Sunbelt poll

Because its in freaking Boone, NC. Getting to Statesborough, GA is easier and travel to Statesborough was listed as a detriment. It may be convenient for WKU but its going to be a _____ for our spring sports travel budgets with nothing in return financially. And that great fan base that doesn't have anything else to do on a Saturday other than go down on Bob's Knob isn't going to travel here so they bring nothing to the table. At least with FIU or FAU you got a trip to Miami and the Gold Coast.

That's the EXACT same thing people say about us.

Really? You want to provide a link to back that up or are you just pulling crap out of your ___ again?

I chose the lesser of all evils. NMSU.

Me too

I was their....(as a KofC volunteer) SHSU had about 7-8k. NDSU had 12-14k. NDSU has a cool fans base. I have to add that NDSU had surprisely nice looking female fans. I lot of Scandinavian influence if I were to guess.

Back to my point.....No way to Sam Houston. They were mostly done just after halftime......even had to ask some why leaving, trying to be encouraging "have to hold the rope". I think they went smoked a few instead. School is close to be being about the same size as UL....few students at game & only a 3 hour road trip.


I have to bite my lip but I have a preference but I am hesitant to say cause I'm out of beer. This is very depressing to even think we are transitioning back into the SLC again. From work years ago I had a chance to spend a few days in Statesboro. Not far from Savannah. It's closer to Savannah than Tech is to Shreveport. It's a nice town. I'm heading to Kroger for those beers.

Aim low sheriff, they're riding Shetlands...

I suspect that the schools that eventually get into the Belt do not want to be there when it all breaks up next year.

[Oiler]

It won't all break up, but I do believe that the NBE, MWC, and CUSA will each end up adding several new members. As long as UL gets a spot in one of those, we'll be fine. Anyone still in the Sun Belt when this ends won't continue to play at the FBS level for long.

Want to know the saddest part? The "leaders" of this university just don't get it. They take money from athletics to fund academics when athletics is the best advertising your university can get. Athletics increases admissions, creates brand awareness, and increases donations to the alumni association. Pride?! Duh.

When is the last time 50,000 people drove hours, booked hotel rooms, packed restaurants and drank the French Quarter dry to see an English professor? Duh?!

Sorry we have an airport right here and we have interstate that runs from Houston to New Orleans if you do not want to fly into Lafayette. It is much easier to get here than is Boone, North Carolina. Beautiful country around Boone, but you have to be going there to get there.

Geaux Cajuns!!

That's the EXACT same thing people say about us.

Absolutely untrue. They say derogative things about UL, but that is not one of them. Do you know why Lafayette is referred to as the Hub City? We have one of the easiest vehicular paths east/west and north/south in Louisiana... if not the southern states.
