What could have been if you had only been indifferent to SBC western members the last 20 years.

Who said they were? Appalachian State hasn't been Division 1-A for that long, so who are you to say? Or maybe you're just a follower instead of a free thinker?

Thanks, the Sunbelt hate comes straight from the mouths of ULL and ULM posters. They have created that monster. Tech fans as a whole respect the hell out of the Sunbelt and what they have done as a conference. They have strong leadership which CUSA has lacked. Tech chose its own path which wasn't intended as a slight to others. Just because you don't do what others want you to do doesn't mean that you don't respect them.

So just those 2 schools? And ltu has not done anything to help foster the ill feelings of those 2 schools and
other schools, conferences?

Nope, we just think you guys are a bunch of cheating douche bags who don't know your real name. ULM is just a small neighbor we have old history with. No hard feelings there.

Got it. One other question for you: I know Tommy M has been gone for over a year now but are you aware of any person from ruston, the school, the boosters or fans, that have ever, either publicly or privately, taken any steps to distance themselves from that presser he did in 2019?

App pushed for ODU and JMU and the Western schools didn't push back with an established program in their back yard. The administrators at those schools preferred an FCS call up four states away.

You talk to your conference mates? The institutions? You, the message board poster talk to ULL and ULM the institutions? Like, the whole thing? What's ULL's number?

I do speak directly to university officials. The conversation that I'm told occurred (stated above) is backed up by the actions taken.

I got a question for you. When "T-Joe" Savoie was hired as President then had a bio in their media guides that said he was a graduate of Columbia University. Years later, when George O'Leary and others were caught up in the resume scandals, they quietly changed T-Joes' bio to say "Columbia Teacher's College" where hee got his Ph.D. in the early 80s or late 70s through. Does it bother you that your own president is a lying resume padding crook?

How about that death penalty for their basketball program in the early 70s to the large cash payments made to recruits in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s within your basketball program?

That's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sleaze.

Did you not get the memo? Last summer every single Tech graduate, student, employee, fan, and the all the animals at the Tech farm all held a secret meeting about it. We discussed it and our feelings for hours, wept together, held hands (it was a big circle), sang some songs about it (written specially for the occasion).

Now, granted, those important "steps to distance ourselves from that presser" were taken privately (you know, as privately as a many thousands of attendee event can be), but I would have thought our devoted ULL friends would have heard about it.

I guess in hindsight we should have notified the various fans on the sunbelt message boards (who talk to, support, love, and nurture one another) and then we wouldn't be in this predicament.

Darn it. If only.

You guys for La Tech have a lot thicker skin than me. I have no tolerance for Suck Belt fans especially here who sojourn away from their safe space of a messageboard to come here to talk smack and derail topics. It's the same ones too every time.

Thanks for telling us all about it! It's been awesome. Very helpful. When the personified versions of all these schools are next together, give them all a big high five for collectively avenging their grievous injuries.

ULL fans are far less brave in person. I get along with what ULM fans I know. My wife graduated from there and so did my grandparents, but they just don't have the following. Most ULL fans never went to college, just Walmart. They root for ULL because they culturally identify as Cajuns. At least the ULM fans I know went to school there.

Ok. Yet another non-answer to a simple question and instead just more BS attempts thrown out to try to deflect from the issue.

And you were my last hope in getting an answer to that question. We can now state unequivocally that no one from ruston has ever tried to walk-back the words from that presser. That means it was and remains the official stance of ltu. So at least we know that when it someone tries to shrug it off as just something the former ad said we can all know that is factually incorrect.

I'm sorry you don't like the results of your university's actions. Believe me or not, it won't change the outcome.

I don't give an eff what some dude who was half way out the door said about the Sunbelt or your chitty school. Deflect this.. Your mother! Now carry your whiny arse back to the belt board where you belong.

I just told you about the meeting!

We'd have invited you if we would have known you were so interested.

Since your university officials in the trailer park of Boone apparently know everything, please explain exactly what actions allegedly occurred. I'm certain whatever La Tech did, there was a reason for it. No one school is 100% free of fault. La Tech may not have done everything cordially, but they wouldn't be the only ones.

Personal insults are a nice touch, wonder why you guys can't make friends.

Is this how you always react when someone tells you difficult truths.

I'm still waiting to know what actions were allegedly taken? App State hasn't been 1-A for the length of time you specified, so it's safe to say whatever your officials were told, jt was very likely hearsay with a 100% Lafayette slant.

They sure do make me feel better. I don't want to be your friend. I want you to go away. Difficult truths are part of life. WE know who we are and the path that is in front of us. It is what it is. However the constant barrage of Sunbelt posters flooding our message board with constant insults and mischaracterizations of who Tech is gets on my last nerve. We can't even follow a thread without you termites gumming it up with the same ole propaganda. As a good Christian, I am obligated to apologize for the name calling. That doesn't mean I didn't mean it, just that I shouldn't have said it.
