I'd have to agree. I don't know how the Owls got lost going from Houston to New Orleans, but they sure did. You'd think it'd be easy to follow I-10 east across southern Louisiana.

That's was UH's worst game of the season? I'd think a mere 20 point win over a 3-8 I-AA from a conference that has never won a I-AA playoff game would deemed even worse.
Houston won CUSA west and won the conference title game. They were the class of the league. They won by 1 over Rice who got routed by the Sun Belt champion and lost to the Sun Belt's fifth best team.
Not touting that as a banner win but if you think there is some vast difference between the level of play in the Sun Belt and CUSA you are deluded. Sun Belt came out 4-3 against CUSA last year.

The ride over is easy. The hard part is staying sober once you get to southern Louisiana.

Did I say there was a vast chasm between C-USA and Sun Belt? No. I don't think there is huge talent gap between ANY of the 5 non-BCS conferences. You have to be deluded yourself if you think ULaLa's victory over UH was anything more than a fluke.
There is so much parity in C-USA that almost anyone can get a win over another team any given day (especially in the C-USA West last year).
We all know quite well that Rice got routed in New Orleans by Troy. No one is demeaning that victory. Now get your undies out of a bunch.

This is all nice and good but Sun Belt is 0-2 against CUSA so far this year. And once in at a Sun Belt home and once at a CUSA Home.
And regarding your questions about Houston, you failed to mention that they beat us by a couple of touchdowns and we made you look like a JV highschool team 55-9. Familiar with the statement "Any Given Sunday" same applies to Saturdays.

They missed the exit in Baton Rouge, continued on I-12, and headed right on into Mississippi.
