Looks to me like Lafayette is on the right path with a good coach but I get the same puzzled look telling people ULL is in our new conference as ULL people probably get mentioning Southern.

You have no clue as to our attendance over the years...if you are going to comment about UL at least get the facts straight..

No we don't talk about App State arrogance, just GaSo. We have never averaged below 10K for a season never during out 1-11 year. We are also one of the Top 3 programs in the Sun Belt since 2003.

Look we get it, GaSo was he big kid on the block in FCS, but let me tell you something 6 teams from the Sun Belt last year would have won the FCS Championship with just the two deep.

You guys had 65 points laid on you by a team that went 7-5 during the regular season. We never get ramrodded that bad by much better SEC teams.

I don't think the old SBC members get it as much as the new. The CUSA, AAC, SBC, MW, MAC pissing contest with each other is over.

You think the average Joe knows the difference between La Tech, UL-M, UL-L, Florida Atlantic, and Northern Illinois?

We're all just "one of those other schools" from "one of those other conferences" until we defeat a C5.

Kudos to all the G5's who can claim that, but beating each other up trying to see who the tallest midget is seems counterproductive.

My experience with Georgia Southern is watching a school prove itself through the disrespect of Boise, ULM, MTSU, stAte, Furman, App, Nevada, Montana and others. This move is like starting all over again facing the same bunch who was looking down their noses at us 30 years ago, though I'm sure it's mostly a new set of fans who weren't around back then.

Good luck to all the G5's in whatever conference. 10 years from now, we'll probably be taking about the differences between the paid players in C5 and the scholarship players in the rest of college football

Go play @ any Big XII power and you will be singing a different tune. Three of their 5 losses were to #7 Texas, #2 Kansas St, and #13 Oklahoma in OT.

You guys got that ass beat by UGA 45-14. UGA had the easiest SEC schedule out of anyone in the SEC.

You mean the UGA team that was 5 yards from beating Bama and the national championship? Had it not been for a phantom chop block call with a minute to go in the first half, we would have been leading them 14-10 at the half.

Meanwhile , you guys were losing 44 - 0 at the half to Ok St.

I would not trade our situation for Marshall. Marshall is the #2 school in a small state with zero FBS talent. The ceiling for Marshall in FBS will always be low. At least we are located in one of best recruiting spots in the country close to Atlanta and Central Florida.

Big 12 offenses are totally different from SEC offenses. Big 12 offenses are built to score many points while SEC are built to get the ball and grind it out. When MT played at Oklahoma in 2006 they smashed our teeth in 59-0. I can't recall any SEC team doing that to us. The closest I can think of off the top of my head was MS State last year beating us 45-3. And you're talking about OK St. They have had prolific offenses for years now. They would definitely beat GA South like they did UL, if not worse.

Have fun saying HI to Liberty as a conference mate. Also Lamar. Been to Boone, don't ever wanna go back. Im not a big nature guy.

If and when ULL and ASU are snapped up by CUSA it will set the Sun Belt back to their infancy. It will also force the Sun Belt to get a waiver to play football. Because leaglly they wouldn't have 8 full IA football members.

BTW Charlotte, Norfolk/Hampton Rhodes and San Antonio are a lot better destinations than punduk Boone NC.

I doubt it. We would control the ball and keep their offense off the field much more. They would score no doubt, but have much fewer opportunities.

Look to your left and now look to your right. App has moved up, your former conference members have left you.

We'll now have 85 scholarships, looking forward to playing those mighty CUSA programs OOC. You might want to read those words in that side view mirror.

Says the guy from Huntington WV. Don't worry about the Sunbelt, they will be fully stocked without waivers. Look forward to Marshall coming back to Boone in the very near future... You all still call your band "the Big Green Marching Machine"? Nothing screams "big time" like that. Heard that coal is on the skids up there? Where are all your new graduates going to find work?

In all seriousness. If Middle can stop Georgia Techs offense, anyone in the Sun Belt can stop GA Souths. The Sun Belt has offenses that score quickly and often. You'll see if you guys play UL, stAte, and Troy.

I've never been a big fan of Troy (no offense to Troy), but I actually truly do feel sorry for them being stuck in a conference with these delusional georgia south maniacs. GABA! Or whatever.

That's an assumption, not a fact. You guys won big on Tech last year and lost big to Tech in 2011, that's a zero sum gain.
You guys really hang your hat on that Tech win, which is a hoot because y'all also lost to McNeese State. That big win in the ATL doesn't mean anything when you blow one to an FCS. Like I said zero sum gain.

C-USA is considering expanding to 16 teams. And guess where its next expansion is coming from, probably the Sun Belt again:

"Arkansas State or Louisiana-Lafayette from the Sun Belt, which has lost several teams to C-USA, could be attractive options."

"Adding two more teams could be preventative in a way -- if the Big Ten raids again, then the ACC takes from the AAC, the AAC takes from C-USA. Going to 16 now could cut out the middleman."

"Reacting to a national website story regarding potential Conference USA expansion, UL athletic director Scott Farmer said Monday that the Ragin’ Cajuns have interest in joining a 16-member C-USA."

"UL officials have worked quietly the last year-and-a-half to study, and position themselves for, a possible conference move."
