No, I was saying USM is the 2'nd coming of Notre Dame, Einstein, and how lucky CUSA is to have them in it and if the Big East could just get that Hattiesburg (sp?) TV market in it it would save their day. Didn't you read between the lines?
I will aslo add new entry La Tech best I can recall is the only one of present or future CUSA members who got a Top 25 ranking last Fall, too. Moral of Post: It seems we all sorta'
need to pull for each other than shoot each other and what some on this board call Sun Belt 2.0 down on a regular basis. Continue to bloom where planted? I see real legitimate and bonafide upside with the new CUSA, but what do I know, I've only been following NCAA football for over 45 years now.
Green Menace, sorry to correct you on this but North Texas is (3-2) against Boise St. We are correcting all that we need
to correct in Mean Green Country to get on a similar path as the BSU Broncos yet we are still obviously a work in progress, but
I do like the upside of what North Texas can do with wins even moreso than the Hayden Fry era when I was a student. All UNT constituencies
have tripled and some even quadrupled in size since the Fry Era in Denton and I'm talking enrollment, DFW alumnus number (now over 200,000), city of Denton
at 110,000 population and our home base of Denton County (part of the official 5 county DFW Metroplex) approaching 700,000 population.
DFW is a winners town (or market) so to speak and North Texas is the kind of school that can make winning and subsequent great attendance numbers
at Apogee Stadium become real hand in hand Texas 2-steppin' 'podnuh's (if you will). Seriously, most all of us from North Texas actually
admire what USM has done, but many of us and posters from other schools on this forum do get tired of a handful of their alum's condescending and
arrogant attitudes along with a continual put-down of the new CUSA. I'd bet there are now 1 or 2 who wished they'd never left it, but of course would never admit that
in a thousand years. Even the Tulsa U president went recently on record saying the same thing. (Now after his saying that watch them leave for the MWC)! LOL!
