Thanks for posting. Seems like a nice, level headed guy.

Now, let's beat his team!!!

Exactly what I thought — seems like a really likable guy, a good interview.

[Terry Webster]

He is very popular up here in Cinci.

With a team that good, I would think so!

Very nice person.
But, just who made the call to cancel the Tulsa game. Obviously it wasn't the head coach. Sounds like only a small number of players were positive. Wonder if it wasn't more of a discipline problem rather than a COVID problem. Any thoughts?

[mrydel]

The AAC makes the decision on cancellation. Contact tracking can knock out several players even if only one or a few actually test positive. I doubt there is a conspiracy theory here.

[Mexmustang]

Never thought of conspiracy, just something else. Thanks for the input on the conference.

If you have ESPN+, go watch their last game against USF.

I feel much better about our chances to win - especially at home. I think the teams are a lot closer in talent, but we have the overall edge in talent - assuming no other injury losses than what we already know.

Beating a top 10 to be bowl-eligible would be huge.

I'm really nervous about this game, but I sure hope you're right!
