  1. in the long CSU ad he explains it well and answer most of your questions 1) recruiting , alumni base (half of the mwc teams alumni base are located in texas) and because there is more money to be made outside of tv money.. notes the overwhelming majority of te country are in central and eastern time. that they need to gain access to that in some way and also justifiably play earlier games 2) big 12 urgency, the window of leveling up is closing and they are looking for something to spark growth in the league (within its members).a ton of other reasons like aac vs mwc (aa still has more resources), prepping for a big 12 raid etc.. 3) - speculation
  2. this something ive noticed about mwc fans. to you guys it has to "make sense" to you or it wont happen. you pick a fan theory you like that make sense to "you".. after that nothing will change you guys mind, no matter the credible evidence provided .. it doesnt have to make sense to you, you dont have all the information. what is happening is happening - csu AD, said entering texas is vital, mentions it numerous times in the podcast. and hints that Craig is on board, "noting the MWC lack vision, Thompson understands that now, and part of that vision in aligning with Texas" - the big 12 bylaws dont limit them to 14, ESPN's tv contract limits them to 14.. - baylors AD (who is the head of the big 12 expansion committee) noted he needs to be convinced to add anyone, noted he doesn't like 14 members leagues and then also notes they wont just go to 16.. noted in the interview that the argument had to be "compelling" but he wont close the door on expansion... despite the confidence of boise fans, further expansion is not guaranteed and whom has not been guaranteed.. even though "if" they did expand and it was today boise and memphis would be the favorite... but as noted they arent expanding today or maybe ever, and favorites change...
  3. lol to be fair ed oliver didn't play (starting DT) 4star DE Isaiah chambers was injured 3 games ago for the season starting DE jerard carter was carted off the field in the 1st quarter and Ed Oliver's backup A. Flemmings was injured in the second.. our pass D was never good, and now our entire Dline (strength of our defense) were all out... the temple game should be interesting..i felt confident about that game a week ago, as their offense is built as run first.. but as of now not a single Dline has been cleared to play, and we just let a smu with a bad rushing offense run all over us with our backups
  4. ESPN hyped temple for 3 weeks, as the start of ucfs real schedule that game was a major win...ucf was NEVER going to get into the playoff, making the impossible less likely is meaningless...but now people have something new to debate about with ucf..they had a whole 15min segment on gameday debating it but now everyone is talking about ucf, every major sports analyst tweeted about the game...and ucf looks beatable so every game now till the end of the season with ucf will get crazy ratings hoping for a ucf upset ..we are going into negotiations in 5 months.... non-existent playoff value? down... tv network value? skyrocketing
  5. 26-20, with houston having the ball mid 4th quarter, mid-field isnt close???? you realize you can score 7 points in a possession? so on 1 end fresno fans are saying we arent good playing a close game with tulsa (houston won by 3 scores) and on the other end fresno fans are saying they blew us out (despite only winning by 6, despite that it was 6 point game most of the 4th quarter) homers galore
  6. it was a 6 point game for most of the 4th quarter, where we had a drive to take the lead late...the late pick 6 was cost us the game...saying we had no chance is ludicrous what is with fresno fans fabricating how the game went down...in a different thread fresno fans were saying they shut down ed oliver..fresno had negative rushing yards in the 1st half....fresno only had 1 drive in the entire game where they actually were able to run the ball...ed was injured and didnt play that drive ..fresno has less than a yd per rush in drives ed oliver played in
  7. 33-27 is throttled? (this score includes a late pick 6) also houston is drastically different that last year..houston was one of the worst offenses in the nation last year, they are a top 5 national offense this year (hired briles junior as OC)
  8. just like they pounded the ball on texas. this is my point that you never add context..you let your bias control almost all your opinions.. tulsa put more rushing yards on texas than usc and maryland combined...if you add kansas state, those 3 teams combined only put up about 50 more than tulsa.. look at houston defense stats last season, houston had an elite rush defense..but 1 team managed to rush over 250yds on us.. hint it wasnt navy, it was tulsa.. yes im encouraged, we improved from 288 (our by far worst last year) to 198 this year, who ed oliver says is the worst team to play....im encourage because our db made tons of plays that game...they looked vastly improved, their by far best game of the season an example of how all our debates with you go nowadays: a 2-5 team averaging 35 points a game vs everyone (including vs a top 15 team) but has a horrible defense we beat them in a 48-31 game.. 99% chance youd say you let a 2-6 team score 31 points on you..you have a horrible defense its like context doesnt exist in you...i literally gave you the context in the stat comparison
  9. Did you... Tulsa had 1good quarter total (the 3rd) Houston had a 3rd down drop that forced a punt, a 4th down drop, 2 luck turnovers (the 3rd 1st half turnover wasnt luck but a bad play by us).. all of this in the 1st half and we still had a lead .. I made a joke in the AAC forum about a team controlling game with 4 turnovers at halftime.. Houston was stopping Houston And a second question did you watch the texas vs Tulsa game ...yes, we didn't flat out shut down Tulsa in the 3rd quarter .. with your bias, Tulsa is horrific so that means we don't have defense ...I already put up the stats for you... Tulsa dominated the 3rd quarter in the Texas game as well Texas is a top 20 team almost exclusively becuase of defense .. not saying they are good but they aren't a pushover.. I've noticed you tend to remove any context when talking football..
  10. what??? the game was never In doubt? it was 7 point game for most of the 4th quarter game.. and did you watch the game? tulsa missed 3 gimme FGs in the 1st half and didnt attempt another fg for the rest of the game (went for it on 4th), one of which resulted in going for it on 4th and 5, on the texas 5 and failing... note texas only won by 7 ....tulsa left 12 points on the field the game announcers themselves for the texas game said they probably could have won had they had a kicker....the announcers in the game yesterday said the same thing...that tulsa was a few mistakes from 4-0 and a "healthier tulsa" because tulsa is the only team that has injuries??? what a weak excuse...3 of our top 5 projected defensive players didnt play (4star lb owens, and projected draft pick S garret davis (both didn't play at all) 4star DE chambers was injured in the 1st quarter) what im facing is that it seems all mwc fans are manipulative,...
  11. Texas Defense versus Tulsa 21 points 12/24 154 yards 1 TD 2 INT 38 rushes for 189 yards 2 TD 0 Fumble recoveries 0 Sacks 3 Tackles for a loss 2 QB Hurries Houston Defense versus Tulsa 26 points 13/31 227 yards 1 TD 1 INT 57 rushes for 199 yards 2 Fumble recoveries 4 Sacks 9 Tackles for a loss 8 QB hurries its funny to me, you guys were never going to be satisfied...we destroy them, they are trash..we win in regular game, we arent good...top 20 texas didnt roll tulsa...top 20 texas is top 20 almost exclusively because of defense ...but whatever floats your boat guys
  12. OSU point- Oklahoma State shut down an elite Boise offense, Oklahoma State before playing tech was argued as one of the better defenses in the nation (led nation in sacks till that point) Texas tech put up 700yards on Houston(horrible) , but they put up 650yds on okstate (while running out the clock in the 4th quarter from a blowout) Wvu who was argued as top 10 defense in all of college football before playing tech. Tech put up 500yds on them despite techs QB (collapsed lung) and top Wr (broken ankle) didn't play ( 150yds more than anyone else) Your entire premise for Houston not having defense is because of Texas tech. Have you ever considered that Texas tech is just that good on offense this year, not that Houston is horrific on defense
  13. Stating legitimate advantages is still stating legimate advantages... Playing week 0 is a huge advantage .. FACT And where did I say Tulsa or ECU are good??? I said we if we have no defense those games will definitely be shootouts ECU and Tulsa Definitely have the potential to score on a "bad defense".. which is true. Neve said they were good You like to make it seem like I'm biased when it is you who is always crazy biased. You ignore any rational to fit whatever narrative you want..like how you completely ignored my okstate point .. which is 100% valid... Houston having no credibility on defense just better fits your narrative
  14. and 28th in rushing defense... is it a commonality to mask specific traits of a game by simply stating who won...fresno fans are claiming they owned ed oliver, ignoring that he played great simply because houston lost now despite talking specifics, you are trying to discredit all specifics by saying they dont have great win loss records 1) arizona played a not horrible byu and usc in tight games (where arizona was atleast scoring)....it was 38-0 with our starters (1st half)..all Arizona points came vs backups 2) Oklahoma st has an elite defense (shut down boise), with identical strengths/weakness (elite dline/questionable dbs) as houston..texas tech put 700yds on us, they put 650yds on oklahoma state (note tech was running out the clock because they were blowing out ok state all 4th quarter)..are you going to say okstate has no defense too? 3) houston returns most of the pieces from last years defense which was one of the best in the g5, added a few touted pieces, and still has most of the same coaches. im sure our guys didnt forget how to play defense... 3b) funny enough our pass defense wasnt good last year either but last year against high powered passing offenses we played keep away because our offense wasnt good (long sustained drive) and knew we couldnt keep up in shootout..this year with a good offense we tried to outscore them and it backfired (honestly a 4th down wide open drop by killed us as it gave them a 2 scored lead)... there is no other high powered passing air raid offense on our schedule...prepare to be magically amazed as we find a defense the rest of the season.... also tulsa played a top 15 texas close (tulsa lost by 1 score, note tulsa missed 3 chip shot fgs, and didnt attempt a 4th kick, that was a turnover on downs), ecu blew out unc, and played undefeated usf close..navy will be bowl team, if navy isn't good, 9 of the 12 mwc are not good... if we have no defense those will 100% be shoot outs,
  15. ed oliver stat debates are the worst because people like you dont understand what a nose tackles stats are supposed to look like..and start comparing them to linebacker numbers 1) a dt who averages 4 tackles a game( 2 tackles for loss a game) would a unanimous 1st team all-american....the #1 dt last year (da'ron pay), averaged 3 tackles a game, and had 1 tck for loss total the entire seaason 2) those 2 tackle weren't all the plays he made (the point of me posting that link was to show that a major site decided to make content on how good he played, not that those plays encompassed everything he did in the game) and the box score doesnt even tell the full story houston runs a 3-3-5 (not a traditional 4-3), meaning we only have 3 dline in the game at any point...fresno had NEGATIVE rushing yards till the 3rd quarter, almost half of your entire rushing yards can on the very last drive...oh right, ED OLIVER WASNT IN THAT DRIVE AT ALL (he had a minor injury the drive before), the only semblance of a run game for fresno was with the absence of ed oliver ..that is dominance i wish someone made a ed oliver vs fresno highlight reel, it would be more evident...but here is a highlight reel for the season for him, this doesnt even show all the plays he made in the game (as it is supposed to season encompassing) and even stilll shows he owned you guys ..fresno stuff as 6:03 you guys and tech fans are the worst...yo guys claim you owned ed oliver....no you didnt..owning ed oliver= huge rushing yards, running right at him, or tons of deep pass, from having days in the pocket..neither you or tech did that... you ran at ed, got nothing...so you then decided to throw tons of short quick passes to limit the impact of ed (ps im not made at it, that is the smart way to play houston, challenge our dbs not ed oliver)
  16. On 3yds per rush, you realize that is bad.. very bad Fresno had negative rushing yards in the 1st half... 50% of all your rushing yard came from your very last drive of the game Ed Oliver played great vs Fresno, he had numerous tackles for loss and had a rushing touchdown Sportingnews made a full article about how good he played http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/video/houston-dt-ed-oliver-makes-plays-vs-fresno-state/lu5kt8rq0gqe1lrbgj2p3qahl Losing doesn't mean he played bad
  17. Google defensive stats Houston has one of the best run defense in all of the G5.. Houston pass defense was never good, that has been known,yes, Houston pass defense looked horrific vs the best passing offense in the nation we won't play anyone with that caliber passing attack unless we meet UCF in the CCG Your "we don't play defense statement" is naive ... Get ready for us to magically find a defense not playing an air raid offense
  18. You realize Houston has the biggest darling this season in Ed Oliver .... The national media wants us to be good.. which is why we have had 2 OTA games and a ESPN games and we are only 3 games in Also Houston lost to texas tech in a shootout on 4th down drop , that let them get 2 scores up Boise was blownout by ok state Our losses played each other... Texas tech blew out okstate
  19. you realize a 1 loss houston, would mean we would have beaten usf (who will be ranked top 20 by our game).houston plays usf before usf plays ucf.... and a potential top 10 ucf a 1 loss houston, would trump a 1 loss boise..it wouldnt even be that close.....are you banking on troy carrying your sos?? byu just lost by a million...boise wont have a top 25 win all season saying a 2 loss boise would be ahead of a 1 loss houston is homerism...... very blind & dumb homerism
  20. this statement doesnt make sense to me at all 1) hawaii/mac lost its ny6..houston won it's own.. even if that was our high water mark, it isnt the same as hawaii.. in the last 30 years no major bowl game has been won by a non aac/non boise team outside the current p5 2) do you not have the internet..houston has been to something like 6 major bowl games, and 1 end of the season texas upset away from a national championship...we have a heisman and a regular top team for most of our history..something like 6 top 10 finishes in the final poll....and only started playing football like 60years ago as a matter of fact the only time in our history we werent a top team was the years we DIDNT have resources...1993-2003 (years after being left out of the swc, after it was announced)...houston (and every team left out) instantly lost millions a year.. while everyone else was spending to improve their programs, houston had to find away to cut everything to cut millions from their budget (not a single facility in houston received any renovations for over a decade).it wasnt until houston hired a high school coach for cheap (art briles) who found a way to win for no money, ,did we climb out of the no resource hole...when he won, donor funding drastically increased beyond that 10 year dark ages..we have honestly be a top program no matter where we've been
  21. ps i rewatched the A&M game and the ASU game because you were using that as reason they were going to beat us because they were kinda close scores...(i also rewatched the UNM game)..did you actually watch any of those games..or simply going by the scores being close?? i thought id be more nervous about utsa after watching but i actually felt more confidence..utsa scored 28 on asu but 14 came from muffed punts, utsa had to change qbs midway vs A&M because they had zero offensive production for most of the game..the games werent anywhere as close as the scores
  22. i just checked,, you misread it, they have us winning 3
  23. making up facts is a commonality here..the sec doesnt even host soccer because so few teams sponsor it , the pac 12 has 6 teams (including sdsu), none of which are the southern pac 12 teams most schools choose between baseball or soccer
  24. smu has mens soccer....they chose soccer over baseball..
