I'm fine with the attention that stAte receives.

I wouldn't trade the past three championships for more attention.

Obviously some of you aren't

None of them would trade the last three championships for more attention.

Would you rather win a conference championship, or have more attention, despite finishing second?

That's almost as many rings as stAte has in three years.

Good job!

So what is it that stAte is doing wrong? What will you have to do to not be perceived as 2nd? Why does nobody notice y'all? Serious question? Y'all have had dynamic coaches also so why would you not get the attention that we are getting?
Probably market, not having a major sports city nearby, and a state sports media that is just a marketing arm for another school.

We are a pimple on louisianas butt when it comes to market share

Yes, but real sports journalists do hang around New Orleans from time to time. Real sports journalists are much rarer birds in the 200 miles around Jonesboro.

Yes they do, with tiggah hats and tiggah shirts and tiggah bait carrying a bunch of extra Al's in their pocket. Maybe our bowl wins are holding more weight than some would like to give credit for. What else would it be? Hud's bench press?

Not diminishing the bowl wins whatsoever. A couple of them were high quality wins (sorry Tulane). Bowl records last forever too.

But national journalists are more familiar with UL because of time in New Orleans. Its easier for them to comment. Whereas none of them know much about A-State beyond Gus and Hugh.

In any event, it is what it is and I wouldn't trade either. Maybe I'm old fashioned but there is nothing like the conference championship.

I would rather win bowl games, win a conference championship in football, host supers in baseball, win regular and tournament titles, softball win both titles and go to WCWS, basketball win tournament and go to NCAA. I enjoy the hell out of where we are and wouldn't switch places with you. Our perception is winning all around, no matter how loud you scream about your extra head to head victory and extra football championships. If this dumb arse league had a tie breaker, you wouldn't have that 3rd title.

People can judge for themselves where any "screaming" is coming from.

We have three in a row under three coaching changes and 2 out of 3 bowls. This fits with my goals. I'm good with it. What you think of it isn't that big of a deal.

My goodness. Maybe I'm being a homer, but I just don't see how ULL even has a chance in this game. I believe only stAte can beat stAte at this point.

We aren't the ones saying but what about us? We are the class? We are the cream? What about us espn? I'm satisfied with where we are as an athletic program. I wouldn't trade our year round success for a couple more wins in football. I'm happy year round, not constantly waiting for football season and dreading the others.

You are exactly right. I am not expecting the Cajuns to win, even though we will be at home. We are just not the same team we have seen the past 3 years even though the core group who have made us so successful are still there.

I am expecting a 10-14 point win by stAte. That still will not change who The Class of the Sun Belt is.

An stAte win would go a long way in the determining who the Class of Sun Belt football is, though.

A ULL win leaves the question up for debate.

I'll take the attention all day every day. Look at Notre Dame, they are relevant on the national scene once or twice a decade, yet they are talked about and kept relevant every year by media. I would rather be relevant and known than an unknown.

We have a trophy right now that says sunbelt conference football champion and last time I saw we took the field against stAte, we bent you over, pulled your hair and made you like it. We ran the same play 13 times in a row. So you tell me, do you like claiming co championships with the team that beat the crap out of you on the field?
