So that makes ME hateful? You're right, some things never change unlike your forum name. Last time I read this forum (before this thread), you were ULM fan "Shonuff." I had it figured out long before the moderators did. Why was "Dawgxas" banned? I have only read this thread, which has taken me a couple of weeks to find the time to do, but never read anything he wrote that broke any rules. Granted, his posts were not well received, but he never went so far as to misrepresent who he is or what school he supported. Did you lobby for his being banned? I'm quite sure you have lobbied to have me banned, but I don't know that to be true.

You are a techie so I hope you get banned. Not up to me or you would have been gone as soon as I saw who you rooted for. Full of love for you...Lol.

Thanks. I'm sure you are sincere in your "love for (me)." A SBC school is also an alma mater of mine. Naturally, my primary allegiance is to Louisiana Tech University as that is where I spent my college years and earned my first degree.
You had a choice and you picked tech. Lol....explains why you are so popular.

Not provide....sell. This has got to be a business decision. Create a streaming network. Stream every Sunbelt & CUSA (either in their current state or a merged version) game. Sell ala carte programming to ESPN or a regional network like FOX Sports. They love it because they get out from under contracts and can pick and choose the best match ups.

Then, let FCS teams buy time. It's streaming so there's virtually unlimited capacity. If Richmond/JMU wants to be on, they buy access. If North Dakota State wants every game available to their fans, they buy access. If it's successful and the MAC and Mountain West want in, they buy access. Basically free money to the originators.

Can't deny that some use the term Sun Belch. I don't think it is hatred, but may be. Let's just say I and Tech fans I personally speak with have no hatred toward the SBC or any of its members. Also, we don't call SBC member ULM "the Hoax" or "ULMost" ...........
Yeah, a very quick search of the @ruston fan board proves you are very wrong and totally delusional and /or completely lying.

Here are a just a few of the doozies used to refer to ulm:

"MeTooU"
"nlulm"
"Kentucky Fried Chickenhawks"
"Me too JUCO" ("they are a waste Louisiana taxpayer money.)
"the LaMoners"

Try again.

We also aren't conference brethren that made a deal with them in order to get our name changed. I said we don't call them "TheHoax" or "ULMost." Point being, you folks should be thankful to them for going along with you in the name change thing. They upheld their end of the bargain.

I thought you didn't lower yourself to read the Tech board. Since you cut and paste from it, bring your criticisms there. You were reinstated here so I'm sure you can be reinstated there. You have a lot of bad things to say about Tech. Be a man and quit doing it behind our backs, so to speak. Again, peace, man.

Louisiana @ Monroe has only recently "embraced" the ULM moniker. At least from an administration position. I'm sure many of the fans and alumni have yet to fully embrace it; which is their right. But many were right there at the beginning of the naming fiasco trying to lay claim to "Louisiana", even promoting "Louisiana' on their uniforms. I distinctly recall a football helmet with the Louisiana script and arrow. Probably more examples too. Granted the Cajuns have been more persistent in pursuing the Louisiana moniker for athletics. And I'm glad we have continued our pursuit, if for no other reason, the reversal of the Legal name change in the 80's. Without that underhanded, backwater LA politics we wouldn't be having this discussion................But it is what it is...........

Actually, someone designed a prototype helmet for ULM with Louisiana. That was way back when the "ULX law" was made. It was never worn in games. UL@L, on the other hand, wears game football uniforms with Louisiana and baseball caps with UL.

It was predicted that the "ULX law" nonsense would be a train wreck and UL@L has made it one.

Also, in my post that you quote, I wrote, "Let's just say I and Tech fans I personally speak with have no hatred toward the SBC or any of its members.

Why is so difficult for Cajuns to tell the whole truth instead of misrepresenting what Tech fans say and represent it in a poor light?

Some of us have seen what tech fans have said. They watched your thug team brawl across the US with the thug Joe Raymond Peace as coach. Fans that have been around have listened to the arrogance that comes from a fan base who has never sold out their stadium. We know you and we are not buying your poor poor us baloney. It did not come from Louisiana Rajun Cajuns it came from Ruston. It would be appreciated if you would go away and stop trying to tell us what to believe. Let us discuss our conf. and CUSA and how it affects us without having to read your drivel. Nothin' but love for you. BTW that is as sincere as I believe your nonsense is.

I am curious as to whether you are a member of the media.

Is that near Boone? Is Mt. Airy close by? As a huge Andy Griffith Show fan I would love to visit there and have a bottle of pop at Wally's.

BTW, I have known of App St for a long time, much prior to 2007. I was merely responding to a poster that said he had never heard of Louisiana Tech prior to your school joining the SBC.

Boone is a little over an hour from Mt Airy. And I honestly didn't know anything about LA Tech until we joined the FBS. Why would I, grew up an App fan and only knew 1-AA and what ESPN showed of 1-A. The only "G5" programs I knew about were local ones like ECU and ones we met in the playoffs that moved to 1-A.

I just figured you were familiar with Terry Bradshaw (who for years has intermittingly mentioned on air that he is an alumnus of Louisiana Tech) or our other 2 NFL HOFers, or Karl Malone. Tech was Div 2 NC 3 times in the '70s and played in the 1AA NC in 1984 or so, but lost. I figured we were always pretty much in the same FB category, but maybe not. 3 time NCs in WBB in the '80s. Lost a couple or so in later years, also.

Anyway, I have known of App St for many years and have pretty much been a minor fan.

Definitely sell it. The g5 and FCS fans are starved for the highlights, analysis, and live content that every p5 fan gets to see whenever it wants. It would preferably be a TV channel that anyone can watch, but if not, stream it.

Lol not touching the rest of what you said in that post but to answer these questions...Maggie Valley is about 2 hours south west of Boone through Pisgah national forest. Its really not that far but winding mountain roads slow you down. Mount Airey is about an hour and a half north east of Boone.

Again I ask, if the CUSA splits into two separate east/west conferences, and TxSt goes with the new western conference, and we pick up USM and UAB, how would any SBC travel be worst in that scenario then if we combine with CUSA and split down the middle???

So why is this a SBC issue??? This is a CUSA problem and something they have to figure out. Not for us to break up our happy family.04-cheers

Why would USM and UAB join the SBC? You say this is a CUSA problem. It is not. If it is a problem, it is a CUSA East Division problem. The CUSA West is a pretty compact division for travel purposes, other than UTEP. Otherwise, every West Division team can bus, though UTSA may be a stretch for some. Replace UTEP and UTSA with the ULXs and you have a very compact division. Add two more nearby schools and you have a pretty good 9 team conference. 8 teams would work as it did for many years with the Big 8. The SBC is just as wide spread as all of CUSA.

False. NMSU is gone from SBC. F_U belongs to CUSA, fortunately. Marshall is further north than SBC range, and OD is further east. You are full of ****.
Based on his posts over the last 24 hours his 'load' must be much lower.
Even his fellow @ruston posters on the cooosa board last night had enough of his rants and one of them basically told him to stfu. LOL

That is not what he said, man. I will admit that I am sick and tired of Cajun posters, you included, continuing to post that Tech "murdered" our mascot. That is completely false and totally classless. Also, it is about as mean spirited as one can get. Though I would never do it about another's pet, I can even understand making jokes about it for a week or so, but what has it been now, 5 years maybe. Why do you constantly misrepresent things involving me or Tech? And I certainly haven't been ranting. Show me where I have. That is your department.

I see since being reinstated you have left me neg rep points, one for a post made on the CUSA board. Another demanded that I stay off the SBC board. Yet, you obviously had recently visited the CUSA board. You claim to be a proponent of free speech. Apparently, you mean your free speech as you are completely intolerant of anyone that you disagree with. Neither post had anything to do with you. I responded via the rep point thing, but rated my response as "neutral." Even in this thread you misrepresented what I said. I clearly stated that no Tech fan I had personally spoken to hate the SBC or ULM, or speaks of them derogatorily. Yet, to dispute my post you quote something written on a message board. Why is it apparently impossible for you to not misrepresent anything to do with Tech? You seemingly have a compulsion to inaccurately convey to others things that have nothing to do with you. Why? It is irrational for you to speak for others, especially when you are apparently attempting to influence people's opinion based on false information and what you want them to believe. If that is not your intent, then what is?

I have asked for peace, but you continue to refuse and make personal attacks as, apparently, you can't control yourself and are compelled to continue your irrational nonsense regarding Louisiana Tech and its fans. Just leave me alone and I will leave you alone. If you are compelled to falsely criticize Tech do it on BBB.

As far as your other obsession:

Man: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!!
Arthur: Shut *UP*!
Man: I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Because you badgered him as much as you badger us in your unrelenting ability to accept facts/reality. In other words, you probably wore the poor guy out....easier to tell you want you want to hear and the only thing you will accept, rather than trying to convince you of the truth.

Man, you are making assumptions that are flatly untrue. The guy had no idea what school, if any, I supported. You have absolutely no idea of the circumstances of our meeting or how the discussion of the Indy Bowl even happened. It was all by happenstance. Why do you continually speak for me? You don't know anything about me. I accept and understand reality and people that actually know me pretty much like me and know me as a very friendly person, though somewhat introverted. You had a chance to meet me, at my invitation to buy you lunch and drinks, but failed to show.

As far as badgering, it is you who has chased me from one board to another for no other reason than to call me a liar and hate filled, when the opposite is true. That is "Shonuff" and that is all I have to say on the matter. Leave me alone, don't speak for me, and I will do the same. Peace, man, peace.

Did someone say Sho'nuff?
[Image: shonuff.jpg]
Yeah, one of his many demented rantings. Like believing I have the power to ban folks, lol

When did I say you "have the power to ban folks?" I asked you if you lobbied for having "Dawgxas" banned. Those are certainly not the same thing. Yet, another example of you misrepresenting what I wrote. Actually, I responded to your rant, as you were angrily and falsely accusing me.

Arkansas State might be a good add for North Texas, UAB,etc.

MTSU adds value because of having solid basketball and football. Is WKU even in a "market" to begin with?

Not sure where you come off saying ULL has no money, either. The facility improvements they've made just over the last 5 years is impressive, and they probably have a better combined football, basketball, and baseball facility than anyone in the SBC or CUSA.

Couldn't the same question be asked about Ga. Southern? What is your point?

Louisiana Tech certainly wasn't added to CUSA because of market size. We were added because we were competitive and have proved such in our 3 yrs as a CUSA member.

You guys have been playing FBS football for (what ?) 3 years or so and seem to believe you should be running things. Man, you guys are arrogant.
I'll pause and contemplate the ramifications of a Tech fan calling anyone arrogant...

Yeah, well, that was kind of my point. I don't understand why fans of schools such as the GSUs having the opinion that Tech fans are arrogant as there is no history between us. I don't see how you have any opinion whatsoever as we know very little of each other.

SBC fans were mentally prepared for a hard climb. CUSA fans were mentally prepared for parties and limos.

Everyone will be better off when they realize it is the same hard climb no matter which arrangement of climbers you put together.

Add two more nearby schools and you have a pretty good 9 team conference. 8 teams would work as it did for many years with the Big 8. The SBC is just as wide spread as all of CUSA.
So you don't think UAB would rather play schools in AL, GA, TN, DO and NC?

I don't know. They have been CUSA members for a long time. Also, were the CUSA West Division members to stay together and add the ULXs, we would satisfy the NCAA rules for BB credits (as it would take a couple years for this to happen), which is important, and would have a geographically compact conference except for UTEP. El Paso is pretty far from any of the schools under discussion. Add one more nearby school and that would be 9, which is the perfect number, though 8 would do.

Not sure where you come off saying ULL has no money, either. The facility improvements they've made just over the last 5 years is impressive, and they probably have a better combined football, basketball, and baseball facility than anyone in the SBC or CUSA.

Couldn't the same question be asked about Ga. Southern? What is your point?

Louisiana Tech certainly wasn't added to CUSA because of market size. We were added because we were competitive and have proved such in our 3 yrs as a CUSA member.

You guys have been playing FBS football for (what ?) 3 years or so and seem to believe you should be running things. Man, you guys are arrogant.
I'll pause and contemplate the ramifications of a Tech fan calling anyone arrogant...

Lol...Yeah I caught that too.
But you guys only believe that because UL fans make y'all believe it. Y'all can't possibly come to your own opinions by interacting with them on your own.
I assume you are referring to a post I made, where I said that it was possible that ULL posters may be attempting to influence posters from schools Tech has no history with to think negatively of Tech. But, again, you misrepresent what I wrote. I didn't say ULL "make"
people believe anything - in fact, I said that I may be wrong. At the same time, earlier in this thread you stated that ULL posters rarely visit this board any more because Tech/USA fans visit here. Also, you admonish CUSA fans for visiting this board, yet you and other Cajuns, by your own admission, visit the CUSA board (which, BTW, I have no problem with - or the Tech board for that matter). So, you want freedom of speech for yourself, but resent freedom of speech for those with whom you are not in agreement. Am I missing something here?

Here are a just a few of the doozies used to refer to ulm:

"MeTooU"
"nlulm"
"Kentucky Fried Chickenhawks"
"Me too JUCO" ("they are a waste Louisiana taxpayer money.)
"the LaMoners"

Try again.

We also aren't conference brethren that made a deal with them in order to get our name changed. I said we don't call them "TheHoax" or "ULMost." Point being, you folks should be thankful to them for going along with you in the name change thing. They upheld their end of the bargain.

I thought you didn't lower yourself to read the Tech board. Since you cut and paste from it, bring your criticisms there. You were reinstated here so I'm sure you can be reinstated there. You have a lot of bad things to say about Tech. Be a man and quit doing it behind our backs, so to speak. Again, peace, man.

Louisiana @ Monroe has only recently "embraced" the ULM moniker. At least from an administration position. I'm sure many of the fans and alumni have yet to fully embrace it; which is their right. But many were right there at the beginning of the naming fiasco trying to lay claim to "Louisiana", even promoting "Louisiana' on their uniforms. I distinctly recall a football helmet with the Louisiana script and arrow. Probably more examples too. Granted the Cajuns have been more persistent in pursuing the Louisiana moniker for athletics. And I'm glad we have continued our pursuit, if for no other reason, the reversal of the Legal name change in the 80's. Without that underhanded, backwater LA politics we wouldn't be having this discussion................But it is what it is...........

Actually, someone designed a prototype helmet for ULM with Louisiana. That was way back when the "ULX law" was made. It was never worn in games. UL@L, on the other hand, wears game football uniforms with Louisiana and baseball caps with UL.

It was predicted that the "ULX law" nonsense would be a train wreck and UL@L has made it one.

Also, in my post that you quote, I wrote, "Let's just say I and Tech fans I personally speak with have no hatred toward the SBC or any of its members. Also, we don't call SBC member ULM "the Hoax" or "ULMost"" Naturally, a Cajun poster uses what others say on a message to dispute my post, where I clearly stated "I and Tech fans I personally speak with." Why is so difficult for Cajuns to tell the whole truth instead of misrepresenting what Tech fans say and represent it in a poor light?

Some of us have seen what tech fans have said. They watched your thug team brawl across the US with the thug Joe Raymond Peace as coach. Fans that have been around have listened to the arrogance that comes from a fan base who has never sold out their stadium. We know you and we are not buying your poor poor us baloney. It did not come from Louisiana Rajun Cajuns it came from Ruston. It would be appreciated if you would go away and stop trying to tell us what to believe. Let us discuss our conf. and CUSA and how it affects us without having to read your drivel. Nothin' but love for you. BTW that is as sincere as I believe your nonsense is.
No, it seems like we are doomed to seeing his 'drivel' as well as litigating his unending obesseion/hatred of our legal name.
Pity, really, why we have to endure this stuff from a fan from another conference who so obviously has zero empathy or true interest with anything having to do with the SBC.
Peace, man.....and peace to the whole universe.

If you think you don't like Louisiana Tech...you are probably wrong. If you are right...then the reasons that you don't like Louisiana Tech are wrong. In fact...they are probably not even your reasons....you just probably think they are your reasons.

And if fans that don't know Louisiana Tech.....see half the world not liking Louisiana Tech for reasons that aren't even reasons.....then they might get the mistaken impression that half the world is right to not like Louisiana Tech....and that would be really wrong.

Its better if everyone gets to see it.
