I can see why a S. Miss fan might get a little joy out of Houston losing but shouldn't that go on your team board? Hey no big deal this board is slow...for the middle of football season. A few weeks ago it might have even related to CUSA but once Houston loss to a eastern conference member they were a long shot to get to the G5 spot in the bowls. But it's really not about that. Right?

Like I said, no big deal to me...it just looks like sour grapes or a jilted lover on the conference board

Not really sure why you're throwing such a temper tantrum. You'd have no problem with this post if he'd only put an "OT:" in front of the title of the thread. It's college football it affects the G5 access bowl spot. Who cares if it's about Houston and written by a USM guy.

I didn't throw anything but I did ask a question...

some of you need to let those school go. They are not walking back into CUSA and most likely your school is never leaving to join them.

To me it sounds and looks just as I said...got dumped and the pretty girl left you behind. So now every chance you get to take a shot...you do just that (you as in some S. Miss fan)

To avoid looking that way...people usually keep it to the closes friends..TEAM BOARD.

I chose to click on the link so obvious I knew what it was going to be about. But that doesn't mean I can't ask a question...which I did. Nor does it mean I can't give a opinion. Which I did. Hey if you don't want that opinion...don't ask. I wanted the answer or I wouldn't have asked.

At least 5 schools in this conference have history with Houston in CUSA, 6 if you include Charlotte. We're going to occasionally speak of them and especially when they are down. But that's how it was when they were here, too. So it's more about nostalgia than sour grapes. I'm sure Sunbelt schools left behind still bring up WKU and MTSU blunders as entertainment on their board.

You don't get to just come in and throw away history with your opinion. Your response in this thread is more out of place than this thread on a board that half the teams in conference find an interest in. Now considering I've yet to see you not try to get the last word in on a thread, I'll just let you know that whatever non-clever retort you're chuckling to yourself about writing will fall on deaf ears.

these days it's rare to one, much less two. Well it is unless they are congratulating a 4th year startup or some other school beneath them. For beating them..usually at home. About as rare as seeing the Ivory-billed Woodpecker

Crush I believe it means To The Top

Didn't join in just pointing out what you're obviously clueless about. Not just clueless but incessantly clueless.

You ask because you're clueless and your opinion sucks but this is MERICA & you're entitled to it. What many of us enjoy about Houston and what happened is based on a number of things based on our history with them athletically which to some is far more than others, Houston's own history of how they do things athletically in the outcomes they've created for themselves for better or worse, and just good ole fandom and how many of us have intereacted over the decades. Houston & Coogin It goes back a long time and the SMU game just adds to it. It doesn't even have to be about dislike but more so just disbelief in it happening again and I promise you that many of their own fans are thinking it. To many it is enjoyment of something bad based on the histories I listed above wether it's athletically related or just annoyance from their fanbase over simple messageboard fodder. There are many things surrounding it all of which don't have to be "sour grapes" which is highly ironic because many of us in CUSA that were "left behind"...LOL... were told this very thing during that weeklong wait we all had while Boise State was getting ready to announce their departure from the MTN WEST and those leaving CUSA had to wait to piggy back on with Boise States announcement because they didn't have the pull to do it on their own merit. So the whole sour grapes comment is actually quite ironic and I rather enjoyed it since it was the common response to facts as to why the Big East's days were numbered and that the BCS Promised Land was not going to be around.

I personally cheer for any school to go undefeated and wreck Roy Kramer & Co. Party and take a dump in their pie. Houston had a solid shot but it's done for and unless Western Michigan and or Boise State can continue their run it's another year of nothing for us. Of course that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy seeing Houston take the loss for SMU & their "PeeWee like football atmosphere" they have. That's also something you may not be familiar with. Your response may also be sour grapes since SMU has left us behind but those are not my words those are their own players words.

Why do you say that?

I don't think having 9 winning seasons out of the past 11 is a flash in the pan. They seem committed to athletics--building a new stadium and paying both football and basketball coaches top salaries. I don't know who will replace Herman, but he will be paid well and the school should be able to attract a proven replacement. In basketball CBS has them ranked 4th in the AAC behind UConn, Cincy, and SMU. Two years ago, they were a doormat in bball.

UH is in a great spot. They are right in the middle of a huge market that contains a huge number of top recruits for FB and MBB. I don't see how they can do anything but succeed. They will lose once in a while but over all, they will be one of the top programs in the AAC and in my mind they deserve to be in a power 5. May turn out to be the PAC 12 instead of the Big 12.

TTT is an abused term.

Houston losing by 22 is not a Coog'd it situation. And us losing to UTSA by 23 (still wonder how in the F that happened) was not a TTT moment.

Coog'd it would be if Houston lost in the 4th quarter because the long snapper snapped the ball over the punter's head and SMU recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.

TTT would be if we had lost to UTSA by missing a 25-yard field goal as time expired.

And it makes it even better because S. Miss fans...know that team that left them behind doesn't really feel the same way about them. Never did, always thought they were better, even in losing. And today those fans look at S. Miss as a good little D2 or what ever team

Did I get that correct?



But it still has zero to do with CUSA.

I don't think that's correct. Houston and USM were conference mates for 17 years, from 1996 to 2013. I followed the conference that entire period and never got the feeling that Houston looked down its nose at USM, aside from the normal fan bias that their own school is always better than the other guy's.

If anything, Houston was the butt of conference jokes for its lousy attendance in football and basketball, its lousy basketball, and "coogin it" generally. Some fan got the idea that Houston was the conference "flagship", and the ridicule really piled on after that.

Well actually those fans seem to have been correct...

now days some S. Miss fans fans seem to agree with that...must if you start this topic. Of point out in every other thread how strong Houston was. Or if you look at who moved on and was the most talked about school going to the Big12.

In that case those Houston fans talking about "flagship: were correct. Hell even losing you can still be that...ask a few Marshall fans and as I pointed out a few S. Miss.

And they are mostly correct...in name only

In the old CUSA, imho the most arrogant fans were USF and TCU, at least the ones online. Some USF fans continue that tradition in the AAC.

Houston as the self-proclaimed flagship back then was greeted with about the same credibility as if UNT fans decided to call themselves that today.

louisville had the worst fans.

and marsha was the first one in line...

those two losses changed any advantage that we 'thought' we had....

I can't say anything definitively....however, anyone with half a brain knows it would'e put us in a more positive position moving into the final phase of realignment....

it's now a coin flip whether the leftovers acknowledge existence....

we're in one helluva pickle at this point....

I reckon' we'll see how she plays out....
