Birmingham Bowl, Deacs vs. Memphis Tigers

You would think there would be better defense just from the simple fact that 1) you have three weeks to game plan and 2) you team gets healthier (Glenn and Masterson come to mind).

Yeah. The reason I copied Pilchard's post was in response to the O/U which I think is high. I would take the under, with the assumption that what we saw against Duke (and State), we will see against Memphis.
 
Vegas did not catch up to the fact that WF slowed tempo at the end of the season and that WF defense improved. WF went way under the total in 3 of its last 4 games. The one that did not, the total was 61.5, and WF held Duke to 7 points.

That said this is the total number of points scored in Memphis' games this year:

80
43
91
87
64
69
61
98
100
68
46
83
97

An average of 76 per game, and 7 games over 73 and 6 games under that total.

So, 73 is a low total for a Memphis game.

Weather will be a big factor in this. Memphis was awful in the 2nd half of the first UCF game when it began to monsoon, and they have been bad the last couple of years in very cold and/or wet weather. I think they lost the Navy game this year in heavy rain as well. So it will be interesting to see what the forecasts start to look like about 10 days out.
 
Just saw this on twitter:

Just booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn. Cost me $162.00 per night with breakfast. They charge $12.00 per night to park your car. Why does Wake choose thugs/hoodlums/thieves/robbers like these for our team hotels??
 
The Official hotel is a Hilton Garden Inn ? Those only usually have about 100 rooms to begin with. What kind of shitty bowl is this anyway ?

I'm not sure I even understand your complaint. Are you complaining that the rate is too high or that overnight parking at $12 is a ripoff ? Or that the hotel is run by a street gang ?

Good point, The Mansfield dam and Tom Miller Dam are what breaks off the Colorado river into Lake Austin.

Technically all man made lakes are reservoirs, but that is really splitting hairs at some point.

Unless your driving down just Uber man, so much easier.
 
Radisson operates a Country Inn and Suites just 13 miles from Legion Field. Tough to beat $85 a night with free parking/breakfast
