_ I'd also like to add that your team would get more respect had you been kicking ass since '03. The fact is that nothing has changed. You still only won 3 games while playing in the worst conference in America. _

What was the head-to-head record between the Belt and CUSA last year? How about the year before?

I don't really care. You're not playing CUSA, you're playing USM. And out of our last 10 games against "the Belt", we've won all 10.

You classified our conference as "the worst in America." Don't change the subject, answer the question.

_ Blah, sorry guys.
I missed my daily 'Chill Pill' dosage.

Just popped one and s'all good now. _

You take those orally?

2005 - we had a 6-5 record, shared the conference title and lost the tiebreaker to ASU, and finished the year on a 5 game winning streak. Had you seen us in the new orleans bowl instead of ASU, you would have alot more respect for us, or atleast I hope you would.

2006 - We finished 6-6, and in that season we beat the CUSA champion Houston.

2007 - The only time out of the last 3 years that we didn't have a non losing record.

If nothing has changed since 2003...you just haven't been paying attention. The last 2 years alone, the sunbelt has had a winning record vs CUSA, and until last year, we matched or eclipsed our win total from the previous season each year.

One last thing, Sagarin aims to disagree with the idea that the Sunbelt is the "worst conference in the world"

Last year we finished ahead of the MAC and only .35 points behind the mighty CUSA.

Thank you, I'll step off my soap box now.

We've played ten Belt teams?

I only recall 5 games (granted we won all 5). ASU (twice), North Texas, and ULL (twice)

[Jacob81]

_ You're an idiot.

The point was to say the USM would have at least one more point than LA. That's all I care about. _

Sorry, I took so long to reply( I was taking my idiot medicine). I understand you just wanna win by 1 point, but you still can't score 1 point in football game!!!.....1-0 oh man

[PR_Eagle]

I still think you're missing the point.

Of course I realize you can't score 1 single point, but we can have 35 and you can have 34.
Maybe I should've said, "The only margin I care about is 1-0"? Would that have made it clear?

NO, I think your missing the point.... are you a blonde?.......

I can't compete with your endless knowledge of football and brilliant analysis of Saturdays game. I was gonna go, I had tickets and everything but now that I've read all these posts of yours, with the help of some other knowledgeable USM fans, I'm gonna eat the tickets, stay home, and organize the old sock drawer...... get it ...... wink wink.

Not because I'm a Cajun fan, Because I'm an IDIOT.

  When Tyrell Fenroy heard where UL's football team was picked in the Sun Belt preseason poll, he merely shrugged.


Sixth in the eight-team league?

No problem.

Fenroy, who will likely become UL's career rushing leader by the third quarter of Saturday's opener at Southern Miss, found some extra inspiration from the low expectations by non-Cajun faithful. And, yes, the senior running back remembers the Cajuns went 3-9 last season.

"I just use that as motivation," Fenroy said of the preseason ranking. "Coming off a 3-9 season, we were expecting to be picked low. As far as motivation goes, we look at that every day like they're picking us to finish last.

My pleasure, Jerry.

I don't think it was the answer he was expecting.
