Glad you all’s are enjoying the thread. I figured pretty early on that my team would have its work cut out for it this year. What I do like is that top-to-bottom everybody seems capable of putting up a fight (on any given Thursday, as they say) though to be sure some more capable than others...

Thursday:
USM (4-5) at FIU (3-6)
La Tech (4-5) at FAU (4-5)
<#5T> at Charlotte (1-7) <#4> at UTSA (4-5)
<#2> at UTEP (2-7)

I just don’t know what to expect tonight. I do know that it’s still Thursday Morning (afternoon already in Florida) and LA TECH IS STILL UNDER .500
They have a tough one tonight that I see going down to the wire. Still think Louisiana Tech escapes with a narrow one tonight and 2-0 weekend. I’ll give 1-1 splits to USM and FAU. I think FAU just may be FAU REAL. Not sold on the Gole Deagles.
The other three denizens of the deep in play tonight are all homestanding against upper tier competition. I’ll actually give Charlotte the nod for best chance at an upset this week. If for no other reason than they’re “due” having not won since... was it opening week?
Meantime as a Rice fan I’m pumped to be off tonight— no painful loss for US tonight, plus a chance to move up in the standings if UTEP can’t pull the improbable upset.
Thanks and Go CUSA!
