Everyone knows you've been a lot better than everyone else left in this conference, if they don't they are pretty blind. Your RPI is like top 40 on average the last 4 years. There isn't another school that's averaged above like top 100 at this point.

That's great, and when some of these other fans of schools like UAB or UNCC come out and say history matters or that you can't win with JUCO's and transfers I enjoy using you as a prime example since you didn't have much prior and that's what you have won with.

of leaving likely. Don't hire your basketball version of Ellis Johnson or Moken I guess. It might not be as easy to get as quality a coach as Eustacy (rehabing his image) or this guy (thinks 4200 fans and worst budget is "incredible support") with the 15th best conference with what you pay.

and we will never be dead last again in CUSA 3.0 regardless if that's even where we end up this year.

No, you will be dead last in another conference the same as C-USA........

It's not the same, and we've not been dead last the last few years playing with those other schools, and have very likely immediate impact players like a 4 star high school recruit and a starter from the ACC coming in thanks to the better recruiting avenues available now. There is a lot of help on the way. This is a bump in the road because of some quitters and season ending injuries.

Spin it how you want man.....

If SJ was our HC we'd be undefeated right now. Ya feel me?

Well, we know Lebo isn't going anywhere. Last place in CUSA can assure he won't be offered anything better than ECU.

I don't know about that but it doesn't take much coaching talent to go winless. That I do know. It wasn't really hard to see that the team played better with players like Richmond on the court than Shamar Bowden. Hey but Lebo above question on his rotations even with guys like Kemp and Richmond on the bench the last few years or even when HE blames size for our issues every game and continues to play a 6-3 guy in the post when he has a 6-9 guy sitting on the bench over half the game by choice, or the guy with a 7-1 wingspan the other. That makes sense you know given his own excuses.

ECU basketball has been offered something and is going somewhere though. Regardless of Lebo, long term we are positioned well either way with the new 4 star recruits open to signing with us after, increased revenue we are investing in our program in coaching pay, facilites etc. Maybe Tyndall would like a pay increase, larger budget and bigger fanbase, and to see our "incredible support" if that's the reason he says he's at USM. 4200 for a team that's been top 40 the last 4 years. You guys are rock solid for the future with foundational support like that he's hyping.

Yeah, it shows. Dead last. You'll be the turd of the AAC as well. A tradition of mediocrity that beats even ours.

I'm actually surprised our RPI didn't drop just from playing y'all.

lol yet another thread to the smack board.

Sorry. I like ECU and 90% of their fans....just SJ....freaking guy is delusional.

Yes, I'm delusional because I said we have more money and better support, as well as better future prospects now. Your own coach is the one that said your "incredible support" is what brought him to USM and it's not even as good as ours even this year.

We have a better program than you. We have beaten you 11 times in a row and 15 out of 16. Our last two seasons have been NCAA and NIT. You won the CBTIHMEDSAAA tournament last year and thought you had just climbed to the top of sh*t mountain. This year, you fell off said mountain and currently reside below every single other team in the league.

Our average attendance will probably be better than yours by the end of the season.

I've never said we've had a better basketball program than USM, quite the opposite actually. I've pointed out more than anyone on the entire board how much better you have been on average than every school in CUSA 3.0 the last few years. It's not even been in the same galaxy the last generation of college students with ANYONE in CUSA 3.0. Still I bet you couldn't find a single ECU fan that would rather take USM's, budget, fanbase, or life sentence in athletics and trade positions with you in anything moving forward.

Oh and even if your average attendance did us, how sad is your ceiling that this is the 4th year you have been an NCAA bubble team or in the NCAA's in a row and still draw like you do. You got bigger issues to worry about not only in basketball but in your entire athletic department. Go cash your body bag money.

UAB has the same exact prospects that you keep touting for next year. In this conference. An ACC transfer and a 4 star recruit. Your argument starts and ends there.

We usually draw much better when quality opponents come to Hattiesburg. But when the ECUs of the world come, it tends to lower our average significantly.

No it doesn't. Not when you can't afford to get your program a practice facility or pay your coaches like we do now. More revenues on the way as well as upgrades to Minges, as well as potential to pay more to get or keep coaches moving forward. Prospects wasn't just better recruiting prospects although that is part of it.

Not only more revenue from better TV and such, but more fans in the seats for marquee home and homes the next few decades. Something you can't even do as good as us right now, even with a gift home game from your coaches buddy. Wrap you head around that one for a minute and what you guys really are and the foundation you have relative to what you think you are. Yet you try to call me delusional.

Oh, I agree with you. I sometimes feel sorry for other ECU fans that have to call SJ one of their own.
