No, if we broke off and created a new conference with latech, usm, stAte, wku, mtsu, rice, txst, usa etc... It would increase our revenues and you could call that conference whatever you want. If stAte is perfectly happy and content with staying in the SBC thats fine. I know what would excite our fan base and move us forward, I don't claim to know those things about your institution. A large contingent of our fan base/donors are not very happy where we are for many various reasons.

You were with MTSU, WKU, stAte, USA, TXST and unhappy...why would a new name for that suddenly be such a boost?

Is it Rice and USM that are so exciting to Cajuns? Is it LaTech?
I was happy with those schools, you can't show me where I ever said I wasnt. We were never with all of those schools at once either. Yes, being within 3 hours of rice, latech and usm does excite me as a fan. I'll never drive to Boone or statesboro or atlanta for a game.

Ah, so its driving distance that is the magic ingredient. Good news for ULM I guess.

This conference could surpass CUSA, we could get the G5 bowl slot, our budgets could average the same as CUSA....and I suspect your fans would still want out because they want external validation...to be "picked".

Non of those things put me within 3 hours of Boone, stateboro or atlanta do they? I don't see why the rest of you care so much, let us move down to CUSA and you all can work on being the next P5 and rise together and laugh at us for being so stupid. I would think you would all great great pleasure seeing us make such a dumb move. With us gone you might actually get to finally go to New Orleans.

For stAte it will never matter what league yall are in. You guys are number 2 in Arkansas by default and don't have any competition for that claim. So the Sun Belt brand doesn't hurt or help your program.

In La we have ULM, LaTurd and Tulane to compete with that number 2 spot behind LSU. So being in the "perceived" lesser conference to two of the three is a huge hurdle we have to deal with regarding respect within our own state. If we were in the AAC/CUSA/MWC it would be about recent performances not perceptions. That's not our situation, we have to overcome perceptions.

Throw in the fact that in CUSA we have 3 close opponents, and ULM would likely stay on our schedule, would give our fans the opportunity to attend many more games.

If desperation, rending of garments, and tearing out of your own hair plays a role in who CUSA picks then you should be a lock.

And honestly, if you guys are so certain that you are going nowhere until you get into CUSA...maybe it would be better if we replaced you with someone who has some self-worth larger than what conference they are in.

By all means, replace us.., please. Liberty has tons of self worth. I certainly don't need stAte's authorization to know where I'd like to go conference wise right now. If you can't understand why we would rather be associated with schools that are in our region that we have history with as opposed to schools who aren't and we don't then I don't know what else to tell you. I still don't see why any of you care

Do what Boise did and you are #2. A Tulane stinking it up in the AAC will not be #2 over you in the SBC if you do that. A LaTech in CUSA will not be #2 over you in the SBC if you do that.

You are what you do....not what conference you are in. The only way conference truly and ultimately matters is between G5 and P5.

You base too much on "perception". At the start of the season your perception was the stinking lousy sorry FCS midgets coming in would damage your brand but in truth one of them did well out of conference and was sole champ and the other beat you on your home field when they got their legs under them.

Any perception damage for A-State and ULL this year was more about A-State and ULL than about the Sun Belt.

Until you ask for millions of dollars in personal checks and try to get casual fans interested and buying season tickets to play schools they have no familiarity with. Why do you care... I know the answer, if you are man enough to answer it honestly.

Not a problem for us. Just understand that they will have a hard time getting their stadium to 24,000 seats and they have a smaller budget than NW State or McNeese or Lamar or Stephen F. Austin or Sam Houston.

I don't brag about being the fastest fat kid, why do you care? Why do all of you think you know our situation better than we do? Seriously, why do you care that we want to leave?

I think the reason we care is because your illusion that the SBC and its members are at the root of why you aren't glorious....is counterproductive for everyone else.

If it's that bad....then cut the anchor and go independent. Free your damn selves. If its not that bad then work on getting out in silence without trashing the house and making it unpleasant for everyone else.

I've never trashed anyone or any school but you keep insisting on telling me what's best for us and what we should be doing. Do you happen to work for the government? Our university is the epitome of working in silence. Worry about yourself, we are counter productive for everyone else? You are worrying too much about perception.... And last year was pretty f'n glorious.

In La we have ULM, LaTurd and Tulane to compete with that number 2 spot behind LSU. So being in the "perceived" lesser conference to two of the three is a huge hurdle we have to deal with regarding respect within our own state. If we were in the AAC/CUSA/MWC it would be about recent performances not perceptions. That's not our situation, we have to overcome perceptions.

Throw in the fact that in CUSA we have 3 close opponents, and ULM would likely stay on our schedule, would give our fans the opportunity to attend many more games.

Do what Boise did and you are #2. A Tulane stinking it up in the AAC will not be #2 over you in the SBC if you do that. A LaTech in CUSA will not be #2 over you in the SBC if you do that.

You are what you do....not what conference you are in. The only way conference truly and ultimately matters is between G5 and P5.

You base too much on "perception". At the start of the season your perception was the stinking lousy sorry FCS midgets coming in would damage your brand but in truth one of them did well out of conference and was sole champ and the other beat you on your home field when they got their legs under them.

Any perception damage for A-State and ULL this year was more about A-State and ULL than about the Sun Belt.

Until you ask for millions of dollars in personal checks and try to get casual fans interested and buying season tickets to play schools they have no familiarity with. Why do you care... I know the answer, if you are man enough to answer it honestly.

Numbers posted here seem to indicate the Cajuns are doing just fine soliciting checks.
I don't brag about being the fastest fat kid, why do you care? Why do all of you think you know our situation better than we do? Seriously, why do you care that we want to leave?

First go back on the meds

Second you guys can go to CUSA or eff yourself doesn't matter to me.

You posted the misery of not being able to raise money in a thread where it is pointed out that your school is bringing in more money than the CUSA neighbor you seem concerned about.

It's goddamned message board, you don't want replies start ******* blog.

I didn't post sht, where we are in this state with the money that is around us, to me that number is embarrassing. We can't talk about anything without it being misery, or it's our conference mates faults or we are counter productive. So yin go start a f'n blog if you don't want to read about us wanting to leave. Let's just talk about what you want to talk about. Neither of you have answered why you care if we leave? I want a reply, don't see where I said I didnt. I asked the questions a couple times. For as much as everyone hates us, we sure spend a lot of time hearing about this is where we need to be. I on a personal level want to go to cusa for my own selfish reasons which includes traveling to more away games more often. I know it would increase our fan interest and revenues immediately. Sorry for wanting something for my university that would better us. Maybe if the commissioner of the conference wasn't such a ccksucker we woukdnt be in as big a hurry.

YOU repeat that theme. Again its a message board if you can't handle questions or in the case of what I posted... observations you need to grow stones or quit being a whiner.

No you just keep saying how stupid we are... You apparently can't handle questions on a message board. Is it because you don't want to be left behind? Scared of who the replacement would be? You think we bring value to the league? What is it? TXST, gsu, app, Troy all have history together of rivalries, of playoff games from back in the day... They have things they can relate to with each other. I grew up watching us play latech, southern miss, rice in baseball. I would rather have stAte and USA join us because if history but you are content here... Which is your choice. I'm not, we arent. We had a president for 40 years that was content with scraping the bottom and barely getting by. But hey keep being a little btch
