Spread opens Wave 32.5 pts. > UCONN (Rotation nos. 173-174 for Vegas sheet)
http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-foo ... las-vegas/

O/U 56 pts.

UCONN, 1-4, 0-2 AAC, “body of work” to date:

1) 8/29 – UCONN 24, Wagner 17;
2) 9/7 – Illinois 31, UCONN 23;
3) 9/21 – Indiana 38, UCONN 3;
4) 9/28 – UCF 56, UCONN 21;
5) 10/5 – USF 48, UCONN 22.

Through October 5th, Sagarin now has the Wave ranked 47, UCONN 175 (AAC: UCF 23, Memphis 29, Cincy 30, SMU 37, Tulane 47, Houston 59, Navy 62, Tulsa 78 & Temple 81). https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/ Under Sagarin’s rating system playing at home we are a 33.56 pt. favorite over the Huskies.

And, this one should be a "Tulane Highlight Reel."
:D :thumbup: 8-)

I can't remember the last time the Wave was a 30+ pt. favorite over any FBS opponent, even a UCONN?

Boy have times changed and how I still remember "Buffet" Bob Toledo's last game as Tulane head coach on October 15, 2011 before resigning the next day after a bad UTEP team humiliated the Wave 44 to 7 at the Dome.

And rather obviously, Vegas is on to the Wave, too many people are laying the points and taking Tulane. so Vegas desperately needs some money on UCONN board member Scott Cowen's Huskies. :-D :lol: :clap:

Wasn't there a line for the Missouri State game? I think it was essentially the same as this. Also, I think FearTheWave said it on twitter, but you gotta feel for UCONN. They are essentially in the same place we were ~8-10 years ago. Totally apathetic fan base, blatantly anti-football administration, players/coaches have given up. Ooof, sounds familiar.

That being said, let's go hang 50 on em

Squilz, Missouri State is FCS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_ ... s_football

So, I still can't recall the last time we were a 35 point favorite over any FBS team, even against lowly UTEP back when we were still in CUSA?

From what I've seen on Twitter and the like, the largest favorite we've been prior to this was 30 points vs USL in 1998.

Amazing the difference 4 years and a competent coach makes.

Robert, I went to that game in 1998 at the Dome, as I am sure you did as well. And, we scored 72 points on USL that night,

I remember that game well. :D

I'll take another 72-20 game.

I was thinking about this yesterday. To put in perspective just how long of a dry spell we've had, I'm 60 years old. Not counting the 1998 season, the last time we started a season at least 4-1 was in 1979. I was the Hullabaloo sports editor that year. Forty freaking years. That's unreal.

Yep, it is not easy being a Wave fan. And, I've made it known many times on this forum for me not hiring Lindy Infante after Larry Smith left following the 1979 season is right up there with saying no to RichRod in 1998.

I remember sitting in my apartment in Mobile when I was listening to 870 AM and heard the news that Scelfo was hired as the head coach. Boy what a gut punch that was.

Mr Green Hair has chimed in with a few tweets to "congratulate" the program. Is there anything good in the world that this fool won't move in on & make worse?
Spiffy up your Winnabago's and have them Uptown by Wednesday.
