Since we've dominated and Huggs is gone, I can't work up as much real bile. Mick is goofy but only mildly irritating to me. It will never be just another game on the schedule, but this season we have much bigger fish to fry, it's diverting my usual emotional focus.

I'm hoping we win easy and continue marshaling strength for the BE sched.

I think it's because Huggins is actually a good coach, and Cronin is well.. an idiot.

I too have a bad feeling about this game, because UC has nothing to lose. The shootout has a history of the mid-major team upsetting the higher ranked squad.

Of course, I felt the same way about Dayton.

At this point in the season, they have just as much to lose as we do. This is a big OOC game for both teams, looking to add a big win to their resume.

In fact, I would argue that UC has more to lose in this game, as they do not have as many opportunities for big wins in the AAC.

I don't know....just feels like a trap game between WSU and Auburn.

X is 7-0 when ranked in the AP top 25 as cited by XU'11.

How is UC a "trap" game? A trap game is typically a game you overlook while looking ahead to a bigger game. You really think the team is looking ahead to Auburn?

Thanks, Markchal. I guess I forgot to use my sarcasm font again.
