In fact, as I recall, only Florida State did it this past year out of 125 teams. I, too, want to see the schedule. My guess, if things stay the same, we will likely play UTSA at their place, and one of ODU/WKU away. Both, very dangerous games, imo.

ODU isn't ready to stop the best CUSA offense, but WKU and UTSA are probably trap games. Marshall should get FAU and MTSU at home though. Senior laden teams tend to play better on the road than young ones. Lot of green in between as they say about long putts in golf, but I wouldn't bet against Marshall going undefeated at this point.

And the final line-up for the East and West in 2014. Are you expecting Marshall to play in the Alamodome?

With the difficult OOC UTSA has I rather not play Marshall this year. I do not think its guaranteed that we will see Marshall in Dome just because we played them in Huntington last year

UTSA(6-2) east games vs Marshall and UAB.

Rice(7-1) east games vs FAU and UAB.


I would not mind waiting until the conference championship game to play Marshall.

That's not to say the West champ couldn't beat them, but Marshall is a clear favorite in the east and I think the west is more up for grabs. Which makes it more likely that Marshall will have a better conference record and more likely the to host the championship game.

With the players we add in the Spring and Fall we very well could go undefeated. These are players that to be honest have no business in CUSA. At least that is why the talking heads like to think.

Undefeated seems more likely now that our atrocious OOC schedule was finalized with FCS sub-par Rhode Island rounding it out. I'm not complaining because there's really nothing we could do about it, given Louisville's situation.

It was likely with Louisville on the schedule. They haven't beaten us in almost 30 years. Cato is a senior and for those that don't know about the guys sitting out right now they are all going to be big time additions.

We get two stud outside WRs in Angelo Jean-Louis and Deontay McManus, another good WR in Rodney Allen, two 200lb+ power backs in Tony Pittman and Brandon Byrd, a stud DE in Ricardo Williams, another potential stud DE in Jalen Stevenson (27 sacks in his jr year), under the radar LB/S in Raheim Huskey, a stud CB in Donaldven Manning, talent CB in Chocolate Wilson, and our 2014 recruiting class that is really starting to bring in some top flight talent as NSD draws near.

Why would you name your child Chocolate? Just why? Is that a nickname??

compared to other CUSA schools UTSA fans are like that, but that is probably because a requirement to have a lot of "look at me" fans is to actually have a lot of fans to start with.


there is some truth to your comment, but UTSA fans have been told every year for 3 years that we do not belong and we are going to fail. Charlotte fans should praise the Lord if their team has similar success to UTSA football.

No one in the east, or that was leaving the conference, kept us from winning it this year. 2-0 against the defectors.

Well considering we kicked your ass 59-28 (with 2nd stringers in for the 4th quarter) I think its pretty clear that Marshall would be the favorite in the East with or without ECU. We would be 2 touchdown favorites in your home stadium this year.
