JohnDeere 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 uh link "The Cougars return the nucleus of last season’s championshipsquad, welcoming back 51 lettermen and 17 starters that finished 10- 4 overall and 7-1 in winning the West Division. On offense, Houston has three of its five offensive linemen coming back as well as its No. 1 running back, No. 1 tight end and its No. 2 and 3 wide receivers. On the other side of the ball, eight starting defenders return with loads of depth lined up behind the starting 11." Having a stout Conference USA team scheduled for homecoming is not good? Saban should know. UH Record 2-2 Sat. Sep. 1 at Oregon 27-48 L Oregon is a GOOD team Sat. Sep. 15 at Tulane 34-10 W Sat. Sep. 22 Colorado State 38-27 W Sat. Sep. 29 East Carolina 35-37 L Should have won, missed 3 FGs We will see "how good" that Tide defense is.

FootballFanatic 4 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Looking at some of those numbers and using really silly math points scored uat + points allowed UH /2 30 Points scored UH + Points allowed UAT /2 27 I say the prediction will be Uat wins by 3. 30-27 Realism puts the score around 21 - 17 UAT.

WAR-MATT 2 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Why are there more posts about Bama-Houston than Auburn-Vandy? I think Vandy has as good a chance of upsetting us as Houston does of upsetting Bama... A better chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeere 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Why are there more posts about Bama-Houston than Auburn-Vandy? I think Vandy has as good a chance of upsetting us as Houston does of upsetting Bama... Why do people slow down to look at wrecks in the opposite lane of the interstate? Why don't you go to your local barber shop to talk football or talk to your mailman, instead of complaining what is posted in the RIVALS forum? If you want to talk about Vandy, dig up some stats/stories on Vandy and post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would LOVE to talk Auburn football w/ my barber or mailman, but up here in Virginia, the SEC football talk is a touch scarce, so I'm thankful to have AUNation to talk to other Tiger fans. I tried to start a Vandy thread yesterday. Didn't get any replies. But then when I see several threads on Bama-Houston, I just think it is weird.

What will be the fallout from the big money Tide Priders after Saban drops homecoming? They are already fuming after the money they spent traveling to Jacksonville to see a loss to an 'inferior' team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsixfive 328 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 For the sake of conversation, what will be the 'fallout' if they do lose? Around $333,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the sake of conversation, what will be the 'fallout' if they do lose? I think it would be similar to what happened at LSU when Saban lost to UAB. You really need to win games like this one. Yes, UGA and FSU had more talent than us, but UH does not. I'd be pretty upset if we lost to UH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballFanatic 4 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Doing a quick comparison of the Cougars offense stats versus alabama's defensive stats shows large lean to the cougars taking every category as a better statistic. Doing a comparison of the tide offense against the cougar defense shows a slight edge to the cougars in 7 bama/8 houston in the stats compare. Do a head to head on the stats page for Foxsports. Its a neat little tool. It rarely means much but in this case. I think Houston has a decent shot at playing Homecoming upset. Saban better be drilling his defense.
