Nice things aka BCS money? That was never going to happen in the first place.
We kept telling you that Ohio was a good team but saying they were going to go undefeated was premature especially considering their play the in the MAC this year. Since you are a Houston fan let me make it clear. When Houston played last year they made CUSA teams look really bad except UTEP and USM. USM was in the championship game and won so we will let that slide and UTEP could be a one game you did not play a well as you should. Outside of that Houston did not just win but dominated CUSA. Ohio has yet to dominate a MAC team yet and while the MAC looks good this year the level of team you seemed to attribute to Ohio in your previous posts would imply a team that is dominating their competition in the MAC. As it turns out our concerns over Ohio have been verified. Sadly due to the attitude of some this excellent season Ohio is having now feels like a let down despite being the best season they have had since they won the MAC oh so long ago.

Seriously, dude? Take your knife and go elsewhere.
OU loss not withstanding, C-USA is FBS's worst conference this year...you are lucky to be getting outta there, Eagle Green! And with the departure of the Coogs, Memphis, and UCF and a bunch of IA newbies coming in that league is only going to get worse. Again, I root for all the so-called non AQ conferences against the BCS cartel, but the insufferable superiority complex of the vast majority of C-USA posters is really hard to swallow. Especially with our former conference mate (or foe) Marshall posters over there and (for the most part) disparaging the MAC at every opportunity.

Well, our hard work will have paid off next season when we're fighting for a championship in our AQ conference. (Even if it's for only one year before they do away with them)
Fun Fact: Did 'ya know that UCF went winless in the MAC the year before they joined C-USA, and then won the conference their first year in C-USA that following year?

would that be the conference that went 4-4 against the MAC so far this year? Temple, Cincy, Rutgers

Doesn't matter. Where's the MAC's AQ bid? Oh wait...

Games earned are better than games given but even so I am not that worried about 1 more year of that conference getting an auto bid. Have fun losing an auto bid though I am sure that will feel great.

Where's Conference USA's? Where's the WAC's? Honestly there shouldn't be a Big East's either. Toledo, Kent State, and NIU all have worthy teams to play vs. the big boys. The BCS wasn't knocking at our door...ever. We're happy to be the face of non AQ, and have 4 teams with 1 loss.
The Big East is a joke. America knows it, the media knows it, but why not keep getting excited that your conference has "big" in its nomenclature, must mean something important right?
Why is the fan of a team that choked away its chance at a BCS bowl last year over here talking smack? And it was an ABSOLUTE CHOKE. It was win and go to a BCS bowl. Even if Ohio went 13-0, they weren't guaranteed a BCS bowl.
Paul Myerberg, from USA Today, wrote this on his Twitter feed, "The winner of the MAC should meet Louisville in early December for a spot in the BCS."

That is a pretty honest post.
But he should take a wait and see if Rutgers wins out. The will be Big East champ if they do.

I think he's on the down low. And losers flock to where winners are.

Not a joke.
Just not an elite conference.
Houston was basically Case Keenum, and thats about it, this season with out him the Cougs are meh at best. So the Big East is adding Houston and SMU sputtering into the conference, Memphis doesn't even have a pulse, SDSU is in the middle of the pack and the only two good teams The Big East are adding is Boise, and UCF. Boise isn't it's former self and UCF is looking down the barrel of a sanctions gun. Besides with the solid seasons UL, UC and Rutgers are having they will be doing their damnedest to get into the Big 12, Big 10 or ACC respectively. So you would be basically entering a springboard conference. I will say this though, I appreciate the fact that even though Ohio might have been picked on, after the Miami game you guys were right, in the end everybody still has Ohio's back when it comes to trolls like this. Hopefully this will bring bobcat nation back to earth. Before I forget, congrats to exCiny and other Miami fans on here, you guys obviously wanted to win that game more, and good job Kent! See you at the Convo and at Peden next year Miami fans.

Go troll somewhere else.
Guys, he's a North Texas fan, and he's trolling you all so hard, someone call a mod and move this to smack or ban the fool.
