Nice fluff piece though.
"Sun Belt opponents will undoubtedly spend the next few seasons attempting to familiarize themselves with the pride and passion of Georgia Southern."
Yeah, opponents are going to spend a lot of time doing that.

Like I said, he was being diplomatic. Maybe he should have said "trying to come to grips with"

That's what I was thinking. I think people here have gotten a preview of our impressive and often annoying exuberance on this board.

Texas State also got some publicity lately lol

No. The main guys are graduates of Elon and Armstrong.

Armstrong.... that has no football... that is in Savannah... that is an hour away from Statesboro... and started a college football site.

Got it. My bad.

Most Armstrong students are UGA fans. There's a weird relationship between Georgia Southern and AASU that is not exactly all buddy-buddy. The Armstrong guy is definitely not an Eagles fan and does not follow things in Statesboro personally.

My wife is an Armstrong grad (btw it's actually just ASU now. They've officially dropped the 'Atlantic' from their name). They really do have some kind of grudge or something against GSU. I'd always wear my GSU hats/shirts when I went to see her and got some strange looks. And a couple of her professors there have actually voiced some disdain for GSU when I was around. Just don't get it.
