The Great 8

It's ironic it happened on one of his worst individual performances, ever. And in a game where he was very publicly sulking.

Sure, they said positives. When did they talk irrational **** on Temple, though? They were pathetic, but the managed to remain professional to them.

P.s. I do believe we're top 15 material. That defensive performance was just incredible. A huge improvement there, even with the offensive regression, is a major leap forward.

Those commentators were throwing so much unnecessary insults at us, not to mention generally unprofessional. A few instances from memory that we're most asinine: Repeatedly calling QF a "poor man's Lamar Jackson", Poking fun at the "4000 fans" in attendance, Joking that "we won't have any problems with traffic" after the game, Saying SDSU is a better G5 NY6 team because we have too many penalties - THEY ARE IN THE BOTTOM 10 IN PENALTIES Suggesting them rooting for Temple after the forced fumble is unprofessional, but proceeded to do it anyway, Talking about New Orleans food for 10 minutes, for God knows what reason, Talking about two-stepping repeatedly, Joey wearing an untucked shirt in a broadcast booth on national TV, Of course, Booger wins it all when he decided to talk about his hot teacher in 8th grade getting him interested in math because she wore short skirts. And how she's now his kids godmother... While on the subject about teachers not getting enough respect. Bonus: ESPN deciding it was relevant to show Rutgers storming the field on us in 2007 instead of anything remotely positive from our past. Frankly, it was kind of amusing, but only because they were such a trainwreck. They deserve to be fired, IMO.

Not happening

Temple sucks offensively, but pitching a defensive shut out and holding a power team to negative rush yards is just insanely awesome.

Help the poor. Pay anyone qualifying for welfare to go to the game. Anyone in the seats is better than this..

We did. We cockblocked UCF out of the BE for awhile, from the sounds of it.

Conference championship. Mainly because the football Gods hate us.

We were the only football being played that night. It is not bad, but not good either. We got beat by Baylor/Rice last year. Seems to be about the right number for a G5 team playing.

One of us will lose this year. Bank on it.

Well played. I love the confusion that ensued even more.

Baylor/Rice from the same Friday last year: 1.454 million. Seems pretty average, at best.

It's Deonte not Delonte http://www.gousfbulls.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6562

I'd love to play UW.

I agree. The offense last game was great. We had a lot of miscues, but still scored 47. And, that's kind of the point. Gilbert is off the hot seat, for now.

The shot at Welch is that OP can't spell his name.

Dropped touchdowns, and passes, happen every game to every team. Can you please stop continually using this as a rebuttal to the offense not performing as expected for some? Instead, why don't you create a thread the day we have zero dropped passes that should've been caught. I won't wait up.

So, schools like ECU are beating us in attendance because... They never we're AQ and we're collectively butt hurt that we're not anymore? Do our current potential fans even remember 5-10 years ago when we were AQ? I'd wager not. There's something more at play here. But, leaning on non-AQ just isn't fair. IMO - we're in a bit of a unique situation between poor conference affiliation, conservative schedules overall, competition from other discretionary activities nearby, inability to crack the Big 3 culture, and general lack of school pride. I'd posit that an OCS with a better tailgate atmosphere coupled with a very strong OOC schedule would increase season ticket holders and early season rankings. Get into the top 10-15 during OOC play and people will show up to our conference play hoping to see a CFP team. Harlan should be doing everything possible, including paying blue bloods to play us, to get our schedules beefed up. The BE-era OOC schedule of FCS, G5, G5, Ranked P5 just isn't enough anymore. It needs to be as close to FCS, RP5 × 3 as possible.

We had 2x folks at homecoming in 2007-09 because of increased budget? Doubtful. I don't even think we've felt the pinch due to all the money we've got from buy outs of the BE traitors.

I love how we have a game postponed and drop in the rankings. Meanwhile, Miami has a game postponed and raises a few spots. Cool.

You guys really think that if The American suddenly was granted P6 status that our home attendance would just instantly increase? Something more than conference affiliation has changed what happened in 2007 homecoming vs 2017 homecoming, imo.

Can we say anything then? "just don't read it", right?

Yeah, their fans. What's the difference now between us getting 50K+ at 2007 Cincy homecoming vs what'll happen for 2017 Cincy homecoming? We'll arguably have an even better team to celebrate.
