We had so many years of futility, then reached large national success...then fell on hard times. We are not so far removed from 5-7 that most of us respect all of the teams in the league.

I think the issue with some of my more eccentric bretheren is that many of you all came from the SunBelt... And you know how that conference is viewed. I'm not saying it is entirely accurate, but I'm sure you guys feel as though you are in better shape than a TXST, ULM,, Troy, etc... So I guess that is why the attitude IMHO.

I hear you, but you see the problem is that North Texas and FAU also came from the SunBelt. I don't see them getting nailed every week or so it seems. By the way Middle came from SunBelt also. We beat them in football. See what I mean??? Hence, why I keep saying what is the real reason?

10-4. I hear ya.

I think you're zero-ing in on it; hence the silence from the hecklers.

Yup. One of these Marshall guys will break. Good job Proud you hit the nail on the head with the highly different treatment we receive from the Marshall holier than though crowd (mainly).
