At his point, the only loss that was a maybe-win was Troy. We are 1-3. The best to be expected was 2-2. Its not like we've lost 3 games that we were expected to win.

When you are a 20-point underdog like we were against Vandy, you have a 6.8% chance of winning, based on historical scores. We were something like a 29-point underdog against LSU, and about 4-5 to Troy. Hopefully, the line will work out in our favor this week, as we are favored by 4.0 to 5.0 (depending on the house).......we opened up a 7 point favorite, but it has dropped since then, probably because of Nelson's up in the air status.

I'm not saying we will or won't go to a bowl game...but the fact is, we're undefeated in games in which we were favored. So if one predicted us to go bowling before (especially if the prediction came after Troy), nothing has happened that really should change that opinion very much.
If we lose to FAU, THAT changes things

Harry Palm shouldn't be mocked...he had us and VCU in the tournament in 2011 when Bilas and Vitale cried.

Is calling him Harry a form of mockery?

Why the fracking Hawaii Bowl, great for the players, sucks for the fans. I would actually like to be able to see IN PERSON a UAB Bowl game in my lifetime.

Are you familiar with the old aphorism about beggars and choosers?
