Big impact games this weekend

Why no talk of san jose vs Boise? San Jose can really throw it. Blew the game early in the season vs wash st that they had in the bag.

Big game for sure. Rebs almost need Boise to win though. If Boise loses, Rebs would need them to drop a second game unless CSU also dropped 2.

(Assuming Rebs handle their business).

Plus would rather have Boise top 10ish in title game if Rebs get there.

Boise loses to SJSU, they might drop down to the 20s.

My 5 favorite NCAAfb teams for the next 3 weeks.....

We are 0-4 and 2-8 vs. SJSU in recent games. We have also lost 4 out of last 5 vs. SDSU.

Both of these programs completely and totally own us.
And add to it our offense has been suspect a lot of the time in the last few games and we could be in a dog fight in all 3 remaining games. Between Marion’s lack of imagination and Hajj crashing back to earth, we just don’t know what this team will do because of our suspect offensive unit!

My 5 favorite NCAAfb teams for the next 3 weeks.....

My understanding is this:

1st Tiebreaker: head-head results (none in this case, we didn't play eachother)
2nd tiebreaker: highest team in the CFP rankings (if we win out, there is a good chance we are top 25 in the CFP rankings)
3rd tiebreaker: overall winning percentage
4th tiebreaker: record against next highest placed team
Does the SOS adds to that as well?

Big impact games this weekend

Wyoming v CSU at CSU - CSU is a 9.5 point favorite. Hope to see Wyoming play above themselves. CSU has had enough luck to put up the points they needed for conference games, now hopefully they have some bad luck. Wyoming has had bad luck most of the year, I hope to see that turn around for at least one game!

Kansas v byu at byu. - Not much confidence in a top 10 team considering they are only a 2.5 point favorite at home verse Kansas. Everything has gone right for byu winning several close games that should have been loses, while Kansas has found a way to collapse in the second half for most of the season. byu could have easily been 5-4 instead of 9-0. They are due a loss very soon based on how they have looked over the last month. A Kansas win would look really good for UNLV overall ratings.

Houston v Arizona at Arizona. Arizona is a 1 point favorite at home. This could get Houston back to 5-5 with a winning conference record. Would be a good win for UNLV.

Kansas is better than record would indicate for sure.

Houston's defense is really good. Their offense is equally bad.

Be great if both got to bowl eligibility.

If CSU loses one, what's the tiebreaker between them and us?

For that WSU football guy..

Yes Klay Thompson (son of Mychal Thompson former #1 NBA draft pick) played at WSU for 3 years. The Cougs did not make the NCAA's when Klay was there. They made the round of 32 in 06-07 and the Sweet 16 in 07-08, before Klay joined the team. They did make the NIT in Klay's freshman and junior (his last) year.

Those were golden years of Coug BB, as legend Dick Bennett came out of retirement and built the team for 3 years, then handed the reins to his son Tony, who bailed to Virginia after the afore-mentioned NCAA trips and the NIT in his last year.

Another WSU NBA player that bears mentioning was Aron Baynes from Australia, who did pretty well in the NBA although he shuffled around a lot. He was a beast. Baynes was there for the NCAA runs and his senior year was Klay's frosh year.


Clearly I was wrong, I thought for sure his junior yr, at my age I am wrong alot, lol. Hall of fame career for Thompson.

MIA???

Grades? So much online stuff now, so many people to “help”. Doesn’t make sense.

Mel Love gave me his books one semester in a class we had together. He didn’t need them and I’m not going to lie I barely used them. At the end of the semester he asked for his books back and to change the subject since I already sold them and kept the cash, I asked how he did on the final. He said I got an A, I said how do you know grades aren’t posted, he said because I had the god damn answers…

1. UNLV
2. Wyoming
3. Fresno
4. Utah State
5. Miami

We need those Rams to take a loss, two would be better.

....or....

Boise to drop the next 2 and we win out.

I'd love to be in that MWC championship game again. Regardless, we will be playing in December.

My preference is to be playing in January!!!!!!
