.boognish_bear said:

Our team has already surprised us twice so why should we not hope for some more?

The only bowl that we currently deserve is the toilet bowl. I really hate to say that.
Bowl bids are important because your team gets to practice for another month. For football, that's important.
Doesn't matter what bowl, let's hope the Bears get to SOME bowl.

Look I hate tcu as much as anyone. Mediocre?
Baylor's path to a bowl????
Win 2 more and pray there aren't enough 6 win teams and we are the highest rated 5-7 team?

We hope for more.
Tho most of us don't actually expect more.
Because the same team has also surprised twice in the opposite way. We're all hopeful. But it's not anything I'd be comfortable betting on.
Let’s Go!
