I don't think Appy or JMU have ever had an invite anywhere. We now know that Charlotte did have an invite to the SB. It was publicly declined 2 days before the CUSA offer was accepted. If there was no exit fee to the SB and Appy had an invite to the SB then they are crazy if they don't accept it.

The only other FCS schools approached by CUSA were Delaware and JMU. That was mentioned in an article by Brett McMurphy several weeks back. So we know there was at least some initial interest for them. They didn't make the cut this go-around but might make the cut in the future. After looking closely, I like what Delaware has to offer.

at least I can look at Cobb's face and not turn to stone with that "thing" you guys have for an AD.
That "thing" got us an invite to C-USA one accomplishment corn cob has yet to do
You honestly think that "thing" did more than any other AD?
You were a former member, and you are sitting in a big market. All the people who are involved in realignment have said that time and again.
That is all NINERS
I just find it funny corn cob going from radio station to station begging an FBS conference to take them. If I was a C-USA comm. I would tell corn cob to do us all a favor and STFU

Name one instance that he begged for a conference invite? I can provide links for all the most recent sports shows he was on BTW.
You are just trying to get your post count high throwing crap out on a message board.

If you would actually talk to us instead of constantly insult and belittle our school and accomplishments, you'd see a whole new side to our fan base. Do I really need to bring up this guy?
You have absolutely no room to talk Apphole/Dr. Gonzo. This isn't AnyGivenSaturday and if you want to come tout your program on a conference board your school is not a member of you should expect some heat.

Ummmm excuse me Mr. Biased MOD.....you may want to re-read the thread. You started the smack before he ever posted anything smack related while this thread was general discuss. You caused this thread to become smack and then moved, isn't your little duty here to remain above the ash and trash?

The thread was moved to Smack because that is what it became. This is a CUSA board, a CUSA Smack board. You App fans are visitors here, so when you want to engage Charlotte fans, don't be surprised when it winds up in the Smack forum. Also, moderators don't give up their fandom simply because they're moderators, we have a right to our opinions as well, and this thread should have been moved to Smack a long time before it was. All the mods here try to let the threads go on the main board as long as possible, but this one was well past its prime. If you consider the picture of your "airport" and its comparison to a similar airport smack, that's on you.

I'm sorry I figured out 49RFootballNow's real name, used it a great deal in posts and he edited those for content as you can see above. He prefers that his name not be on the smack board. Sorry again! Maybe he should keep that name of his private a little better.

1. Douche move calling Uh-Huh out. It's ok, though... talk about him all you want. You'll never steal his joy... he won't let you. He's a bigger man than you are.
2. Don't want to deal with it? Fine. Go away. Take your schtick to the Sun Belt board.
RE: The Stampede: Appy State Athletic Director interview
I know Appy fans like to talk about there back to back to back national titles, its something you should be proud of. But heres a lil tid bit, no one at the IA level cares. And no one who has always been at the IA level watches. To most of them you just might as well be a NAIA team.
I love how Appy fans come here and talk crap to Charlotte. But you would give your left nut to be in their shoes. And you know it.

If I remember correctly Marshall's line of effort sounded very familiar not all that long ago for a MAC invite.......interesting what you guys have done with that in CUSA.

Are you even serious? That was 1995, were you trolling Marshall fans on a Delphi Listserv?
Believe me we didn't want the MAC, but that's all that was available and if I'm not mistaken (and I'm not) we proved our point once we were in.

We applied to CUSA in 1995 and 1996. We actually had the votes in 1995 until Denny Crum (Louisville basketball coach) started belly aching that we were not a good fit. That got Memphis and UAB to change their vote. We were extended a football only invite then. We should have taken the football only invite and put our olympic sports in the CAA or even ASUN.
Our big screw up was actually in 1992 though when VA Tech left the Metro standing at the alter and went to the BE. We were given a standing invite to the Metro at the time, and didn't take it. Who knows were our basketball program would be now if we would have accepted it.
