Most of our "insiders" don't post here.

Not a bad thing.

Just speculation on my part but I would guess that the FOIA request that the App St fan filed a few weeks back caused everyone that was even thinking about leaking something to clam up.

GaSo is in the deep south mind you and our history of not telling people where the still is does have a tendency to cause us to shut up pretty quickly when folks come snoopin around.

Just heard from my Coca-Cola buddy in Statesboro... The SunBelt announcement is happening Wednesday... Congrats to Ga Southern, and good luck for many years to come!

My six year old cousin in Montana just hooked me up with some sweet info.

Georgia Southern and Iraq are joing the SBC.


Mark it zero.

I am from Montana, and I think it's sick that you'd have a conversation with a 6 year old little boy.

And now the pieces come together. Glad this is finally happening.

Sounds like Southern was the first domino.

Congrats to App State as well...

Tommy Bowman is our beat writer in the Winston-Salem Journal. He isn't one to jump on rumors or make unfounded predictions. If he says we're going, we're going.

Looking forward to developing some new rivalries while being able to continue our rivalry with Georgia Southern.

For what it's worth, I don't think Jax St is far behind, maybe a couple years.

Welcome southern and app to the big time.

I will definitely be bringing the family to Boone for some road Jag games. Can't wait!!!

Why u think that? I disagree.

And to think that just roughly a year ago I loved this conference...

Or they have more leaks.

Stay positive my friend. I know it's not what we had, but there's a lot of potential for some great stuff.

Just the way I see things going. Southern Miss gets pulled into TCFKATBE, and that's opens a spot for South in C-USA. That leaves a hole for JSU to get the invite into the SBC.

I say that, but I would actually rather stay in a conference with Troy, Appy St, Ga So. If USM were to leave C-USA, that takes the whole reason I want in that stinkhole of a conference.

The SBC will surpase C-USA and possibly TCFKATBE for good.

Appy St and Ga So are better adds then the F_U losses. The conference will be better for it.
