No not me. I'd spend too much time staring at myself in the mirror!

Having the UAB pic on your icon is respectable.

And I was just giving you crap where it was due, nothing in bunches.

As for your record. 11-13 in the FBS. I've seen worse. It will be interesting to see how the Monarchs progress or regress as they get further away from Heinike's leadership. That may have been a once in a lifetime recruit. I know you'll be waiting a LONG time for another QB of that caliber. Your first year in, he kept you in games and gave you a real chance to win. IF you had any defense you would have. Now, it seems that your team is getting worse.

Better with our schedule? Doubtful. 0-2 versus Georgia Southern and your coach is one of the biggest douche bags in the country. And his math skills are lacking. Common opponent comparisons still show you behind the Eagles.

Y'all have done pretty good for an upstart.

And our Girls ARE better looking.

Get real. We may get pocket change in our next TV contract, but it'll be more pocket change than what we get right now.

College athletics is a game of identity. Without exceptional branding it's difficult to get the locals on board with City U and more difficult to get the wider media markets on board. Not impossible but the networks are looking for easier quicker returns on investment. Looking through the Sun Belt and comparing to CUSA the name recognition or marketing advantage has more potential in the SB with greater reach. Media sees the G5 as little or nothing now but with exposure and effective branding the future is worth investing in. Compare the two. Significant branding advantage for the SB based on names, history, and much more definable geographical footprint. It's like a song. All the parts have to fit together perfectly to become a top 20 hit. The pieces are in place for the SB.

1. Name: The SB has three members with state in their name. CUSA has zero. Easier to grab the attention of a state. Two, arguably four directional universities with CCU and App, giving the same "regional" interest. Four in CUSA maybe five with FAU. Name "recognition advantage": See earlier posts in this thread

2. History: GS and App alone have more football history entering the league than all recent CUSA adds combined with nine lower league national titles and slaying the giant national exposure. Name "recognition advantage": See earlier posts in this thread

3. Definable geographic footprint: Sun Belt = more schools with less distance between schools residing in the southeast US. Given that the southeast historically produces superior football, perception is reality.

In case you haven't noticed yet, what you did in FCS doesn't mean a thing in FBS. If it did you and App would've received invites before Georgia State and ODU. It wouldn't have taken the Big East completely collapsing before ECU got in with their history and fan base either. And having state in your name, unless it's preceded by Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, etc doesn't mean a thing either. Stop acting as if Ark State hasn't been in the Sunbelt for the longest. What difference has having State in their name made for the conference? I'll give you footprint, but that benefits what?

You're making my point. Nothing at this level matters short of potential and BRANDING as it relates to the media. Who has the best opportunity from a branding standpoint and who as a unit brings the most potential from a media standpoint. Winning traditions help the media brand you despite your discounting FCS history. Non Directional or non city U's such as Arkansas State, Georgia State, and Texas State carry the name of their states. This is more compelling to viewers , when the opportunity arises, and the reach is on a wider scale than "city state U". Directional U's also benefit from the same in their regions given the region is football hungry. App state, GS, and USA are nicely positioned. Compare the two conferences and harness the slightest level of common sense. On the surface, which is apparently all that matters, the Sun Belt is in a good position, as it relates to CUSA.

When I think of Old Dominion I think of a trucking company or Chris Gatling.

When I think of Georgia Southern I think of "Option U," Erk Russell, or leading the nation in rushing twice as a move up.

You win.

Ah, good. Insulting GSU is bringing people together! Man, I hope we manage to finally pull out a win in Statesboro next year, so some of you GS fans will ease up...

Oh...

I kid, admittedly my joke was funnier before last season.
