What major conference has U-LaLa been apart of? Oh wait. ":lmfao:

U-LaLa can't even hold UH's jock that it's not even worth acknowledging your irrelevant ass for much longer.

Do you want another one of our backup qbs in order to stay relevant in the Sun Belt since Broadway has only one more year left?

You shouldn't be so sensitive there CK. You should be proud that the Southwest Conference at least gave you guys a chance before realizing they'd made a horrible mistake by accepting a "special olympics-type" university into their fold. But just keep plugging along and eventually things will get better. Heck, some day you guys will even be able to beat teams like TxState.

As for Broadway, he was pretty smart wasn't he? Because of the untimely injury of our starting quarterback did he get a chance to play real college ball, and he played well. Most valuable player in last years New Orleans Bowl where we beat ECU, one of your conference mates. BTW, speaking of last year's bowl games, how you guys do in yours? I haven't looked. Must have done really well since you guys are so prestigious.

Oh wait, I just looked.....5-7 Nevermind 03-lmfao

You just went full retard. It just shows the notable talent gap between the Sun Belt and the AAC.

I have a lot of love for Tulane but playing them in a bowl game isn't a huge accomplishment. U-LaLa is ignorant and shortsighted enough to turn down a bowl game against an ACC opponent in Shreveport just so they can go to New Orleans and party. Then you turn around and actually think you can build a 60k stadium from scratch considering you have never average 30k or larger.

You are in the Sun Belt for a reason.

RE: ESPN Rates Heart of Dallas Bowl Last
It may just be me, but I do not understand the thought process involved in someone from another board, constantly feeling the need to go to another board to insult people. It is especially puzzling when said poster comes from a conference at least two rungs (in their mind) above the board they visit.
It seem to me that they still have some insecurities that need to be assuaged by belittling others in order to feel better about their team, conference, and by extension, themselves.
It is classic elementary school bullying behavior. Fortunately for the world, most people outgrow this behavior. Unfortuantely, some never do, and are thus forever fated to spend time running to every messageboard they can find in order to insult posters who support programs that (in their minds) are a threat to them.
Well, that is my lecture on Psychology 101, subtitled "Why CK is obsessed with SBC and CUSA - Looking Into the Mind of an Immature Man" The PowerPoint slides will be available for downloading at a later date.

Helluva lot better than Texas State, UL-Monroe, Appalachain State, GSU1, GSU2, and what other semi-FCS school is around because I don't remember off the top of my head who is even in this conference.

The Cajuns were never offered an invite to the Shreveport as they could not offer the Cajuns unless they could not feel their spots. Shreveport and the Cajuns only "talked." The NOLA Bowl then invited the Cajuns and the Cajuns accepted as they did not want to get left out if Shreveport did not have a spot (see Louisiana Tech 2012). If you are going to come on the Sun Belt board and attempt to belittle at least get your facts straight.

This is where Banowsky beats the pants off of Benson.

Benson, due to the piss poor leadership of Waters, didn't have any cards to play.

And to be fair, Waters didn't have many cards to play because many of our teams when he was President were rarely bowl eligible, so he couldn't get more slots to trade.

So while CUSA is living off the residue of successes by teams like Houston, Louisville, UCF, ECU, etc., the Sun Belt had to deal with the residue of bad seasons by teams like UNT, WKU, and the F_U's (as well as ULM). Exactly 2 teams playing in CUSA have EVER won a CUSA football championship (Rice - this year, and USM).

The bowl situation will be equalized next year. Now all we have to do is to figure out how to get out of that awful TV contract with ESPN.

I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

If you are so bored and nothing better to do than why don't you look up the last head to head meeting between the two schools in football?

Was this the last meeting, Robertson Stadium?

HOUSTON (AP) - Jerry Babb's 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kevin Belton with 1:02 remaining lifted Louisiana-Lafayette to a 31-28 victory against Houston on Saturday night.

The Cajuns (3-2), who fell behind 21-0 early in the second quarter, went 85 yards on 18 plays in a drive that consumed 6:46, and Babb capped the deciding score with a two-point conversion pass to receiver Derrick Smith.

The Cougars (4-2) dropped their second in a row despite 367 passing yards from Kevin Kolb.

Lafayette controlled the second half with an effective rushing attack. Tyrell Fenroy had 88 of his 110 after halftime as the Cajuns outgained Houston 269-38 on the ground. Fenroy's 18-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter cut Lafayette's deficit to 28-23.

Kolb continued to break records at the school that produced prolific passers Andre Ware and David Klingler. His 14th game of 300 or more passing yards moved him one ahead of Klinger, and his 58-yard pass to Jeron Harvey in the first quarter set a school completions record and led to Jackie Battle's 2-yard run for a 7-0 lead.

Lafayette linebacker Mack Fair appeared to answer that score with a 39-yard fumble return, but Houston challenged the ruling. The call was overturned, and subsequent confusion on the placement of the first-down markers led to a 10-minute delay.

The first two plays after the long break also didn't go Lafayette's way. Kolb threw a 56-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline to Donnie Avery, and Houston's Trent Allen intercepted a pass after the kickoff and returned it to the Cajuns' 23. Four plays later, Kolb scored on a 4-yard run.

Babb answered with a 15-yard touchdown run on the next drive, and a 23-yard field goal by Drew Edmiston closed the margin to 21-10 at the half.

=====================

Thanks for holding our jocks there Cougar Queen. 03-lmfao

In return, MWC got the at large slot in HOD for being accomodating, as well as setting up the Boise St vs. Pac 12 matchup in Hawaii.

Distance and attendance and all that make sense, but the $$$ for ESPN make more sense, to them at least. CUSA, MWC, and ESPN all got a perfect deal. UNT is the only one disappointed in a less than stellar opponent, but who can complain about a January 1st bowl game in the Cotton Bowl against an opponent they should beat?

This is where Banowsky beats the pants off of Benson.

Benson, due to the piss poor leadership of Waters, didn't have any cards to play.

And to be fair, Waters didn't have many cards to play because many of our teams when he was President were rarely bowl eligible, so he couldn't get more slots to trade.

So while CUSA is living off the residue of successes by teams like Houston, Louisville, UCF, ECU, etc., the Sun Belt had to deal with the residue of bad seasons by teams like UNT, WKU, and the F_U's (as well as ULM). Exactly 2 teams playing in CUSA have EVER won a CUSA football championship (Rice - this year, and USM).

The bowl situation will be equalized next year. Now all we have to do is to figure out how to get out of that awful TV contract with ESPN.

Just so you know, those "bad" teams are responsible for 8 of the 20 SBC football championships.

Maybe so, but still the best of the belt.

No, I would say that belonged to 8-4 MTSU, who you upset. The my beat you nine times out if ten, but you got them that one time to get it. In the end, unTexas won the first SBC championship, but few outside UNT circles think they were the best team
