Is West Virginia a directional state?

UTEP (Texas Western)
ULL (Southwest Louisiana?)
ULM (Northwest Louisiana?)
Texas State (Southwest Texas Teachers' College?)

Oh, and I suppose Southern Methodist. :)

Memphis used to be West Tennessee State University.

Maybe you missed this part:

"... Then again, East Carolina is not your normal directional school, and North Carolina is not your standard underachieving state school with all of the resources and none of the know-how.

And I know that you went by this part:

"... The Misery Index knew there were problems with this Syracuse team from the get-go when it needed some semi-miraculous happenings just to escape the season opener with a double-overtime victory over Villanova."

I think when you translate that it means that Sorryexcuse sucks.

or it means that Syracuse is getting 20 mill a year

no but seriously this is the first time i've ever seen an ECU fan acknowledge an article that has the directional school tag.

East Carolina is not actually a directional school in the way that you think. ECU is actually the University of North Carolina-Greenville campus. And North Carolina State is actually the University of North Carolina-Raleigh campus.

There may be nothing more idiotic than conversations about "directional schools".

Don't tell them that even though you're kidding.

UNC fans are bad enough at it.

Seriously though, arent they all part of the same system. Seems like they tried to change app state to unc-boone at one time and the app folks freaked out.

All of the North Carolina universities that you have heard of, and a handful ypu probably haven't, are all part of the same university system. I imagine other states have similar setups but I'm not positive.

i've heard this talking point and the "we are east not eastern so it doesn't count" talking point 1000 times. not taking a side here and questioning whether those talking points are legitimate or not, i've just never seen an ECU fan reference an article that calls ECU directional without going on a rant about how dumb that sportswriter is.

for the sake of brevity, you and the sportswriter can refer to ECU as the "team that will have a better ACC record than Syracuse, is ranked and doesnt play in a dome that smells like garbage, urine and stinky feet"

It is amazing that we get called out for complaing about the directional references...and then when we don't, we still get called out. How,exactly, is it that you want ECU fans to react??? What is the right way for you? When a portion of the fanbase adapts, is that a no-no? To be honest, this is calling out something that really didn't need to be called out...other than to

Just stop it, "central" is not a direction. East, North, West, and South are.

To any reasonably objective observer, you sir are the one with the bleeding anus. Coming to an AAC board to describe Syracuse $20 million a year payday in exchange for being one of the laughing stocks of the so called P-5 conferences.

LOL, if not by technicality, for all intents and purposes, central is a direction especially in this context.

This coming from a UConn Fan?

Jasper Howard is so proud of you.

Fact is when you bring in 30k fans in for a hoops game there is always a few thugs...throw out a Midnight Madness, with a RAP artist and free admission and a stabbing happened...so what. Fans of Memphis and UConn have no ground to stand on here.
