  • LA Tech is now-3 and the over/under is 53.5 and if it holds it will mean an underdog bonus points available with a UTEP win in the preseason picks.

  • yeah, power rankings show La Tech as better.   I assume that is just because they lost to better teams however.  Their only W is against SFA.  Not sure what to think about these guys.  They gave up a lot on the ground to S Alabama who might also kick our butts.

  • Sis, you have been saying we have to win one of the tough games.  LA Tech is ranked 100 and UTEP is 118.  This is the first one that we have a shot at taking home a win.  If we win this one, we might have a chance to break 100 the next week with a win.  I'll keep saying it.  We need to win every game!  The sands are continuing to shift, and we have no room to misstep.  Every win is a chance to tell others that we won't be an anchor around the neck of conference mates.  Right now, that means keeping MTU and WKO convinced that the MAC is not a good move for them even if it is rock solid.  Right now our best chance is to become a lean, strong, conference looking to just get stronger within.  The six that cusa lost can easily be passed within the confines of the new C-USA.  The OOC schedule is going to be the most important schedule we have had in like forever.  The brand spankin new C-USA needs to make a serious splash out of conference to gain some respectability.

    2023 we have UIW who beat Nevada this season. At Arizona and UNLV who is very good this year, at home. NMSU was supposed to be our 4th OOC game but they will now be a conference game. Speculation is that we will take one of their games off their hands since they have to accomodate 8 conference games. We could end up with one of Hawaii, San Diego St or Air Force or another school still listed on their schedule.

    2024 we only have 1 home OOC game vs Southern Utah and 3 road OOC at Colorado St, Nebraska and Tennessee. I hope they reschedule one of the P5 for a later date and bring on a 2nd home game vs a G5.
