A good academic reputation is the one lifeboat still afloat amongst the wreckage caused by your hilarious attempt to field something better than a high school football team.

Seriously... You're a couple more 1-11 years away from ceasing to be known less as a quality basketball school and more as that team in Atlanta that gets embarrassed by everybody.

It's hard for me and every other Eagle, but we really should just ignore them. They still have about 7 of their original 19 die hard fans hanging on to the ATL, Dome, Turner, Research mantra that made them think they would roll a Panther helmet on the field and 50,000 would show up. It's just a shame that Georgia has to have one of it's 4 Research Universities join Savannah State as the laughing stock of college football.

We have in the last two days hear that our campus is infested with crack whores and panhandlers. That our location prevents both recruits and students from wanting to enroll. And the GS answer is well you lost so you should just sit down and listen to our drivel even if it's not true. Keep it about football even as we thread jack and talk about things other than football and insult you. "Look look theyN mentioned academics! I don't know why!"

But the fact that you're back to being verily concerned does make me laugh and comforts me.

I'm sure most of the GAST posters on here are decent enough people. And it's hard not to have some level of respect for anyone who sticks with such an atrocious program (specifically the football program) despite hoards of embarrassing chunks of reality that beg you to abandon ship.

Moving on...
It's entertaining to watch GAST people try to twist and bend reality to cope with being associated with one of the most supreme failures in the history of sports. What I'm really interested in is when they finally do the humane thing and cancel the Georgia State football program... if you can even call it that... are people on this message board going to finally recognize the real GSU as the actual GSU?

These Georgia State people, swimming in their historically unique sea of failure, are now relegated to grasping at Georgia Southern fans hating them as something to be proud of. Sad. No really... guys... it's sad.

GAST is not a better academic institution than GSU. They are a worse campus. They are a joke of an atmosphere. The are a joke of a program. They are a joke of a fanbase. (not as individuals... but as a group) Enjoy the football game with Georgia Southern this year, guys. Good luck only getting blown out by 30... since that is your normal moral-victory thresh-hold

Also good luck with devising a response that steers clear of the "you guys are obsessed with us" cliche. I promise you guys that GAST is only on my radar when I see one of you acting out of your place. Night. :)

You know what? I think many at your institution have a serious Napoleonic Complex. I cannot begin to tell you how many of your ilk have been behaving just like some of you on these boards, the tiny bully in the bar, for the 25 years since I graduated high school. Year after year I've seen guys with dumpster size chips on their shoulders coming back to Atlanta from Statesboro due to fighting, drinking, and failing their way out of there. Never seems to fail that a Southern kid was the first to start crap, wanted to fight, ruin the party, embarrass his girlfriend, beat up some kid because he looked different. I know you have seen it+
too. The whole state knows it. Your people bragged about being one of the top party school for decades. A LOT of bad things happen at party schools. Horrible things. You can crow all you want about how superior you are on the grid iron. You team is better. That's great. You should be winning. But to try and demoralize a school, and fans, and students because they want a full college experience and have football? Really?
Most of us come here to get informed, maybe some good natured ribbing, some good natured interaction. But as in life, there's always those who have to take it one step further. You claim we are acting out of place when we post on here. Where is our place? the back of the bus? In our own section? Why can't we stand up for our school without being told we do not deserve to have a voice? You may think it's fun to call us a joke but to me you come across as just another jerk starting crap in a bar. Way to perpetuate the stereo-type laid by the many who went before you. 1985 would be proud. Obviously you have hit a nerve, but I'm actually thrilled that others in our conference get to see on a daily basis why State didn't and doesn't want to be associated with Southern and its warm, kid hearted followers.
Be sure to hit someone with glasses tonight for me, champ.

Do us a favor and clean up that straw man once you're finished running him through.
