Both basketball squads were in action yesterday and both produced quality wins. The men are always going to get a little more praise than the women, but Jalie Mitchell has the more recent tournament success. Last year NT rode a pair of upsets into the semi-final round before losing to eventual winners WKU. This year…
The CUSA picture is just short of crystal clear now: FAU is the likely East winner and North Texas has clinched the West. There are two games before Dec 2nd and the rest of the conference is using that to get into a bowl, get some respectability, or play out the string. Clear Best Team…
Sitting at the CUSA Media Days, the stories were these: Lane Kiffin, Butch Davis, UAB, and could anyone beat La Tech/WKU? Now? Lane Kiffin, Butch Davis, UAB, and North Texas. #TheReturn has been a great story and is only overshadowed by the Lane Train soaking up the Florida sunshine (and attention). Kiffin was always going…
The league we thought was hard to get a feel for is even harder to understand today. FAU went to Western Kentucky and beat the twice-defending CUSA champs to stake their claim as the team to beat in CUSA. While FIU and Marshall also control their fate, FAU is the clear best team in the…
CUSA had a memorable week. FAU had a statement win that is bringing (even more) national notice. North Texas got a reailty check. WKU looked vulnerable again. Marshall looked complete, and Charlotte got relief. Let us rank this league: Looking Really Good 1. FAU (5) Destroying the CUSA West leader in dramatically dominant fashion is…
USA had a moment this week. North Texas and UTSA provided the kind of drama that could be clipped and posted all over the place and it was. CUSA helpfully shrank the video for ease of sharing and all enjoyed the Fine Moment. North Texas have made their way to the top of this week’s…
College Football had an interesting week — Louisville, Oklahoma, Michigan, Utah, and FLorida all were upset. Here in CUSA the MGN number one and three fell and number two was challenged by the league’s worst team. So goes college football. It is crazy. Unfortunately, the league’s best game was on Facebook, while the most exciting…
The game of the week was North Texas at Southern Miss and it was only on CUSA.TV. Ideally the best game of the week should be televised — even BEIN! — or at least have the ESPN3 treatment. I realize this is difficult but right now having the best games hidden away is terrible for…
1. La Tech (1) La Tech nearly knocked off South Carolina in a game that would have been the most impressive non-con victory for the league. As it was, the Bulldogs probably played it too conservatively in their go-ahead drive and that cost them the game. S&P+ has them losing to UTSA and Southern Miss…
College football had another great week. Here in Conference USA there were some concerns as the marquee matchup was played on the internet and the league’s best teams are mediocre. There were season-changing injuries and firings. Middle Tennessee lost their QB Brent Stockstill to a sternum injury and WR Richie James was also banged up.…
