Must be nice when 7-9 wins is a down year lol.

Anything short of winning the conference and contending for a NY6 berth means we're basically invisible in the Houston sports market. Sucks, but there it is.

Pretty much the same thing with Memphis in the Memphis market as it pertains to anyone outside of the 20,000 base fans. Too much SEC competition.

There's no need for being stupidly lame in saying that. Tulane will win due to the number of UH injuries and bad, bad coaching. And, if there's no wonder about tonight's game, there's certainly no wonder about UH's Memphis game.

Ah, I see what you're doing. But that reverse psychology isn't going to work!

He already said he isn’t coming back. Problem is mock drafts are now questioning his work ethic and wether he is even worth a top 10 pic. Last mock draft i saw had him falling all the way to 12th.

If he drops out of the top 10 someone will get him at a huge discount. Questioning his work ethic is dumb, just look @ the tape. The man is a monster. Navy also ended the season of Cinci best defensive player with a cheap shot. They tried to take a few cheap shots against UCF but luckily we made it out unharmed.

As long as he's healthy at the combine--he will be fine. Oliver's measurables are going to blow people away. He'll move into the top 5 after the combine.

As for tonights game---I have zero confidence that D'onofrio is capable of keeping a team below 35 points for the rest of the year. It took him three quarters just to move a safety down into the box against Temple. He's a moron. I think Tulane probably takes this one. Im not so sure Applewhite can go 0-2 vs Tulane and survive. Winning 7-8 games would typically get Major one last year to turn it around---but going 0-2 to Tulane is a huge negative here. That might just be enough to get him sent packing. As for D'onofrio----he's a dead man walking either way. He should enjoy his last 2 games as a DC. After his performance here, he will never be an FBS DC again.

how the hell is Houston favored??

The Defensive line was the strength of Houston's defense and the entire D- Line is out for the season with 2nd string also banged up. Ed Oliver masked allot of problems with this and with Oliver, Carter, Chambers + Best cover guy Davis are all out for season, we are exposed! Unless some guys suddenly steps and D'Onofrio learns how to coach we would give up 50 points to the Louisiana school for deaf and blind nuns.

This year's Tulane beats the one Levine lost to by 3 TDs. Perceptions die hard, but this isn't the same kind of loss.

If Houston and Memphis win then next week's game at the Liberty Bowl is for the division title.

Tulane by 60.

The ****** Memphis tigers gonna backdoor their way in this year. It will happen

Tulane by 10

Tulanes a solid team this year. None the less, the perception of being 0-2 to Tulane---along with the general maiase of back-to-back 7 win seasons after taking over for Herman will be a serious issue for Major to overcome. And to be fair--its not just the record against Tulane thats problematic. If Major finishes with just 7 wins, it would mean he is 4-6 against the Western Division during his tenure and will have zero seasons over .500 against the west. Even the strongest Major backers are going to have trouble putting a positive spin on that.

Willie Fritz can coach circles around Applebottom.

This statistics combined with the fact that applewhite ruined oliver is going to make it very hard for him to come back under any scenario. Plain and simple applewhite cannot coach worth a damn. The buy-out isn’t even really a problem when you think about it.

I think it time we make a thread where we start looking at the next Houston head coach. I wonder if we made briles the new coach could we possibly bring in les miles as the defensive coordinator?

As I understand it, it was a Navy offensive lineman that "ruined" Oliver. No?

No it was applewhite. He hired a defensive coordinator who was well known for being bad, refused to fire him after a terrible season, now wasted oliver in the few games we had him. He also should be demanding that oliver play regardless of what his wishes are. If he isn’t going to play then we might as well cut him. Whats the point in keeping him around at this point?

On espn’s website, the line on this game moved from Tulane +10.5 to Tulane +7.5 since Monday.

Obviously, I’d love to see Tulane take this one, and I do think they have a very legit chance to do so. But this is precisely the sort of tipping-point game that I have watched the Wave get crushed in, over and over again, for the past 30 years, with the one-and-only exception of 1998. As comforting as it would be to believe that HC Willie Fritz had found the proverbial secret formula to win games like this... sorry, I’m just not convinced.

Coogs either win in OT, or else score the winning points in last 30 seconds of the 4thQtr. Tulane beats Navy to reach 6-6 and goes to the Cure Bowl

Well, we all don't have much longer to see what's up. Most Memphis fans will grudgingly become UH fans for the night.

I think the trap game for Tulane was ECU. They have been smashed in games like those before.

So, do we know if Oliver is playing tonight?
