GaSouthern does have the advantage of a winning tradition and history against teams like WKU, Troy, MTSU, and FIU BUT we would NEVER be one of the first three schools chosen by the SBC. App State, LaTech, TxState and UTSA all make more obvious candidates.

With that said, I hope that we get a honest look and shot at making the jump.

Troy and Southern? what is the fan/rival situation for you guys? I know App State has played Troy/WKU/MTSU before in the last 15 years.

Troy WAS our third biggest rival after MTSU and Furman back in the 80's. They are also one of the only schools to have a winning record against us thanks to them dominating us in the 1930's. (Appy also has a 1 or 2 game lead against us as well)
