You can add any qualifications you want. Head-to-Head, total points for or against, temperature differentials, player weight, number of redheads in attendance. But none of those things are in the requirements for a conference championship in the Sun Belt.

ULL had every opportunity to do what was necessary to be SOLE champion according to the rules. They did not do that. The rules were not changed during the season. We all knew what they were at the start. They did not fulfill those requirements and cannot be handed the "sole" qualifier after the fact with rules you make up.

ULL is NOT the sole 2013 football champion of the Sun Belt. They never will be. The records will always show TWO equal champions unless someone gets vacated.

ULL has every right to call themselves Sun Belt Football Champions 2013. But so do we. Everyone will just have to get used to that fact.

I'm not here to comment on the GSU/UL game because I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm ok with some of their fans being upset.

Just want to give my opinion on this: I don't personally count the three-way tie in 2005 as a Cajun SBC championship. Even though we can claim it. We spanked that stAte ass this past year head-to-head, so I will never agree that we shared the championship (even though the SBC says so).

That's just a little stubbornness mixed with smack. Carry on!

You are free to delude yourself. Nobody can stop that.

I count 2005 even though it is officially gone now. You should count it too. You do your guys a disservice if you don't recognize it.
