Game Week: Around the Belt

Game Week: Around the Belt

It was a good game for the Raiders - they played some good defense & did earn that W.

And will agree will KAjaRaider - any OOC win by the belt is a good win for the belt.  Every win is another step to earning the respect we all want as a conference.

SBC teams winning non conference games is a trend which i believe will continue for the rest of the year, and it means even more when those teams which are beat are from BCS conferences. I hope FAU gets one of those BCS wins!!!

Thanks guys (except for the poster who said "is Maryland that sorry"). If our own conference mates downplay the BCS wins, then how are we to get the respect nationally?

We earned the win. Maryland didn't "give" us anything, esp. with the "sorry" ACC refs.

Again, thanks to the Owl fans who have offered congratulatory messages on our board and elsewhere. When you guys beat a BCS team or two this season (and you will) it will  not be because the other team is "sorry", it will be because FAU is that good.


Lighten up Francis… :)

Maryland is sorry…they are ranked 99/119 teams…

But congrats on the "w"…

lol thats true, Maryland isn't that good of a team but to be truthfully honest nobody thought the MUTS would win despite Maryland being so bad. So in the end a win is a win is a win.

Re: Game Week: Around the Belt

Of course Maryland isn't a very good team….but that doesn't really matter.  They are still a BCS conference team and that's what counts.  It's the type of team SBC teams have not been beating in the past and now we are.  When I saw Maryland struggle to beat Delaware in week 1, I knew that MTSU could beat them, especially at home.  Bottom tier BCS teams like Maryland are the types of teams SBC teams should be competing with on a regular basis.  It isn't fair to think our teams can go into places like LSU, UF, or Texas and compete or win just yet, but playing Maryland, or Minnesota, or similar teams at home is another story.  The more of those wins we all get, the better off we all are as a conference.

Except when you go 6-6, do not win your conference, and have that as one of your OOC wins…AND:

Then get denied as a Bowl Participant…

I think thats in play here?

Hopefully the new bowl agreementes will take care of this problem.

Re: Game Week: Around the Belt

Middle will be a team to be reckoned with for us in a few weeks. They looked good against Troy in the opener but just couldn't finish…I sure hope FAU is firing on all cylinders when we head to Murfeesboro because they're no joke.

Lets not piss on their parade. When we beat Minnesota last year people were carrying on about FAU beating a BIG10 school. Then Minnesota went on to completely stink it up. I can guarantee that Maryland will have more wins this year than Minnesota did last year. Oh yeah, I also picked MTSU over Maryland in the pick 'em.

Great win MTSU. Here's hoping you lose once you resume conference play.

GO OWLS!!!

Re: Game Week: Around the Belt

Yes I agree any win by a SBC school over a BCS conference school good or bad is still good for the SBC. Like someone mentioned it helps us gain notoriety. Everyone talks about the WAC and CUSA if the SBC keeps beating BCS schools then we will gain more publicity as conference and maybe get more games televised. Congrats to MTSU on beating Maryland

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!
