SMU is 0-2 in the last 2 road games and have giving up a ton of points on the road.
I think UC will be win by 2 scores.
That's true, we lost to Houston and Memphis on the road. But we dominated TCU on the road. We'll see. We should be able to do as well or better than Tulsa.
LMAO.... how can you make that assine statement.....on the road means you must travel at least 20 miles.....

Amon Carter is more than 30 miles away. And it is definitely a road trip. They blew off our game at home during the Covid year when they wouldn't go OOC. We have beaten them the last two times now at Amon Carter.

Wow 30+ miles! Did the team fly? Did you have to stop for gas during the drive.

Bolded, good point. I'm just not sure how healthy our defenders are at the moment, and that information will not be readily available to us as fans before kickoff. Let's hope that one extra day between games helps.
With that said, almost always, UC is a different team in a sold out Nippert as our home winning streak would attest to. This will be our Senior Day and the AAC Championship slot can be clinched. Whenever SMU's offense operates within 30 yards of that south end zone the crowd noise level is the nation's best. Better than anything they've encountered in their past two seasons I suspect.
It won't be one for the faint of heart but I'm 95% certain UC prevails:
UC 45
SMU 37

I was disapponted with the Tulsa game. The 12th man advantage of Nippert had no affect.

Tulsa really should have won that game. 4 downs from the 2 yard line and they didn't score.

it seems like us UC people consider Miami of Ohio a road game - how far's that? granted, most of the fans that show up are probably UC fans, but that's generally considered a road game

It's a "road game" in that we don't get the money. But the place is basically Nippert North when we play there.

SMU lost their last two road games and has been better at home. UC has been awesome at Nippert for a long time.
Does it matter on Saturday? Yes, in the context that teams usually play better at home and it’s a home game for UC.

Is there a history with SMUstang that I am not aware of?
It seems like he is being respectful and isn't trying to provoke anyone, and yet he is being met with smart-assery by some.

To be fair, they would've needed that TD, a 2point conversion, to not have us score in regulation, THEN to beat us in overtime. To say they "should've won" is a bit disingenuous.

It's all seemed pretty good natured. Cincybro joked about TCU being a road game 20 miles away offering a ":cheers:". I don't really try to make sense of whether Doss is serious or not. Dave108 observed that Miami is considered a road game for us and I made a joke at Miami's expense about how that place has become Nippert North.
I don't think there are any hard feelings toward SMUstang.

Cool.
I am trying to be less smart-assery myself, so maybe I'm focusing too much.

If we beat Cincinnati, I'll be the biggest fan ECU ever had. I want another shot at Houston.

The defense has regressed and now is pretty dinged up. I’ll be shocked if we don’t give up 35+
