WKU is still playing in front of 18,000 fans and clinging to their only Top 25 win in school history. Congrats on the win last year.

Which is I am sure more than a lot of schools cannot say in the G5 in our short 6 years in FBS to already have a road win vs. a Top 25 opponent....You failed to mention our first ranked win in FBS which is a very short history relatively speaking...

No comment on attendance, I am disappointed in last nights showing (but not surprised) and have no idea what its going to take to get people to games..What is even more disappointed is half the students left at halftime, just pathetic to me they cannot even stay for the entire game, we have zero football culture at WKU..I understand families with young kids like me not being able to go Thurs. night but the students really have no excuse and its looks bad for entire university....I thought after the success we have had last few seasons it would change, but if we cannot draw people this season, then we will never, it is what is and we all have our own attendance issues....

I hope we have a good crowd at IU as it does seem like WKU fans are more into road games then our own home games...Looking forward to meeting WKU fans next Saturday, now onto a relaxing weekend (only good thing about Thursday night games is relaxing on Sat. and watching everyone else sweat, haha)...

October schedule for WKU

@Rice

@UNT
@LSU
@ODU

Good luck to them being undefeated.

Maybe because there is more to do in BG than stoke the fire at the still and chase your cousin! 07-coffee3

Yep I don't know what we did to piss off CUSA and the scheduling computer or humans or whatever...Find me another FBS team with an October schedule like that, just brutal...I will be happy if we come out of that 3 and 2 and ecstatic if we are 4 and 1...

Yep, that's the stretch that I have looked at as most problematic.

I also believe FIU - with their defense - is a team that can get after Doughty and lock down receivers.

I've been to BG. Not THAT much to do, stop pretending to be in Miami or Charlotte.

I love it when people say silly things such as this. There is plenty to do in the Huntington area.

I'll take 18,000 on a Thursday night game. Like someone else said. Our football culture is lacking, big time. It will get better but we have only been fbs for 5 years longer than Charlotte. Let that sink in for a little while, and quit getting butthurt over the fact we ruined your chances in the access bowl (still wouldn't have gotten in with that schedule)

Yep I don't know how many times we can repeat no way Marshall gets spot over Boise even after going undefeated with that schedule they played last season...Lets all move on! Looking forward to rematch with Marshall, but we have a long way to go between now and then...Let it go Marshall!

I used to work for a company based in BG. They were located on Pedigo Way. Enjoyed my time there when down for sales meetings.

As long as we don't lose to the MUTS, I'm good.

I feel exactly the same way. We accomplished exactly what set out to do. Won the conference and won our bowl game.

If your goal is to win conference that's great, but only a select few have a real chance at the access bowl and we had that chance last year I believe have a shot this year. If we are good enough to make it then that is my goal. When I think we are no longer good enough to achieve that then I will settle for conference champs.

So when was the main event played today?

So, Birdshit sucks!!! And until we figure that out we might go 8-4 at best.

However, our guys have that one circled and they won't be embarrassed again. So while I know I will get killed for my Marshall prediction that is ok. I stand by it, and if I am wrong then so be it, ive been wrong before, or so my wife says.d

East
Marshall 12-0 (8-0) - There just isn't many chance to lose. If we lose every game that is a toss up that will be 1 loss. So I picked us to win.
WKU 9-3 (7-1)
FAU 6-6 (4-4)
MTSU 5-7 (3-5) Tough Schedule
FIU 3-9 (2-6) owns tiebreaker over ODU
ODU 4-8 (2-6)
Charlotte 1-11 (0-8) Enjoy that win over PC

West
Rice 9-3 (7-1)
LT 8-4 (6-2)
UTEP 6-6 (4-4)
So Miss 6-6 (4-4)
UTSA 3-9 (3-5) toughest overall schedule
No Texas 3-9 (3-5)

Without looking at the schedules very close I have been say that there would be a rematch of last years championship game, but after reviewing the schedules closer it will be a 2013 rematch and it will be played in Huntington like it should have been two years ago. Marshall beats Rice.

Bowl games
Peach Bowl - Marshall vs LSU (if Boise gets access Marshall would go to Miami vs ECU)
Miami Beach Bowl - WKU vs ECU (if Boise gets access WKU would go to St Pete vs UMass)
Heart of Dallas - Rice vs Kansas St
Arizona Bowl - LT vs Fresno St
New Mexico Bowl - UTEP vs Air Force
New Orleans Bowl - So Miss vs UL-Lafayette
St Petersburg Bowl - FAU vs UMass (if Boise gets access FAU would go to Bahamas vs WMU)
Bahamas Bowl - we don't fill this spot unless Boise gets access bowl, then FAU vs WMU.
