"People point to Mississippi State, Navy and Troy, but we also need to appropriately recognize Georgia State, which is an up-and-coming program; Georgia Southern, which has unbelievable football history; and then Texas State which is a program that has been playing football for a long time and has won national championships at different levels. At recent Sun Belt meetings there were several ADs that commented about our schedule.''

Just thought it was cool of a 'Belt AD to give props to hosting conference mates instead of talking about how bad we want to get out.

Hope South Alabama, Troy, Georgia Southern and App State always
maintain their enthusiasm for the Sun Belt pretty much 100%.

Good post, Tig. The SBC has made some improvements with the addition of App. State, Georgia Southern & NMSU. Hoping JMU and Missouri State will come in soon. No offense Idaho, but the Vandals are way out of the "footprint". Just saying.

Seems as if there is more an attitude to keep things as they are than to add teams.

INYOM maybe, but not in others' opinions.

Great attitude. I hope we keep growing the brand.

As of right now, that is the plan. If the right team comes around...sure. Otherwise, we're content at 11.

Class Act all the way!!!

Hmmmm, seems he left one home game off that list..........

I think he just wanted to match 3 for 3 but I can't see into his mind.

Who did he leave out?

Troy. (Sad to see this game is on Friday, but ESPNU will be showing it.)

He mentioned Troy along with MSU and Navy...as if they'd be one of the biggest draws. And they will be.

I read this on my cell phone, at work (a BIG no, no). My phone is small and totally crap so missed part of the article.
