No big surprise here, when the SBC east threw the west the USM bone with the last realignment, the dye was cast. The SBC west leaders got all tingly over USM while the adds weren’t 50/50 east/west. Again, at the feet of the commissioner, who oversaw this.

Don’t worry, JMU is just an over inflated Louisiana Tech. Big boys will slap them down. JMU fans collectively has spent a lot of time on the SBC board throwing ULM under the bus. They need to stop. That’s UL’s job!

If that is the conference we are relegated to in 2030, I am out.

I'm old enough to remember the last days of our SLC time. It was a lot of fun too.

Yeah it was. Our group was the one in Blackham with the “mail the trophy” banner when DICK Oliver the SBC Commissioner showed up to present the trophy.

Sounds like it used to be so much easier to find or make banners.....

Amazingly, we got cheered that night when we held it up. Nobody even attempted to stop us. Today, would be some type of banned for a period of time situation.

We even addressed the Commissioner by his first name only…

We (UL fans, but specifically I) are getting closer and closer to wanting to be "out".

Outside of a conference move, I’m pretty much done. There is zero focus on advancement of this athletic program. We aren’t trying to climb the ladder of FBS conferences and are way to comfortable in the SBC.

Hell, we want to be with the bottom dwellers in academics as well. Typical small time bull____.

It feels like an IceGator death spiral.

Nobody needs to throw them under the bus, it is their own job, or the job of the bus
