UAB basically escaped the last two games before.. Russian Roulette?

UAB lost two close games and won two close games. The same coaches were working all four games and will continue for the rest of the season. For the rest of the season, opposing coaches will have more and more scouting reports on what UAB does in various situations making us less unpredictable unless we raise our game some more.

A lot of good coaches and their teams lost games this weekend by big deficit scores and UAB was not one of them. UAB has half the season left to play, and I hope we will do at least as well in the second half as in the first. We are still a new team learning to play as units, and some new recruits will likely replace some playing regularly this season. I expect we will be better in November than in September and even more improved in 2018 with new talents added in December and February.

I won't b***h about our parking at LF when theirs is pretty nonexistent other than far away from stadium & $20 to park in deck. Everyone was nice before & after the game. Well onto the game - they had nothing to lose & everything to gain & played that way. They made plays, we didn't. When they made mistakes they overcame them, we didn't. They had big plays, we didn't. They had their QB, we had no answer to contain him. When we managed to put some pressure on him, he just broke out into the open for a 10+ yd gain.

Parking SUCKED! It was a nice stadium.

We were finished to pick dead last in the country... we won some games that we were not expected to win and lost to a team WE SHOULD HAVE BEATEN but this team is still coming together. We are all frustrated - I get it but let's step away from the ledge and have a proper perspective.

Ever faithful... Ever loyal...

+1

+2.

Thought I was reading a Gump board for a minute.

Some of you act like these guys have been coaching and playing games for three years. It's year one. We lost. Get over it.

y'all might as well get ready and prepare yourself. Every C-USA game left is going to be very close and could go either way. Including UTEP/Rice. This team will be bowl eligible, so let's calm down.

Yep....... enjoy the ride.

I also think we keep it close at the swamp too. .

If every game could go either way & does all go one way, then how would we be bowl eligible?

Because 6-6 most definitely gets you bowling.

Nope. They'll take a 5-7 P5 or AAC team over us in a heartbeat. Regardless of our story.

Can't take a 5-7 team over a 6-6 team.

I thought every 6-6 team has to get picked ahead of a 5-7 team regardless of who the teams are?

Correct.

I'm not talking about a bowl until we get win #6.
