RE: Interesting G-5 articles
FIVE SCHOOLS THAT SECRETLY WORRY THEIR P5 INSTATE BROTHERS
And two of the five are Belters!!
Arkansas State: Whatever Arkansas State has recently put into their University water system , I would like to bottle and sell internationally. The Red Wolves have been nothing short of impressive for the past 3 years. With 27 wins in three years, under 3 different coaching staffs no less, it is hard not to be excited about the long term potential for Arkansas State. With only one other school in the state, Arkansas, vying for recruits in the talent rich deep south, the Razorbacks are no doubt keeping a sharp eyed trained on what is happening in Jonesboro. Blake Anderson, head coach number 3, looks to be like another good hire for the Red Wolves.
Georgia Southern: If only someone at Georgia Southern would have had the vision in the mid to late 80's to push for D1 status, Georgia Southern would now easily hold the number 2 football position in Georgia, instead of Georgia Tech. If only someone at Georgia Southern would have capitalized on the enigmatic and legendary Georgia Southern Coach, Erk Russell, Georgia Southern might actually be comfy, cozy, sitting fat and happy in a P5 conference. Erk's teams in the 80's were hotter than Georgia asphalt in August. Alas, the faithful in Statesboro, now join the ranks of those who failed to invest in the bottled water explosion in the late 20th century, that is , they are lamenting the lost opportunity. All is not dark however for Eagle fans, as their brethren in Athens are well aware that you are now part of the D1 world. They are however, breathing a sigh of relief that it finally happened in 2014 not 1989. Still, they are a bit worried. Don't believe them when they say they are not.

Quote:Team That'll Surprise
Georgia Southern - The Eagles aren't going to challenge for the Sun Belt title, but new head man Willie Fritz is inheriting a team loaded with experience and options. The offense that was run first, run often last season will change up a little bit and incorporate more passing, but the ground game will still be good enough to dominate the easy part of the Sun Belt slate - be shocked if GSU isn't 4-1 in conference play before hosting Troy. There's no Louisiana-Lafayette or Arkansas State to deal with, so eight wins or more are possible.

Yeah....been there done that with the WAC. However, it is more palatable now with divisions and if there was a way to setup where you don't play Hawaii in the same year.

If you've never traveled in the west, you should. I think Arizona is probably the most beautiful state in the union, next to Alaska.

Been to Arizona. Hoping to go to Utah in a couple years when AState heads to Utah State, though I would have to fly to take that trip, something I have never done before.

When I retired from the oilfield I had over 500,000 frequent flyer miles......finally used them all up with back and forth from here to the States.

There are some really pretty places in the Western US the only problem is that a good many are at least 3 hours to the next spot....so lots of travel....and in those 3 hours not much to look at other than more of same.....I know there are many places if you stay in mountains pretty but.....have you been to Eastern Colorado or half of Arizona and New Mexico........long way between spots let alone gas.

Thought GS fans said their football program was so poor back then that they
could barely afford footballs. Would have been nearly impossible it sounds
like to have done that back then.

I wonder how many people have died saying "Hey, let's walk to the base of that Mesa over there..."
