American Athletic Record Week 1

[Drew]

4-5 (assuming Louisville takes care of business today) including 2 losses to FCS teams. Not exactly what the league had hoped for but still some solid showings, especially by Cincy and UCF. Temple was a lot closer than the score indicates in that ND game and same goes with SMU. I think things will pick up for the conference the longer it goes on.

Assuming Louisville wins not a lot of surprises. A little surprising that UConn and USF actually lost but the teams generally lined up like you'd expect.

Maybe Temple wasn't quite as bad but really they never threatened in that game.

Houston may have found their QB of the future, they had a true Freshmen throw 3 TD passes. UCF and Cincy will give Louisville a run for their money, gotta root for somebody other than Louisville or Rutgers to win the league.

I enjoyed seeing Boise get plastered.

Why metsfan? just because they decided not to join us?

Nice to see ESPN trying to put the AAC's best foot forward by putting Louisville on Sunday. They could have buried them in the heat of the big Saturday games. One week at a time baby!! Next week:

Cincy @ Illinois ESPN2/ESPNU Sat, noon

Houston @ Temple ESPN regional Sat, noon

USF @ Mich. ST. ESPN2/ESPNU Sat, noon

Everyone else that's playing is either on CBS sportsnet or ESPN3

Go Bulls!! Go Cats!!

I can't believe our tier3 rights go to espn3, can someone explain to me how this happened? I don't want to hear, "because Aresco is an idiot." I know that. But how do we throw away a decent payday in favor of this $2m per year bulls hit

USF will put up more of a fight at MSU than expected. Cincy will easily handle Illinois.

Houston and Temple should be an interesting matchup. I'd assume Houston is about a TD favorite.

 

[john2153]

MSU's offense might be worse than last season which saying something. USF can hang around, they certainly can't play worse than they did on Saturday.

Still weird seeing Houston @ Temple as a conference game.

ESPN ALWAYS had the Big East tier 3 rights.
