I'll pull for GaSo to win OOC. Right now I need them to lose to ULM though. If they don't, I'll be pulling for them to break the Top 25.

Is Ark St 2011 before the bowl game loss the closest a Sun Belt team has been to being ranked? They made it to 29th with 18 votes.

I like any other Cajun fan would love to settle the issue on the field but no one can take away what GS has accomplished on the field.

Cheers. I dont really understand the hate either. Last year I was pulling for you guys to break into the top25.
If you guys win out I imagine you will be right up there with us. Better the conference does, the better we all do.

For the other people out there. 2 weeks ago you would post polls showing us below you. Now that has changed and its "well we've been there done that" or "your still not that good". Thats fine but we still are getting the Ws, I dont see you getting votes THIS year, and surprise this isnt the first time we have received votes either...thats right we got votes back in the FCS(2011). So whats your case again?

For the Cajun who is pulling for Navy over us... ****you. What happened to pulling for conference mates playing out of conference teams. Why pull for them when a win makes the Sun Belt look better.

Relax dude - you know full well you would cheer for any other team, even OOC over the Cajuns right now.

I always thought cheering for your own conference blindly was a bizarre phenomenon that was the exclusive property for SEC a holes.

Like when their fans start chanting S-E-C when they play other OOC. I understand that SEC is the almighty institution that makes their monopoly possible, but jeez conference pride over school pride, that's lame.

Votes in the Top 25 don't help the conference or quite frankly the school itself all that much unless it is a consistent achievement.

Hell multiple SBC schools have received votes in the past, I don't see it helping any of those programs win games on the field now.

Hell, did you know App St beat Michigan once, they should have the best program in the Belt due to the increased exposure and recruiting.

It is a nice recognition, but quite honestly, the season isn't over and I don't think ANY team has acheived any of their goals yet, or really done anything yet.

I think al lot of hate has been wrongfully attributed to cajun fans. Most of us recognize that GS is having a good year and it doesnt detract from what we're doing.

I think it fits the agenda to give us the black hat. So be it.

Most Cajuns will defend the program hard and I think that it get misinterpreted as disrespect.

Not disrespect for Southern Georgia, just a lack of respect for anything they have accomplished in the SBC yet.

Hey, if they happen to start smoking the Cajuns and stAte in all of the major sports this year, and sweep the Cajuns and stAte in a couple of years, then respect earned and deserved.

None of that has happened yet, I don't believe. Unless the SBC is awarding retroactive championships and wins based on tradition of excellence and such.

Sun Belt games are very hard to predict. Outside of Ga. State pretty much throwing in the towel at this point I could almost see any other team beating any other team. I do think the top 3 teams are definitely Louisiana, Ark. St. and Ga. Southern this year. We can argue all day long about who doesn't play who but the schedule is what it is. You will never know if Ga. Southern played Ark. St. or Louisiana this year who would win. It might depend on where the game was played also.

Every team can point to games they probably should have won but didn't or maybe should have lost but didn't.

Generally the Ga. Southern/Louisiana fued is being fueled by 2 things: over the top Ga. Southern fans and Louisiana fans who seem to want to downplay anything Ga. Southern has done this year.

Exactly, its to the point now, that most GS fans feel disrespected by the cajuns, but dont know why. they heard UL fans say this or that, when the truth is that all of the UL fans i have seen say GS is a good team, and a good add to the conference. and for the record, i dont think either fan base should expect another fan base that is undefeated in conference play to think they are anything other than in first place.( regardless of who is better)

I really think both fan bases clash, because we both defend our programs passionately, even to the point of creating enemies in our minds. fighting over who is the best when their is NO WAY to prove it, is just pointless. we all should want as many strong teams in this conference as possible.

I, for one, don't give two ***** what LaLa does OOC. If they win, cool. If they lose, whatever.

I do, however, care what happens in the conference.

{Yawn} Been there done that. You won't get ranked because you didn't actually win those games. Will one of you weirdos south of I-10 tell him?

Seems some Cajun fans are too jealous to recognize a good thing when they see it. Your new FCS add has a shot at breaking the top 25. Looking forward to November 22nd.

glad you got a vote. but while your trying to fan the fire of this pointless UL/GS debate, it should be noted ,that the comment was not made by a Cajun fan, sorry to disappoint.

GaSo got the luck of the draw and played Idaho, GaSt, ULM, South Al, Troy, Texas St and App St in the Sun Belt. Avoiding both teams that have won the conference championship for the last 3 years will always be met with skepticism.

Yall lost to a piss poor NC State team and a decent Ga Tech team. Boise St & Ole Miss would destroy both teams. stAte has played much tougher competition as well. So pound yall chest, I would, but yall have played a piss poor schedule.

You do realize GT is ranked and Boise is not, right? More Cajun logic I guess. And you conveniently forget about the 48-20 shellllllllacking by La Tech.

If we beat Navy and ULM, I think we have a good shot at being the highest ranked SBC team ever (Ark St 2011 #29). Not a bad feat as a transitional team that is essentially a FCS team as we have no Freshman or jucos contributing significantly and we have limited scholarships.

At this point, I'd like to see how the game between the Cajuns and Eagles would go.

Not trying to knock on either team, but Georgia Southern's team didn't strike me as "large" as the Bobcats, but I thought that when we played the Cajuns. I think the Cajuns offense would have their way with Georgia Southern's defense all day long.

Now, when Georgia Southern is on offense? That's the interesting one. Cajuns are BIG, but they didn't strike me as especially fast. That makes me think the Georgia Offense would have a really good day against the Cajun defense.

The kicker is... I think it's a night or day scenario... I think either Georgia Southern has a LOT of production out of their offense, or they have none. Which it is? I got NO clue. But I don't think it will be a "kind of" successful game for them on offense.

Boise State would destroy Tech? Nope.

Yes Boise lost to Air For e and Ole Miss. If the were in a P5 conference they would be ranked.

Most Cajuns fans respect those that have actually done something for this conference in terms of achievements such as championships, bowl games and wins, NCAA appearances and Top 25 finishes. I could care less about fans that talk smack to Cajun fans and their programs have done little to nothing for this conference. Or in their case, nothing to all to date. Cajun fans should take no crap from them period.

No disrespect to Georgia State but any team that struggles to win against the Panthers I simply can not compare to GS. Spin it any way you want. Teams have good days and bad days. Texas State is no Ga State. Right? What say you Texas State? Folks need to put down the cool aid.

Exactly the same that UL has accomplished to date.
