Please don't sit here and pull the usual Tech fan antic of acting all high and mighty as if only a few of us are worthy to be invited to play in the Illustrious CUSA.

You'll just make a fool of yourself.

Think what you want. Just standing by my statement that ULL fans are turning into a bunch of A holes. And simply from the observation of other Belt fans

Good for you. Now go back to that trailer trash you call a conference and annoy the trolls over there.

You mean the trailer trash conference you will be in in the next two years

Do you really think it will be two years? I don't.

I pray to God we never have to roll around in the pig sh*t with the rest of C-USA

No one is going anywhere in two years. CUSA isn't going to 16, and there appears to be no pressure on any other leagues to move quick.

You judge an entire fan base by a few people on a message board? Maybe you should get out more. Every fan base has a**holes. It's an anonymous board, you don't know for sure that some of the bigger a holes are actually cajun fans. There are plenty of tech a holes that cruise around various message boards but one shouldn't believe that every tech fan is an a hole. Especially a fan base and community that is universal known for being friendly, outgoing and hospitable as the Cajuns are. Hopefully you get off your computer and make the game next year and see for yourself if cajun fans are a holes.

Well ULL fans spend so much time talking about how much better the belt is than CUSA, then turn around and ***** about how much they want out of the belt. We always wanted out of the WAC but we didn't disrespect our own conference mates. And your fan base didn't start acting that way until you started winning. ASU and Troy didn't act that way when they dominated the belt.

Always have been. Always sneering at other teams, always blaming someone else for their woes, demanding everyone else finance their program, while for years, they wouldn't give 2 cents. For all the talk, they've never been ranked (not even in the 80s), never beaten an SEC team, have maybe 1 or 2 wins against AQ teams (and not good ones). Until Hudspeth, their attendance was deep in the single digits most nights, but they are the first to point fingers at others' attendance.
Nobody in Louisiana wants a thing to do with them and for one reason: their fans are A holes.
Just a really dull lot.

All in the past, Hammy-J!! There's LSU(by a long shot), UL and everyone else now, pally. Let it sink in, pud... 2.5 years, thats all.. 2.5 years of getting serious, and we are well on our way. The fact that you dont like UL makes my day!!!

LOL!!

Z

Z you've become the worst of them all. I mean damn at least act like you've been there. No class

Lets not turn this into a Bash UL thread please. Keep to the topic at hand.

Look how far the programs at USF and UCF have come in a very short time. The state of Florida is crazy for football and is one of the best recruiting territories in the nation. The potential for FIU and FAU to grow into excellent programs is undeniable. Their selection for addition into CUSA, though it may seem somewhat questionable right now, will prove to be a very good choice. The additions of UNT, MT, and WKU was a no brainer. All three are excellent additions to CUSA. ULL and Ark St would also be excellent additions and both would be good geographic fits as well. I think those two will fill the next openings in CUSA.

Your point on the F-U's is conjecture and optimism. As it stands now, those schools bring down the conference in most sports, especially from where C-USA was. I agree with MTSU, UNT and WKU, but I can back that up the athletic department budget, which usually translates into success. Can't do that with the F-U's though.

I agree with part of that but I think some measure of fairness must be given to FIU and FAU. Many judge their success based on abysmal attendance but in all do fairness, both schools' football programs are only about 10 years old. In that time both schools each won 1 SBC Football Championship and had some winning seasons and Bowl games. It's tough to start football from scratch and succeed. As to overall sports, FIU in 10 years won more SBC championships than Arkansas State, Troy, and ULM. FAU won more than ULM. Are they on the same level as UCF or USF? Of course not. Is there potential? I think....maybe.

At the moment FIU is reeling from extremely bad administrative decisions....coaching hires, etc. and FAU is struggling in football but you can't dismiss their location, budget, facilities, etc. Good leadership can right that ship. The question is, will they?

As to UCF, they've had football for 35 years and USF has had football for 16 years. UCF had their struggles as well. USF has never won a conference championship but has had winning seasons.

I think anyone who is asking whether a conference has benefited ONE YEAR after the moves is crazy. And any conference commissioner who made the move with the hope of a 1 year fix should be drawn and quartered.

Honestly, no one will know if C-USA benefited until many years down the line (I'd guess more than 5). The same way no one will know if the Sun Belt benefited from adding App, Georgia Southern, Texas State, New Mexico State, & Idaho. Now, you can say Texas State has exceeded expectations this year, which is great. But that doesn't mean we'll be a good add until you can see some results and more than one year's worth.

We live in a world that wants everything NOW and that includes a verdict on who won and lost in realignment. It is annoying.

If that's the case, then clearly the Sun Belt won, because there's no school cooler than Texas State.

They even have a minister posting for them!
