After the one loss to MT in that 8 year stretch, 2018, they replaced their old coach Sanford with the current one.
 
We bounce back and shock even Rick. 35-31 good guys win.

That’s what my heart says but my mind says we lose 45-24 and I’m going with that one.

I swear coaches and players read these boards. So I don't want to give my opinion. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I want the game plan to be as big of a surprise as it can be. I know exactly what Stock is going to want to do here.

I'll write it up a minute before kick off.
 
I have lots of thoughts of how messed up Stock's contract is. I believe it should be really incentive laden and I think this game should be part of those incentives.

It always seems that this coach always loses one he's supposed to win, and wins one he's not supposed to. Well MT just lost one they were precicted by Vegas to win. I suppose MT could make this the one they win they're not suppose to, but even a bad wku coach should win this one against a stockstill coached team.

I said at beginning of season I think we split WKU/Liberty. I'm still holding to that, with WKU being the loss. I said on Twitter we'd come out of October 3-5.
 
Picking Liberty to go 11-1 this year. Looking like CUSA's most impressive team. I dread that road trip for our group.
 
Liberty is good, but they haven't played anyone, and really won't.

Played Strength of Schedule
MT 8
LU 133
WKU 5

Remaining SoS
MT 121
LU 131
WKU 124

Highest FPI Win
MT none - Mizzou 40 CSU 108. Both should've been wins
LU - 116 Bowling Green
WKU - USF 101. Troy loss was 86.

Now that we are hitting conference play, NMSU is the only one with a schedule strength higher than 90, and that's only because they have Auburn left. We are 100% in the weakest conference and honestly about all evenly matched.

No way I'm wasting my time watching this, but curious. Did he say this is just another game/next game on the schedule?

I didn't bother to watch the whole thing, I tend to tune these things out pretty quickly, I could blame ADHD, but I think it's the subject matter.
