I laughed at the part where he called you guys winless.

Not to be insulting but it's ignorance of programs like this that makes some of these schools, through no fault of their own, risky contributors to the future of the Sun Belt. I'm saying that in the sense of other smaller schools being thrown around.

Lazy incompetent sports writers will be lazy incompetent sports writers. Not much you can do about that.

Weed in your mom's tight enclosed, low ceiling basement is never a good idea.

G-SU
GS-U


There, now kith.

Can you really say "lazy" with a straight face? How lazy is somebody who just throws in some stuff about those who are irrelevant to the NC race which is all the greater sports world cares about?

You can easily see this as a symptom of what it is, the distancing of the Sun Belt from relevancy to the highest level of the game.

Its not even a GSU issue

But it has little to do with teams leaving. Its not like CUSA, MWC, MAC, or AAC are any closer. The fact of the matter is that no one cares enough to research the non AQ conferences.

Absolutely, that's my point.

This shows us how far the conference has to go. It should also remind us of where we are and where those we are elevating to our level really are. That's a serious consideration when it comes to advancing the conference by expansion.

What program in any of the G5 conferences is relevant in the NC race? It's lazy writing.

The thing is...the reality is we don't compete with power leagues. Our goal is to only appear better than other non AQ leagues. Whether or not a sports writer mistakes Georgia Southern for Georgia State is irrelevant if both teams win games and help us keep our current NCAA Standing as the top non AQ league.

What's in a name? we all know a name doesn't mean anything...

it's what you do on the field!

BTW GSU(G-ST) that was a great win you had over UF


PERCEPTION

BTW FAU got the same treatment from this writer "Partridge needs to guide FAU back to where it was when Mario Cristobal had the school"


just lazy writing/fact checking

It's not like calculus. You just have to do a Wikipedia search or look at the ESPN website. Not even real journalistic "research".

The guy and his editor should be fired and replaced with an intern who cares more.

The University of Southern Mississippi was known as Mississippi Southern College until 1962 and at that time they acquired university status and the name changed to the University of Southern Mississippi which it is called today. With that being said, if Georgia Southern switched their name around to University of Southern Georgia it could be referred to as Southern Georgia, USG or simply, "Southern Jawga". Problem solved.

With our board, they'd end up being called Georgia Regents University II or something.

I sent the writer a nice email. He wrote back immediately, and apologized, and said he would take care of it.

He did more than confuse us, he flat out merged us. How the hell do you manage to combine our transition from the flexbone to the pistol and State's record last year??

Who cares? Certainly not the publisher.

Ass family kid needs to lose his job.
