CCU fans get to know your new conferencemates
Here is a quick breakdown on the teams you will be joining
App St - goat lovers who love to complain, you made them happy cause you are a travel partner. JK i kid, it was too easy. In reality they are a great team you know a lot about. Stacked this year and could make a run for the top. Great tradition and top rivalry in the conference with GS.
Arkansas St - One of the "top two" teams in the Belt along with ULL. They hire great coaches that leave after a year (except last year, he ruined the cycle).
Arkansas Little Rock (or are they just Little Rock now??) - one of two non-football schools. Won't hear much of them until basketball season where they are generally decent. Good group of fans.
Georgia St - what can we say. they are Southerns favorite punching bag and haven't won a FBS game yet. They dropped money (vouchers) from the Georgia Dome ceiling to attract fans. Doesn't work. This will be the year right??? PS they are good at basketball.
Georgia Southern - you know them, ran the conference somehow last year, full of trash talk and the team backed them up, to ULLs dismay (but they didn't play ULL or stAte so who knows if they really are so good? Am I right???)
Idaho - Football only, play in an airplane hanger, people complain about their team traveling there even though for many it is once every four year (like thats a big deal)
ULL or Louisiana as they like to be called (don't call them Lafayette, or do its fun). God's gift to the SBC. Fans a lot life GS but with better food. Tehy were crappy for a long time but turned around the ship and have the best attendance and support in the conference. You like baseball or softball? This is your team to emulate.
ULM - They are supported by the guys from Duck Dynasty. Oh and they are P5 giant killers.
NMSU - Another football only team searching for some wins but they do have AggieVision. It is the greatest (worst) team network know to man. Cheesy and misinformed commentators? check Hilarious local commercials? check. God we their basketball team.....
South Alabama - don't think they are new to the conference just because their football is new, they have been in the SBC a LONG time. Stadium isn't theirs and they hope to one day have one of their own (don't hold your breath)
Troy - The old guard. The unsung giants of the SBC early days. Then they kept their coach past his expiration date and tanked. Shouldn't be down for long with their new HC/ Watch for them to gain ground quick.
TXST - The ultimate underachievers. Every year they are bowl eligible and every year they are left out of bowls. Oh also they are home to the best stadium and the hottest girls in the conference.
UTA - the other non-football team. They have a football stadium but don't be fooled it's been empty since 1985. They have the best basketball arena in the conference.

TXST- constantly hungover as the party school of Texas. Say they have the best girls in the conference, but who knows when they have on sooooooo many beer googles on and suffer from Whiskey D. Oh and their baseball somehow manages to be just a bit better than ours, regardless of how good we are in a given year.

Yes, by all means please do. Just kidding. When they announced the feasibility study a couple of months ago, they weren't just kidding. There are probably two bowl games involved in this to go along with the University's desire to have an OCS. I'd put the odds at better than average that a stadium is announce by the end of football season.

The only continuing founding member of the original (1976) Sun Belt Conference that is left.
Georgia State was also a founding member, but they left and later returned.

Don't forget, ULaLa likes to claim superiority, yet has never won the football conference outright.
Also, learn the history behind the Bubas Cup, which South Alabama, also known as South, USA, or if ESPN is involved, SAL, won last season.

RE: CCU fans get to know your new conferencemates
I have one request for all the CCU fans coming on board.
Please, please, don't turn every thread into a CCU vs ?? pissing match.
We already have GS fans turning every thread into a GS vs ?? pissing match.
