do you just troll for fun, or do you even read the posts you troll? he put in there specifically that it compared the good, bad and ugly. he talked about certain teams being in beast mode and mentioned Alabama specifically. all you had to do was read the post and read the data of the teams he sampled to understand the point he was trying to make.
About time? They have been in a bowl game every year since 2005 except last year and this should be their 3rd 10+ win season during that time span.
When you use raw stats, they're the former; when you adjust them for level of competition, they're closer to the latter.
I think that if you adjust it, they'd probably sit somewhere in the 80-90 range. They're not among the worst, but they're a noticeable step below average. They're only slightly behind TCU at yards and points per play. Who has a marginally higher SOS (about 20 spots higher), and whom nobody would say is "below average" on defense. It's hard to quantify, and I don't know what metrics those guys you linked to use. Like I said, we'll see what's really up when they play SMU, Tulsa, and hopefully Southern Miss, none of whom are proving to be slouches. (on offense, at least, heh...)
That's exactly where they are, they're severely hurt by the fact they gave up huge yards & points to otherwise pedestrian offenses like UTEP
Well good, we're all in agreement then (I can't look at that site, btw, blocked by a work filter). I think 80-90 is "below average", you think it is "god awful". I can live with that. If we get our faces smashed in a BCS bowl, yall can feel free to laugh and point fingers and stuff. The money will make the taunting and I told you so's very tolerable.
Exactly. I don't give a crap if UH makes it to a BCS bowl and gets the snot kicked out of them. They're going against BCS AQ teams who have tons more money. Let's just get some cash and keep building up the program. Haters gonna hate!
I'm surprised that nobody is talking about UH and SMU getting invites to the Big East? http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/7177969/big-east-invite-six-football-according-report
Hopefully they go... Its pretty much a guaranteed yearly BCS berth for UH... They would be a major athletic program
Boise would rather beat up on Rice, UAB, Memphis, etc. I dont think they want legit competition every week.
Boise vs UH would be ridiculously fun to watch... That would make a great BCS matchup for fans but would be lousy for college football... They like different styles playing each other in the BCS.. which is a reason why I believe they would shun UH this season
Doubt it. Boise St.'s defense would probably come up with a couple of stops on our offense, whereas our defense wouldn't come up with any. It wouldn't be a blowout, but Boise St. would win by a touchdown or two.
