Talking about LA Tech because they keep bringing up everybody's scheduling and calling out unknowns. Also made it very clear that I believe you a strong team, but haven't done anything to clearly show you are head and shoulders above anyone else. Had you beaten either of the SEC schools I would certainly be on board. But you didn't and moral victories don't put trophies on the shelf. We're in the same boat with losing to NCState. Miami, Kent, and Cincy are all wins but over bad competition. Fortunately for us the CUSA East is mostly worse than the teams we've played. You don't have the luxury of that fact in the West. But feel free to feel slighted that I didn't bow down to your 1 point loss at an SEC bottom feeder that wasn't even the point of my previous post. Also, UTSA going in and thumping Baylor, despite Baylor being down, is and infinite amount of better than your close play to SC. But you want to toot your horn while stepping on theirs.

LA Tech did beat WKU. On the road. That's the best win by any team in CUSA so far in 2017. And Marshall will get their chance on Nov 11th, when WKU comes to town.

I don't even disagree with that. It's a one point win, or two, whatever it was, in a tossup game as I said. But it wasn't the kind of win that defines where your team is at. That's my whole point. No one knows where anyone is at this point. We didn't beat the best teams on our OOC schedules, except for UTSA, since Houston was cancelled. They haven't lost yet so we don't know where their ceiling is. All the rest of us have lost at least one game so we know we have a limit as to how good we can be. I should have said it like that in the beginning. I'm not against LaTech or it's fans. Just thought it was crazy to call UTSA out while sitting their with our seasons capped. Until a team loses a game, it is only on paper (opinion) how good they are.

If WKU doesn't win another game and Cincy or Baylor runs roughshod over the rest of their schedules would you still believe beating WKU in a close game was the best win in the conference?

No worries. You and your Marshall boys are going find out on Nov 11th just how good that WKU win was.

And I already told you in this thread that the way UAB played UNT, you should be worried about them. Let me guess UAB has the best win in CUSA, now? I think perhaps UNT had the best win all along, especially if USM beats UTSA. Bet they wish they could replay SMU.
