mode = mean. Nice curve!

news flash, Ambien can affect one's reading comprehension. I thought that we were talking about P5 victories. At least I don't tweet on Ambien...

puc, help me understand this. Do you mean that no matter how good the G5 team is that we beat, it will be discounted as a fluke, the G5 team was at a historic low, or some such?

Bry, back then the BE was considered the lowest of the major conferences (moniker - Big Least), but was grudgingly afforded some respect due to the three teams doing so well. The teams selected were also good in MBB, IIRC. So, we were in the "club" and accepting our progress wasn't letting an outsider in. We are no longer "in the club" and breaking into the P5 will not be earned but gifted in the minds of P5. A conference championship should rightly be our next goal. But, as I have said before, our key to advancement is more likely beating quality P5 teams. A conference championship of a disrespected conference is just a disrespected championship. Beating WVA, FSU, ND, Miami, etc. did more for us than a BE title would have done. Teams saw that and are loath to schedule us now. I want us to earn a spot at the grownup's table. Not count on another team's success to "lift our boat".

Yeah, I doubt that we will put up as many points as is predicted. We will take it easy toward the end to conserve our first string for the challenges ahead.

USF 24-10 Cronkrite McCants 495 I'll be trying to find how to watch it while visiting family in Wichita, KS.

I've never been comfortable (or proud) relying on others for my success. It's as embarrassing as going to another team's BB to thank them for beating a team that beat us. Have some pride and confidence. Don't rely on central to somehow secure a Pee5 berth for us. We need to do that ourselves and central can go pound sand. I hope they lose everything they ever compete for and we win everything we compete for. Actually, I don't know why Bulls fans are so obsessed with central.

Looks like it. With a four yard pass reception. Great to see.

Done. Cool to see

And we can have rings made for the achievement!

last year THE RANKINGS: Four Pac-12 teams are ranked in the AP poll, three in the Coaches poll. WASHINGTON (9/11), STANFORD (10/9), USC (17/12) and OREGON (23/nr) ... WASHINGTON has now appeared in the AP Top 25 for 34 consecutive ranking periods ... UTAH is the top team among others receiving votes in the AP poll, while Oregon is just outside the Top 25 in the Coaches poll. https://pac-12.com/article/2018/09/04/four-pac-12-football-teams-ranked-top-25-matchup-opens-conference-play oops, misread your post. Thought you meant in the same conference. My mistake.

Wow

Only 3 pass rushers and our line can't handle it

We're a second half team... We're a second half team...

As soon as I saw that hit, it reminded me of the Boom at our first game against FSU. Was it Young that came up from safety to knock out the running back?

We have to earn it. Yes, it is harder being G5, but we have not wowed the writers and voters. Heck, we haven't even wowed most of this board. Steady achievement of goals. Conference championship. Big name upsets. It's not going to happen because someone is willing to take a risk in their vote on us. It will happen when it is just too ridiculous to not rank us.

I think you had a premature ejection. It's OK, it happens sometimes with young folks.

The clash of the quarterbacks when we play UCiF this year reminds me of the Grothe vs. Pat White contests of ten years ago.

Watched the Temple game. That RB, Wright, stops and starts, cuts, and waits for his blocks like I have never seen. They RB by committee and if we stop the run, we have this won. If not, it will be a game.

Certainly troubling, but he is not guilty until proven guilty. I'm going to hold off judgment until then. That's what I want other schools to do when one of our own gets charged with something. No university needs this, though.

FSU only has room for an FCS team? Don't they get to pick an FBS team if they wish? That would be my preferred team to schedule

I was thinking this also (although he was a good guy). A lot of the posters here didn't see the games of ten to fifteen years ago. I remember yelling to the opposing team, "Hey, use our kicker!".
