RE: Ga Southern announces it's staying in the SoCon
I'd think again before you slam a FCS program that rushed for over 300 yards and scored 21 points against the best team in the country. Two Southern players averaged 8.5 ypc or better and scored more points against Bama than any team last year...that includes top 25 Florida, Penn State, Arkansas, LSU (twice), and Auburn. Hell, Bama crushed North Texas (SBC) 41-0.

But, you won't think again because it's much more convenient for you to blurt out the first thing that crosses your mind.

Wasn't that the week after LSU part one and before Auburn? Hmm, I bet Bama spent about one hour of practice prepping for Ga. Southern. Come on, I know as a William & Mary guy you're more intelligent than that.
Funny thing is, I like FCS football, hell I'll watch Division II. Football is fun, but put FCS in perspective, the athletes top to bottom aren't as good, the size and speed isn't there. And in some cases, sure anything can happen (See JMU vs. VPI, Michigan/App, Richmond/Duke), but typically FBS is better. Even in the MAC, the caliber of player that gets recruited is completely different.

Bama played Miss State the week before.

Looks like Bama was preparing to me. Hell, there is even a youtube video of it. Any youtube videos of Bama preparing for North Texas last year? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhkoVdBXbIM

Top FCS teams give FBS teams as good of a game as most SunBelt schools. See Georgia Southern's solid outing against Bama while North Texas was absolutely manhandled and crushed. Wofford was down one late in the 4th against Clemson and lost 35-27 last year.

Let me know when ETSU decides to come out of fooball Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and start a new team.

The closest to Ga. Southern is Middle Tennessee at 67 percent. Simply put, calm down there chief. Get ready for Elon and Western Carolina.

Ga State is 87%.

You sure talk big considering your school's football program folded. That rarely happens. Extremely embarrasing. I wouldn't show face on a message board, much less look foolish enough to actually talk smack. When you are getting ready for ETSU women's volleyball in the fall, Ga Southern will be doing more of this.

http://www.annistonstar.com/view/full_st...--Southern

Awww you come up with that all by yourself? Wow, you must be a big boy now using ten year old smack that most ETSU fans (myself included) use to rail on our schools. And at the Division I level it's been us and Hofstra, while South Alabama, Ga. State, Old Dominion, Charlotte, Mercer, Stetson, Kennesaw State, Coastal Carolina and several others have all either announced football or are playing. How does it feel by the way to get passed by ODU and Charlotte? How's it going to feel when Kennesaw gets a team on the field and goes FBS, ahead of Jawja Suthan? Junior, I've watched Ga. So try and try to move up, but at the end of the day, it comes down to dollars that the Eagles will never have. If college football were like South Park, Ga. Southern would be Kenny.
Ga. State isn't in the Sun Belt yet, that's next year. When's Ga. Southern joining again? Oh, that hasn't happened yet.
Good luck with Western Carolina, I hear the Catamounts have a new coach.

Lol, Never seen someone whose program went Bankrupt talk so much smack. Your program is one of the 1/10th of 1% that actually folded. Yet you still talk smack. You are too funny.

We have a vote on the student fee in one month which will put our budget in the $17 million range which will be above the Sun Belt average.

How is the club rugby team looking at ETSU this fall? You may want to send them an e-mail reminder to pay their bills...don't want them to end up like the ETSU football program. LOL!

If you really don't think bama prepared for ga southern I would invite you to go look on YouTube for Sabans post game conference and spend the time to watch and come back and comment.

BucsLover,
Intelligence smack? Wow.
If you think for a second that Bama didn't prep for Southern, with the BCS championship around the corner, you're nuts. Coaches across the country, especially at Sabans level, work 17 hours a day prepping for their next opponent.

In the past 5 years, CAA teams have beaten 11 FBS programs and we're talking mostly ACC programs, not some scrub program from East Cupcake, Idaho.

Listen, we get it. You dropped football years ago after your program lost millions and your attempt to solicit private funds and increase student athletic fees didn't even cause a ripple. Have fun waiting for MBB season to roll around.

RE: Ga Southern announces it's staying in the SoCon
No, knowing how coaches typically operate, I'm certain he spent the majority of his time prepping for Auburn and a potential rematch. Bama stayed vanilla on offense and defense, and beat them more on athletes than strategy. Watch the game. Bama didn't do very much from a strategic standpoint. They didn't have to. Saban knew last year with a defense that had 11 guys that will see the NFL at some point in their lifetimes as a player he didn't have to scheme or gameplan for Ga. Southern. That's just how it is. FBS programs at the higher levels don't spend alot of time on it.
And yes, I've seen the Youtube video, all of Bama's practices are that way, and usually worse. For something like that to be on YouTube, you don't think a control freak such as Saban didn't have it put there on purpose? My goodness I really thought a Bill and Mary guy would be more, realistic I guess. Guess I was wrong.
Oh, and I'm sorry, a sandwich game with Misery State being the other team, a team that went to a bowl game.
And yes, I'm aware of the caliber of the CAA, JMU's win over VPI and Richmond taking advantage of Duke typically. Instead of East Cupcake, Idaho it was Durham, North Carolina.
And no, anyone who knows anything about FCS football knows from a true balance sheet NOBODY turns a profit. It's all propped up by student fees.
The debate on whether ETSU was bad with money or not isn't for this board, and like I said, I LOVE it when people try that because I'm well aware of ETSU's mismanagement of funds, hell I was there when it happened. They didn't lost millions, it COST ETSU one million per year to sustain football. There was no solicitation for private funds, ETSU athletics didn't have a true marketing dept/fundraising arm until about 2005, and even now it's a joke. The student fee vote in 07 was our former president's way to try to get a poor decision off his shoulders. He fell for a political move by the state of Tennessee, who was threatening to cut funding to everyone. ETSU dropped football more as a guinea pig politically and used the chip to get the College of Pharmacy, and the tennis coach who is still A.D. simply didn't know how to manage an athletic department. He still doesn't. I'm right there with all of ya, I talk more ish about my own alma mater than anyone else.
Last post for me on this, while I believe most CAA teams could probably move up, hell I always figured the CAA as a conference would just move to FBS eventually, but it hasn't. As for Ga. Southern, they'll vote that student fee in, increase their budget finally to be above my non-football ETSU and match the spending of App. State and probably Furman (no exact figures but I've always heard they're around 16-18 million, could be wrong there), but by the time Ga. So has the cash physically in hand to cover scholarships, travel, etc... will it be too late? We'll see.
And yes, I'm looking forward to basketball, 2-0 vs. the CAA last year (At Charlotte, JMU). Now, talk more about ETSU's lack of football, tell me more factually incorrect info, blah blah blah, where's your football. It's old and pathetic.
I can't believe you're discussing quality wins against the ACC in football. That's funny stuff.

RE: Ga Southern announces it's staying in the SoCon
While I agree they weren't preparing for us like they would Auburn or LSU, they were doing more than when they play the average FCS team. Saban didn't want to schedule us while he was at LSU. Take a look and listen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7GTiLzktK0

Oh, and by the way. The game was scheduled with Bama while we were NOT running the Triple Option under Hatcher.

I can't believe you're discussing quality wins against the ACC in football. That's funny stuff.

First of all, your belief that a HC from Bama wouldn't focus on the team's next opponent is comical.
Secondly, a FCS conference can't move up as a conference...each team needs an independent invitation.
Thirdly, my old and pathetic school has beaten Florida State, Cincy, Oklahoma, Houston, NC State, Temple, Wake Forest, Louisville, Rutgers, Southern Miss, Duke, East Carolina, Navy, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Maryland, and Arkansas. I'm discussing quality wins against ACC teams because that's generally who we play. Ask the University of Virginia how it felt when we smoked them in 2009 or ask North Carolina how worried they were when we were beating them late in the 4th quarter the following year.
Lastly, we'd drum you in football...oh, that's right, you're bankrupt so no football for you. No wonder you're so angry.

RE: Ga Southern announces it's staying in the SoCon
Just thought I'd throw this out there...

The school has fliers all over campus regarding the upcoming student vote on a $25 expansion fee to cover stadium upgrades, as well as the $75 "FBS" fee. (two separate items to vote for)


Nothing about this looks "High School" as many of you like to say. Once the student vote gets approved in the coming months, construction could start very soon.

Looks good, and I hope the students pass the new fees. Are most students in favor of them?

Word on the street is they are in favor. I think the positive part about it is they are technically only going to be hit with the $25 fee next year. That is only to be used for an addtional 6k in seats for students. They still will not have to pay to get in to the games. We desperately need those seats as the stadium was built when we only had 6k in students. Now we have over 20k.

The other vote for $75 is just for a move to FBS. it will be use for the additional 44 scholarships we will need for the move up. The students will only be charged this if and when we move up. It will not be used to just enhance our athletic budget if we stay at the FCS level. I think that goes a long way toward getting it passed.
