RE: Week 9 power rankings
All year long the common theme here has been "yeah y'all are good but wait til you play someone else." The most recent was before we played UL and NMSU. It was we will know how you are after these next two games.
Ok we played them and averaged over 40 points. Now this was coming from other teams posters not us. Still according to you we are lacking. What I find funny is the App loss and some of the comments there. BOP brings up some legit comments on that and some posters on here jump all over him with excuses. Mainly UMASS is better than they have shown. This is not coming from their fans but SBC opponents. It just kills you guys that we dominate this conference. Someday that will end. Maybe this year. But next time you start to downplay stAte's accomplishments of the last 6 years just think how much we have done and its not your team no matter how much you want it to be. Well all fans but Troy because they went through a stretch like we are in but I doubt even they had to listen to the "yeah you have been great but you don't really deserve it." Yeah it's tough being king.Lol. BTW someone on the Den brought up since Anderson has been here every win has been by double digits except two. One was GS last year. Can't remember who the other was. So yeah dominate. What you guys don't seem to realize is how hopeless it would be for you If we had a running game. If USA or Troy beats us I think that will be the Achilles heel. If you want to hammer us with something use that.

I think your perception is off. As it was when we were king. Yes, there are times when talking good about ARKST leads to someone accusing you of chest bumping. We still get that, and we aren't even king anymore.

That said, no one is saying you don't deserve to be king, and if they are, there's few and far between that actually mean it. I should repeat that. People think you're beatable and you and many ARKST fans have taken it as "you ain't ****". On the flip side, a lot of what you guys say is perceived as "there's no way you can beat us, so you really shouldn't even try" which is probably also perceived wrong.

When someone says you haven't played any good defenses, they're not saying your offense sucks and the red wolves ain't ****, they're saying we don't know how strong you really are until you play USA and Troy, who at least statically, have better defenses that what you've faced so far. That's a perfectly logical thing to say and argue about. Talking sports doesn't have to be an offense, but many ARKST fans and others take it that way.

These are the rules:

1. When you're the king, anyone who doesn't hold the king in unreasonably high esteem is a dissenter, and is obviously talking ****. He must be dealt with, for the king's reputation is of the utmost value.
2. If you're not the king, anytime the king refers to himself in a positive light, he is "chest thumping" and the feelings of peasants are hurt. This must also be dealt with, because no one likes a bully.

You guys don't get a quarter of what we got during our five year run. Not even close. Middle and WKU fans were accusing Larry "the snake" Blakeney of cheating every other day. The ULL fans decided that our titles were basically void because we had some mythical APR advantage that if they had actually sat down and read what it means, they would realize it had almost no effect whatsoever. Arkstfan had a good write-up on here regarding it. We lost two bowl games to #25 CMU and Southern Miss (blocked kick in double overtime both time) in back to back years, and the trash talking went on for weeks about we didn't represent the belt well, even though their teams weren't good enough to make the one bowl we had at the time. We were clobbering them 45-7 every most games and we were the bad guys. We'd play Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Arkansas (when they had Darren McFadden) in the same year and other teams would talk **** to us with their 3-1 records against Alcorn, Memphis, Ball State etc. Such is life being king.

Ya we had it bad. At the very least as bad as stAte. But I agree the being accused of cheating went on and on.

The bad mouthing of Troy was when we first started moving into the SBC in 2001.

I think what you get out of AState fans is frustration because we run into this every year. It feels like every week we hear "we'll learn more about AState when they face X team" and then when we face that team and beat them it changes to "well they weren't very good, or they exposed a couple issues, so we'll see what you look like after you play Y team"

I'm fairly confident we could win out, winning every game by at least 2 TD's and someone on here would go "Well you didn't play App State or Georgia State, so you had an easy schedule"

We haven't heard about the Cheating really, but we have heard 6 years of "Those coaching changes will come back and bite you" or "Yeah, but you recruit only JUCO's and we recruit High School guys"

I feel like ultimately every league champ hears it from the rest of the schools. We all want to beat the best, and we all learn to irrationally hate them for their winning. Especially if the school is like AState and more vulnerable in OOC play than some of the rest of the schools seem to be.

Some of the grief was earned by Troy board posters. Some acted like Troy was somehow always going to be better than everyone else because you'd always been successful at lower levels.

In my opinion A-State fans(not the trolls) are generally more appreciative of our relative success and cognizant of the fact that it can easily go away because we sucked most of the 20 years prior.

At least basketball seems to be trending upward, thank goodness. If not, it’s gonna be tough going for this conference moving forward.
What are you new here? It most certainly is a football conference and this is simply a down year but since App and Geo South joined we have only been ranked behind MWC and AAC in football for g5s and we were nipping on the MWC heels, ill take one bad year every 3 or 4 times

There's several who have left this board especially after the fall of Troy. But we added a couple since the rebuild

Nah, we'll probably have one of those games against Troy where we get 4 unsportsmanlike conduct fouls, still win by 20 and the entire league hates us forever.

Benson will probably be so mad he'll mail the trophy again.
