Sorry about the lack of posts, took a long weekend away from the computer.

Thank you for voting in the Week 9 thread. UAB received 21 votes, UTSA received 4 votes. UAB is now 8-1 on the season. The rest is copied and pasted from the previous thread but formatted to reflect Southern Miss. Please let me know if there's any other information you'd like to see in future weeks posts. I'll typically post the next game between 10am-noon CT the following day.

This is an offseason topic I've seen done elsewhere and really enjoyed so I thought I'd bring it here. Each day I'll post UAB's matchup with some information pertaining to the game, and you aselect who you think will win. If you'd like to play bonus, add your predictions for the following questions:

I have us at two losses. USM will be improved but so will we. Don’t expect another mud stomp. Andre Wilson with three TDS.

USM = 28

If UAB starts the season 8-1 then you really might not be that far off.

I voted for Southern Miss because I don't see them being this perfect for the full season. We need to sprinkle some losses in here.

Why? You might have been goobling out "wargle!" on the plains and missed it, but UAB won eight games last year and gave at least two more wins away. With a full year of Clarkism I expect 15 wins. And Fire Ray Watts.

UAB 14
USM 12

I Hate SOuthern Miss!
Now that’s been established....
UAB 31
SM 21
We will win this rivalry game.
Attendance 24,742

Fair enough. I don't disagree that they should have won another game or two last season, but they could have also lost an extra game or two.
