Game Week: Around the Belt
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.

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.

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!!!
