RE: USA Today's flawed conference rankings
When the Sun Belt gets to the point that most folks don't see it as a "gimme game", then we can start moving up the list.

Even with the success that ULM, the Cajuns, stAte, & Troy have had... we aren't at that point. Like the guy above me said... USA, Texas State, the Georgia Twins, App, NMSU & Idaho need to make sure that they are winning OOC games on a regular basis, limit the bodybag games, and get some high profile wins.

Okay, they really didn't say that about the Belt, but could have.

Pond Scum, really. And on a CUSA thread. Bet they loved that.

I know. And have to admit would be kind of funny if we were not the butt of the joke.

Yeah, and with the ladies over there, one has to be very careful not to offend. First step is to kiss their ring.....and even at that some of them gave me crap.

At the end of the day, in football, there's not a gnat's ass difference in our two conferences.

They tended to ignore it.

Generally, the only way to rile those guys up is to say something negative about them over here, so a MTSU or UNT fan can link the thread over there and they can talk bad about us.

Which means we tend to rile them up quite a bit.

People like the ones who wrote this article assume we will all have seasons like Gasta did in their first season. It's our job to prove them wrong and win our share of games.

A few of our programs consider themselves above most CUSA schools. Ask our AD who he considers peer schools from other conferences, and he doesn't mention a single CUSA school in that list.

Hate that we are fighting years and years of snide comments and outright ugly jokes concerning
the SBC.

If App and the two Georgia schools continue to develop like most seem to agree they are capable of, those snide comments will pretty much vanish entirely.

We're already making significant progress by simply getting USA, Troy, and ULM recognized with our top two as other growing programs.

Hope that when everyone at Cheers knows our name.
Regardless of the fame, we don't flaunt it in other conference's faces.
Let others do it. More satisfying.

Seriously?
You are just doing that to antagonize us right?
You know North Carolina BBQ is the best in the world.
Carolina girls + BBQ, best in the world.

Mt. Rushmore of BBQ - NC, TN (Memphis), TX, Kansas City

Anyone list that names others above those four loses credibility.

Which is odd because they have that prestige factor on their side.

And then there was the UNTs #17 ranking in 1977. Why do we even bother fielding teams?
