Wow! You believe in winning? Winning will solve all our problems. As far as this poll, I believe the Belt was stronger this year than previously believed. We need to put some OCC skins on the wall for the league to get respect..~.

Couple of things about winning cures all. First you are right winning solves most problems, not all, but let's not nit pick. Second thing about winning? You don't go to the America's Cup with a sail boat. You have to work to get the right yacht, and crew. Simply having a bazillion dollars does not guarantee you will be competitive, but if you haven't got a bazillion dollars you will surely fail.
Point about OCC games? Yes we need OCC skins, and we had a great year as a conference going 4/3 against a more established CUSA and a similar record against the MAC teams.
Getting a win or multiple wins against BCS caliber teams is a whole other can of worms. Those guys hate to play each other on the road. LSU measures their opportunity of success by how many of their perceived tough SEC opponents are on the road. There is a reason these schools spend thirty plus million dollars a year on athletics, and have a game on television almost every Saturday. Those are the recruiting tools they use, like that yacht vs a sail boat thing.
Sun Belt teams almost by definition have to play too many BCS schools because those are the teams that can provide the cash to help them support the programs. The BCS schools need us to pad their win loss column and we need them for the dollars our fans do not provide. BCS schools in general have loyal fans who understand if they do not all chip into the programs their teams will not be successful.
Have a great week 90. Only 8 plus days until you can watch your Cajuns start two a days.
