how many fans you bring to Hattiesburg MS is NOT a factor in conference expansion....

It is in my world.

It won't happen. You might have one vote with USM, but the other eight don't give a damn about you because there are so many other candidates better than you.

No, that's why we don't want La Tech in CUSA.

& you know this for a fact? I didn't realize you were inside the minds of the other school presidents. Can you tell me the winning lottery numbers while you are at it?

I don't see Memphis on our schedule. I do see La Tech. They are going to hang a big number on us next year.

UTSA is just starting out. UTSA doesn't even have practice facilities. UTSA has never played an FBS team.

I'd be shocked if we were in any conference above the WAC/MAC/Sun Belt in the next 5 years. It's going to take us a while to claw our way up the FBS ladder.

I'd take no one at all and stay at nine before taking a crap school like La Tech.

Because the school sucks, their athletic program sucks, the city sucks, and most of all........their fans suck.

Last I checked, this was a CUSA board and YOU'RE IN THE WAC.


GTFO Troll.

Then why do you keep starting threads about LaTech?

I don't get the hate either. Wouldn't be too happy if it were BE talking about us that way, oh wait. I think La Tech is a good program. Don't understand some being harsh about it, but that's just me. I try not to call schools "crap" and "podunk", doesn't help promote civil debate and usually just starts more **** slinging .

This is reason enough to keep them out. They don't even deserve to be in the Sun Belt with these crappy numbers.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

Old enough to know you're not now, nor will you ever be, a serious expansion candidate for CUSA.

Have to call bullshat on this one ERC. Tulane in 99 brought 20 times the amount Tech did.
