ODU has been able to lay claim to an overall win streak against the Dawgs last year. They have certainly gotten their money out of it through this board. I am letting them get their trash talk out while they can still claim "Scoreboard". Those are the rules, but...If we win or even win by a wide margin. I will be unbearable for a few days! Fair warning!

I'm good with that Pilot, and frankly am already anticipating the onslaught from you because of what you have just said. Tech should be a strong favorite at home tomorrow.
Tech to this point has been better than anticipated and ODU has had several things that have happened with personnel since last spring that has made them to be less than anticipated. We certainly haven't given up on this season though.

Fair enough Pilot. I've already got a few prime excuses polished up and ready to go.

We played OK in the other three (St. Joe's, VCU, GSU), just not good enough. I think having Stith in the lineup may have been good for possibly 3 or 4 more wins. We're very thin up front even with Stith.
Feeling good about our chances on Thursday. Should be a good game. (The next five are huge for the Monarchs).
And depending on how things shake out, the 6th game (vs Marshall) could be very important as well.
Absolutely. Not disparaging any other teams (and Lord knows the road trips in this conference can be brutal.) We would still have another go round with WKU, and UTEP coming to town. But on paper, we would be in good shape if we can get through the next 5 unscathed. (We only have one Texas trip to make this year, and that's at the very end.)

Fair enough Pilot. If you are referring to my signature, I actually had one particular fan in mind. But if it helps further spark a conference rivalry, so be it.

Einstein can pencil in 2 straight CUSA Regular Season Championships; and New Orleans and Heart of Dallas Bowls champs. Take the ODU losses everyday of the week and Tech will keep the Championships

That's pretty good BB35. I had to turn my digs on to see it.

I said that last year, before ODU lost conference road games, and the ODU moderator proceeded to "eviscerated me with is data" I wonder how he would explain the 0-6 record on the road this year and undefeated at home?
"We are talking football here not basketball.
In college basketball, home court is a statistically proven decisive advantage way more than any other sport played. Just look how ODU won at home but performed miserably on the road."
I provided data to refute your assertion, and you proceeded to modify your stance and then moved to your normal trolling when you had nothing left. Poor, poor, troll.
I used data and logic to eviscerate you on your false assertion. I'll leave it anyone who cares to read the thread to judge for themselves. However, this is what it looked like...
And your use of ODU's BB road woes the past two years here and in that thread to extrapolate to the conclusion that "In college basketball, home court is a statistically proven decisive advantage way more than any other sport played" is akin to some idiot trying to defend or refute global warming based upon a snap of unseasonable weather in their area where they live. ODU Men's BB stinking on the road has minimal bearing on the remaining 300+ teams and how they perform on the road, particularly compared to other collegiate sports.
I think Tech wins tomorrow and ODU's road issues continue, but hoping for a high-quality game that showcases the "good" in CUSA basketball.

Hopefully things don't go the other way for us and then we get to listen to even more from the ODU fans...

It won't matter. We'll make it seem like we won even if we don't.
As long as its in good taste. I am all about smack talk among conference mates. If this game means something to ODU then it means something to Tech. Gonna be a long night for somebody tonight in the TAC.
But if it helps further spark a conference rivalry, so be it.
Now that's funny. 
I feel a lot of love in this room.
