Biggest Surprise at this point of the season: Dead heat between North Texas and UAB, for me, I got my eyes on them Runners at UTSA, also, "Beep-Beep!"..

. Biggest Disappointment: And it's not intended as a slight, I really expected Old Dominion to have a better season than they've had but, the "injury bug" appears to have bitten them pretty good at certain positions. And UTEP , I never envisioned the type of season they're having. Keeping a good thought for you, Conference USA! #ItsOnlyHalftime

Charlotte being utterly uncompetitive with a loss to an FCS school has been a disappointment. 0-7 and outscored 231-91. Yikes.

Of course I said that and they beat us last year so I'm sure they probably will again now, lol.

Surprises: UAB's competitiveness, UNT, FAU's potent run attack, Marshall's fast return to relevance
Disappointments: UTEP, Charlotte, to a large degree - Rice, not being competitive, ODU taking a step back, WKU not being dominant.

Biggest disappointment: MT's injuries. Biggest surprise: UAB's success so far.

I'm not shocked by UAB, they have a great coach and had well over a year to work on getting their system down. They will be competing for a championship before long. I really hope the fans keep coming out for them, that's great to see.

UNT is the big surprise to me right now. They are a good football team. The UNT-FAU game is the game of the week.

Big disappointment is Rice and UTEP showing no signs of life.

I don’t understand how we are a disappointment if almost everyone on this board picked us to finish either 13th or last.

Charlotte this season is awful. We'll do whatever it takes for a change in leadership.. Praying, Witchcraft, cheating like Chapel Hill. Whatever works!

I'm truly sorry, I hope they turn things around, but not on 10/21....Did you say, "Witchcraft?"

That was a hell of a battle our teams waged this past Saturday. MT always brings a good crowd and energy to road games, especially in Birmingham. I hope everyone made it back home safe and sound, our conference officials are a pile of

Fair question...
I never picked UTEP to finish last, I thought they'd compete and contend... I sure as hell didn't see North Texas coming. It always concerns me when a coach resigns before the middle of the season, which is what Sean Kugler did. Did he lose the locker room?

Biggest Surprise: The North Texas Offense- Yes, I thought they would be good this season, but no one thought they would be this good. We could finish with the 1st team All-Conference QB (Mason Fine), RB (Jeffery Wilson), and WR (Jalen Guyton). All three lead the conference in yardage at their respective positions, and are ranked in the top 20 in the nation. Incredible.

Biggest Disappointment: Middle Tennessee- I really thought they had a shot at running the table this season. Injuries are a terrible part of the game. I didn't realize depth was such an issue in their program.

For me, ODU's down season is only a mild surprise. I expected them to have a down season. I even argued with some of their fans last season about it. They thought I was just being a homer, and even seemed to develop a dislike for North Texas because of it. I wonder if they are still confident about their trip to UNT in a few weeks?

We're disappointed that UTEP isn't proving us wrong in our predictions.

What team in this league could overcome the loss of so many 1s in the first half of the season? Even if we hadn't had all the injuries I'm not sure it would have mattered if the single injury was the QB. We definitely have a depth issue there.

My biggest disappointment is Charlotte, specifically Klugh and the offensive line play.
This team shouldn't be this bad, but now I think it's a win to complete a pass.

"Three If" did you make it to Legion Field Saturday? Myself and another gentleman (older guy with a custom made sign) came over to the MT side of the stadium at halftime for a little meet and greet.

Negative. Because I live in the DC/B'more area now I only make it to a couple of games a year. Hope you guys had fun. Maybe I can get down there for the next one in two years.

Don't worry, we still don't care about North Texas

Oh good to know! Hope you enjoy your butt whooping in a couple weeks. I wonder how well the top defensive line in the conference will fare against us.

That's a nice attempt at trash talk, but our fanbase realizes our only wins left are 1 between Rice and Charlotte, and neither of them is a guarantee. I hope you enjoy your free win.

You sound like a North Texas fan. There's always next season
