But he's "dead dammit"! How could you pick on him???

I kinda like the name...even if all the terrible things said about him are true. Surely they are, you can't say things on the internet that aren't true.

...you believe this kid Stang?...attacking me of all people....he don't know what he's in for.

Nuggets Ghost is a great name for a message board. OK Eagle

Now, let's not speak negative of the dead. Haunt you forever

...newbie kid doesn't even know who Nugget was.. probably thinks Mike the Tiger is on a box of frosted flakes too.

Being in this conference is sucking the life out of the university. They've got us driving out to El Paso, driving out to San Antonio... they can't even get us on TV. They lost the Liberty Bowl tie-in and anything resembling a TV contract, and those two things were the only reason CUSA ever existed at all. Fans and recruits notice this crap.

Personally, I think we should have been out the door after what happened in 2011. And I do not think we should pay exit fees. Let them sue us. I'm not sure they have the competence necessary to win. Maybe we crash and burn as an independent, but you don't stay in a burning house because it might be snowing outside.

Where were we to go in 2011? Don't answer independent because that isn't a legit option? Say it? Say it?

No; in 2011 we were supposed to go to the Big East / AAC. We didn't even try. We just say on our hands saying "we'll be fine."

Right now, I don't know what the right answer is, but I do know that CUSA West is killing us. Drive out to El Paso. Come home and play Troy in the rain. Drive out to San Antonio. Play nobody the whole time. Multiply by 9 or however many sports we have. It's bull****, man. CUSA 3.0 is a fundamentally unsustainable league.
