[Quote]RIP…

UTEP and Charlotte, basketball season is coming soon ya’ll… On a side note, this would be a close and fun game if they matched up right?[/quote]

Ditto at Underdog Dynasty.

[Quote]14. Charlotte (0-4, LW: #13)

I guess Brad Lambert bought himself no goodwill last year as Charlotte fans are demanding for a new head coach after a 28-0 home loss to Georgia State. The 49ers have scored only 14 points in three games against FBS competition this season.[/quote]

Time for major total changes. >:(

I hope the AD is ignoring the emails and out searching for a new coach. Better yet, maybe she is searching for cheap land down on the Florida Keys for her retirement this year.

Ed Miller once again lists co-number 2s (UTSA and LA Tech) instead of naming an outright first place team.

No surprise who is in last!

[Quote]9. FIU (2-1, 1-0): Don’t look now but with Charlotte on the schedule this week, Butch Davis’s bunch will likely go to 3-1, and 2-0 in the league.

14. Charlotte (0-4, 0-0): Non-conference play was not kind to the 49ers, with a 28-0 loss to previously-winless Georgia State the final insult. It prompted some changes on the offensive coaching staff heading into the C-USA opener at FIU.[/quote]

From Underdog Dynasty:

[Quote]Marshall is playing the best football in C-USA East right now

Despite the weekly attrition of players leaving the football team, Marshall continues to prove that 2016 was an aberration. Marshall beatdown Cincinnati 38-21 on the road to move to 3-1 on the season. Marshall led 24-0 at the half and played with the fire and swagger that we usually see from great Marshall teams.

The emergence of the offensive line has really been the difference compared to last year as the rushing attack has made marked improvement. C-USA East is ripe for the taking right now and Doc Holliday has fixed Marshall just in time for the Herd to be considered the favorite going forward.[/quote]
Underdogdynasty.com: Three things we learned from Conference USA in Week Five

Can we just start talking about basketball?

We need to be very clear when we discuss our football program. We are the worst football program in the nation. Not “one of the worst.” We are the absolute worst.

Agree. Sadly, I don’t think Judy and Phil give a rat’s ass. They just want to brag that they brought us football. Judy is now concentrating on her women’s sports and Phil is too busy kissing the ass of those in chapel hill.

Niners climb out of last place to #13 while our next foe Marshall comes in at #3 in latest from Underdog Dynasty.

Major reshuffling this week following losses by UTSA and LA Tech, etc. North Texas new #1 this week, followed by #2 Marshall and #3 Southern Miss.

Next Niner foe WKU comes in at #9. Hilltoppers dropped two spots after ekeing out victory over winless UTEP.

[Quote]13. Charlotte (0-6, 0-2, LW: #13)
After making so much progress on offense against FIU, the 49ers were shutdown by the Herd. Charlotte isn’t the first school to be outnumbered by Marshall fans in their own stadium and they won’t be the last, but it’s concerning nonetheless that Charlotte fans have appeared to checkout halfway through the season.[/quote]

Goddamit! I’m sick and tired of these lies about being outnumbered by visiting fans. It’s bullshit and these writers need to be called on it. Maybe by our AD? What a thought. Damn them! Damn them all!

Believe it or not, we have someone at the school responsible for media relations. I assume you also realize some of these writers get their info on teams from the team’s hometown paper.

Then damn the o as well. Once again.

Also, “the weather was not exactly ideal” implying that Marshal being held to 14 had something to do with the (non existent) rain. Idiot!

Minerrush.com: Conference USA Football Power Rankings Week 7

“The South Florida twins are the only teams in C-USA East with a conference win. WKU is 0-1 and no longer appears to be the juggernaut we’re accustomed to seeing. MTSU is 0-1 and dealing with injuries to their star players and Charlotte, is well Charlotte.”

We don’t even merit a sentence in their CUSA East analysis, truly sad.
