Easy to talk big when you know your words won't be tested. UConn fans need to keep their mouths shut until they finally get a little tradition.

You do realize that UConn has as many Bowl wins in the last 25 years as Memphis does...and they have only been D-1 for a few years. If I was a Memphis fan I wouldn't talk about tradition.

Let's not get carried away here.

Facts are facts. Deal with it. Since I've been alive UConn has as great of a football tradition as Memphis has in terms of bowl wins.

That's not my point. Louisville had absolutely zero tradition (other than maybe the fact Johnny U played there) until 1990.

1990 was 15 years ago. Miami and FSU were crap until the early to mid 80's. Virginia Tech was a nobody until the mid 90's. You guys who act like 15 years of sustained success is nothing have no perspective. Southern Miss has a nice little program that peaked in the early 90's. Every now an then they'll get into the top 25 but never sustain at a high level. Its the nature of their program and leadership. If it were not the case they would have advanced beyond their 25,000 fans and terrible facilities long ago.

15 years of sustained success????? Never let facts get in the way of your argument. Since 1990 Mount Cardinal season(btw who won the Southern Miss game that year) you have has 4 losing seasons including 1-10 (winless in C-USA) and 2-9. You have had Ron Cooper and a multitude of embarrassing blowout bowl losses to the MAC. Oh and you gave Army their only conf victory over anybody not named Tulane. Congrats on your sustained success!

uc vs. army, 2004.

Multitude? 3 bowl games, 2 vs. Marshall, Pennington and Leftwich and one vs. Miami OH and Rothlisberger. Hardly anything to hang our heads about. Ron Cooper was an abhoration. Other than that we've been successful. I know its hard for you to grasp.

Here's two of the losing seasons you referenced both Schnelly's, nevermind that one of Schnellenberger's was a losing season by one game as was one of Coopers. These seasons were sandwhiched by a 10-1 Fiesta Bowl Championship season and a 9-3 Liberty Bowl Championship season:

Wow I think you just broke the record for excuses and moral victories in the same thread. Congrats!

Youre telling me the last 15 years of football at UofL haven't been successful. I'm telling and proving that you're wrong. Get it?

St. Patrick Eagle Wrote:Oh and you gave Army their only conf victory over anybody not named Tulane.

If you are going to even act like you did any research, how about at least coming close to the truth.

Army beat 5 different CUSA teams (UH & Tulane multiple times) while in CUSA, not just UofL & Tulane. The fact that we went 5-1 against Army in CUSA (losing in OT in 1998) is worth about 0.00005% in trying to determine how long UofL has been successful. 1 game out of 15 seasons, yeah that means a lot!

i have great respect for memphis and southern miss football, but i'm damned if i can figure out why fans of those programs are lookin to pick a fight now with l'ville, on the bigeast board.

they're top 10.

they're bcs.

they're the model for any aspiring div. 1 football team.

they covered more ground faster than just about anyone.

what is your objective in this debate; to prove that in some distant era, the cards weren't as good as they are now? ok, stipulated. now defend your team against theirs for the last 3-5 years.

I try to be mostly objective and I agree with virtually everything that you say on this post. U of L is the model for going from a "have not" to a "have".....at least for those that covered so much ground so fast without going to ncaa jail.

Additionally, I've not said anything in this thread or any other post recently to pick a fight with any U of L fan and have never said anything to pick a fight with any respectful U of L fan. I think it's dumb for someone to come on someone else's board and start a fight.

However, when a thread carries the title this one does, anyone would assume that the originator of the thread is looking to pick a fight himself. What else would the originator of this thread reasonably expect?

I dont think the person that started this thread was looking to pick a fight. If there werent so many cusa fans on this board, then they would have never saw the thread, thus they would not have been offended by the thread. This is a BE board. We can post whatever we want about other conferences. Its not as bad as someone on the CUSA boards starting a thread about the BE every 3 or 4 days, which they do.

You do realize that 7 threads on your main board are about CUSA or one of its teams. All of them were started by BE folks.

Now go take a look at the cusa board, and see how many threads were started about the Be in the last 2 or 3 weeks.

The threads on our board are about BE expansion with the exception of a couple. Also, the threads on this board for the most part does not put cusa down, and they are not full of envious posts about CUSA failures.

Further, all of the cusa posts are silly, envious posts, where those folks are posting that they are better than the Be or that Cusa is on par with the BE.

Lastly, the threads about Cusa, are for the most part in response to some silly thread that cusa fans have previously had the galls to post on our board.

BTW; You need to recount those threads. There is only 1 thread that discusses cusa, and that is this one. The others basically are discussing whether or not USF and UCF should continue to play, and responding to the idot George Oliary.

Thanks Gruehls, I didn't take your comment personally.

It's just that the CUSA/BE thing will never die as along as folks from BOTH conferences stir the pot. I have no problem with rivalry/direct game threads, but "my league is better than your league" just gets old from both conferences. This particular thread was started to incite the same goofy bantor that's been going on for almost 2 years now. If we keep this up, pretty soon we'll all sound like those dilusional folks at Ohio State, Kentucky, and Tennessee...... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Of course if I didn't read this board, I wouldn't get offended. But it's kinda like checking that final grade on that course you know that you failed....can't look, gotta look, can't look, gotta look. Maybe "bozoing" the poster that started this thread would get the job done.

Post a link to any thread I started that has anything to do with the play of CUSA on your board. The only thread I started in recent history, as in months, questioned the quality of a win over North Texas because they can't beat anyone outside the sunbelt. I started this thread because our board was full of UCF fans last week claiming CUSA was on the level of the BE. It obviously is not.
