Our schedule stinks and all the teams we play are garbage. Just ask the experts.

It's not '84 now--back then, Utah was just Bosco DiddledMe Community College.

Umm … so beating "BYE" and Memphis is tougher than beating Houston and UConn?

It's their @Virginia that is worth more than our Home vs Virginia

billyrust

But I never agree with SOS not giving more credit to winning more games.

BamaCoug

9/23/14 10:22pm

No, not at all. Plenty to talk about. Pirates beating Atlanta again, etc.
