Last year the Belt had a down year in non-conference games. I see that improving alot this year.

Only 3 SBC fan bases would tolerate a losing season next year...and all 3 won a combined 3 games this year. Truthfully, I don't expect Georgia State fans to put up with it for much longer.

You have to preach you are better so people will eventually believe you are.

RE: Another Terry Mohajir quote on the G5
I agree with that. I think Ga. State's coach either gets 4 wins minimum this year or he is gone.

I am thankful the Sun Belt gave us the chance to leave the SoCon. This conference is so much more in line with who we are and what we want to accomplish than the SoCon was.

Gus Malzahn rolled out his vision for facilities and the prior AD rubber stamped it (and then got canned because the new chancellor had a problem with him and Gus had gone sideways with him as well) and the first thing Terry did was toss the Gus plan because it doesn't make sense to start with an expensive project that won't generate money. Instead we went with the cheaper indoor facility and the revenue generating press box. Gus was golden and Terry didn't scrape and bow.

I sometimes jokingly refer to him as The Riddler. He shoots straight when he can. Sometimes he won't answer but often if he can't answer he will throw you clues. A friend and I visited with Terry one day and he made a couple comments without saying anything you could hang your hat on. My buddy and I were rehashing everything he said trying to work out what the heck he was talking about. Finally at the same time we both said "Miami!" we'd managed to piece it together.

Sometimes it can be like an episode of Arrested Development. There will be an odd or out of place piece of information given and only late in the episode do you realize they had laid the foundation for a great joke 20 minutes or 2 episodes earlier. Sometimes you may think you know what the heck he is talking about and only later realize when you get a few more clues what the riddle is really about.

I think something is brewing among the G5 but it hasn't coalesced into anything yet. But I know that east west tensions in multiple conferences is a factor and I think realignment/reorganization is too complicated to be the new thing.

There's some pretty great travel partners if a true East-West split happens. The USM-USA pair can go East or West depending on where they fit better (probably the West).

UMass football probably makes more sense in an east coast conference than they do in the SBC, so they could pair with UAB non-football.

The West in this setup would be 12/14 and the East would be 12/12.

I think Mohajir would make a better Conference Commissioner. Lets clone him, because I doubt A-State would give him up.

RE: Another Terry Mohajir quote on the G5
In another 5 years, things will have settled into what will basically become a new division in college athletics. P-5 conferences will continue to put more and more distance between themselves and G-5 conferences. At some point, a movement will begin to establish a permanent separation in classification between the P5 and the G5. Right now, schools like UCONN, Cincinnati, Boise, Houston, UCF, USF, Memphis, and SDSU still hold out hope that they were only inadvertently excluded from the P5 conferences. Those schools cling to hope that the P5 will add a sixth conference that will include their school, or that the P5 conferences will expand enough that their school will be included. It is only when these programs come to accept the fact that they've been dumped by the P5 that some kind of geographic G5 reorganization will take place. Until that happens, the G5 pecking order, whether real or perceived, will remain in place.

The UNTs have an overinflated sense of themselves. . . . . .

.. . . When you have that goin' on, you can't possibly schedule those you view as inferior . . . . .

I think it takes more than 4. If as expected the Braves announce an exit date this calendar year and you start seeing renderings soon after there is no way you can start selling suites and club seating with a four win season. Miles knows this which is why just about every player who will see meaningful snaps was already on campus in January. One way or another, for GSU 2015 is the year.

I also see his comments as stAte has no intentions of going CUSA. With that kind of talk, it is time for the SBC to go after USM and Marshall and put the nail in CUSA.

(04-06-2015 08:32 PM)chiefsfan Wrote:  If anyone hasnt understood lately that our AD has A LOT to say...and isn't one to mince words, he turned an interview about our new facility progress and somehow got it turned around to a rant about CUSA again. Took a few swipes at the AAC as well. It started with a question about the Tulsa series in which he guaranteed we'd bring more fans to Tulsa than they would Jonesboro.

Q: In your conversations with other G5 AD's, are more coming around to the idea that we have to stick together if there is going to be any chance to battle the Power 5 conferences

TM: "A few more are starting to come around to it, but not all. There's a school about 50 miles down the road who seems to think that the opposite is true, as we all know, and some other AAC schools share that opinion. It has made scheduling a far more difficult task than I ever thought it would be.

TM: "Some schools seem to think they need to play Big 10 and ACC schools regularly, rather than scheduling games they can win. With as strong as that league is, one would think they want to schedule wins, but they have not all come around to that yet." We schedule games because we think we can win the game. The Utah State series is a great example of that. It was a good win for us, it's a good series for them, it helps both schools"

TM: I tell you where we've really had trouble is scheduling CUSA schools"

Q: And why do you think that may be?

TM: "Many of those schools have been in a league with us before, and I don't think they want to schedule any of us again. The Power Rankings are also a factor. No one wants to take a loss to a Sun Belt School feeling it would hurt them in those rankings. Which doesnt make any sense because outside of Marshall in football, the leagues were very even. The SBC is better than CUSA in basketball and baseball, we were better than football last year, were not this year after a down year, but we might have been had Georgia Southern been bowl eligible, and we'll be better than them again soon"

TM: "North Texas, WKU, Old Dominion, Charlotte, FAU where I used to work, we've tried to get on their schedules and have not been able too,: I think the real surprise to me has been the lack of professional courtesy in several CUSA Athletic Departments. If they don't want to play, I understand, but at least have the courtesy to call us back."

TM: "The Good news is the Mountain West and the MAC have been real amenable to playing is, Utah State, UNLV, Bowling Green, Ball State, Toledo, Kent State, Northern Illinois are all open to scheduling us, so I expect more of those games in the future. "You know they are fighting the same battle we are, so there is more openness when it comes to scheduling games"
Is there a link to this?

There's no point in stAte moving.

I don't think either of those schools would move under a 'SBC named conference'.

I don't think I would read it that way. I read it as Terry is a strong advocate for his program and his conference. If an opportunity presented itself, he would advocate for whatever he saw as his program's best interest.

I think he is very pro-SBC and they may come off as anti-everyone else but I love his style. If you are not a strong advocate of your conference then you have no business being part of it.

I think if you guys could replace Benson with a go-getter commissioner, the SB could really take off.

I don't quite see it as that, I see it as TM understanding that in all likelihood we're not getting into another league for various reasons, so we're going to be as pro SBC publicly as possible, so our fans take that approach, and we don't start getting donor pressure to make a move that likely doesn't happen.

There's enough distaste with the current conference leadership that we'd probably take a better offer, if it somehow came. Now, change commissioners, and this might work better.

I really took it as simple logic, that we should be playing schools around us regardless of conference and that a little professional courtesy in that vein aint a bad thing.
