A Phil Robertson smile is like bigfoot: people claim it exists, but no one has real proof. (and even if it did you probably couldn't see it through the beard lol)

Also thanks for pointing out the font difference that I hadn't noticed and probably now won't be able to unsee -_-

You'd be at home at sportslogos.net forum. They catch details like that all the time.

I wrote a big ass post. But y'all gonna keep feeding the negatives.

Short Sighted ODU hasnt even played FAU yet and on top of that FAU beat ODU last year Not to mention ODU got run off the field by a Sunbelt last two years and WKU could have hung 100 on you. So you might want ease up on the trash talk

Well, if we're looking back over the past few years, I believe that ODU played La Tech during that time. How'd that work out?

I can't wait till this fixed schedule is over so we can play you again. If you could make it to the championship game we can do it in a few weeks.

I would love to see that happen and would hope it would be a good game, but I don't see WKU slipping up.

Let me clue the OP in on something...

the top is not doing it's job.

There's not one thing holding ODU back from making the ncaa tourney..other than ODU. Same goes for Western. Same goes for Middle. Same goes for Tech and on and on.

Sure those schools that are always towards the bottom needs to win a few more games. But so should those at the top or near the top or in the middle.

The only thing the bottom schools winning more is going to do is...not hurt as bad. But it will not raise the conference profile. The only waqy to get CUSA noticed is to have a very strong top. Because if we are being honest....

no one outside of a conference really cares about those schools at the bottom. Doesn't matter if it's the same schools year after year. Or if they change year after year. It's the top that will get you more ink and maybe a at large bid. Till the top of CUSA starts pulling their weight....

you can't blame the bottom

Yes. I think he was being sarcastic though. All they have done football this year is get completely embarrassed by decent football teams that's why they ranked 100 in Sagarin with 6-3 record

Yep, ODU has 3 losses on the road vs. top 50 teams. LT has 2 road losses vs. Texas Tech (~65) and MTSU (~95). You guys have 1 good home win vs. Western Kentucky. You've **** the bed on the road at Texas Tech and Middle Tennessee.

You can give yourselves a moral victory by losing close to a not top 50 team in Arkansas in you want. But, the fact is LT has done nothing but beat up on bad teams as well (outside of a home win vs. WKY).

The only team that can thumb their nose at the rest of the conference in Western Kentucky.

Let's start with ODU, seeing how it is an ODU fan who started this list. Appalachian State blew you guys out of the water. Badly. You must realize that within the conference we are all 50/50, someone has to win and someone has to lose. In order to prove that the conference is strong we have to win OOC games. Tops and bottoms of this league have to win OOC. Don't go attacking the bottom teams when you hadn't necessarily done the job either.

ODU lost to a good App State team that nearly beat #9 Tennessee in Knoxville and NC State on the road. Beat UMass and Hampton, which is not saying much but still 2-2. 7-3 and 5-1 in a conference that we were picked to finish 6th in the East I would say is overachieving. Once again, we are pulling our weight. I dont really think you can say that.

All ODU has done is get embarrassed by a Sunbelt and low P5 school. Until ODU can be at least competitive against mediocre FBS schools, I would keep my mouth shut about other programs.

We beat LT 2 years ago, is that at least being competitive against mediocre FBS schools or no? 2 years ago we also played clos road games @ NC State and Vanderbilt; at the very least they would qualify as "competitive."

This year we have played OOC games against (based on F+/-):

App State (41)
NC State (45)
UMASS (111)
Hampton -FCS

Unfortunately for us, the year we finally have been able to gather talent, we didn't play any mediocre FBS schools in P-5 conferences....like a Texas Tech, for example. (ranked 58) or Vandy (73)

I certainly don't side with the OP and i am firm believer that only thing stopping from us going to NCAA's is we ourselves. When you play in a conference that is perceived bad by those who grade us from outside you have only yourself to blame to have slip ups and not make the tourney. Stop with blaming the conference BS. I understand slip ups happen even in bad conferences and unfortunately the burden of proof is on our own shoulders to not let them happen until the perception changes which may take a while.

I mean App State isn't exactly mediocre... Their only losses are to Tennessee (in OT), Miami (who hadn't crapped themselves yet), and a narrow loss to Troy (who may be the best team in SBC history considering they just become the first ranked team and only lost to Clemson, and only by 6). So App State's only losses are respectable enough that you can't call them mediocre. Had they lost to ULL or NMSU, that would be a different story.

And as much as I hate to admit it, La Tech is 0-1 against ODU, so maybe we don't have much room to talk bad about them. Considering that this is only ODU's 3rd season in FBS and 7th since restarting their program, the fact that they are bowl eligible and still in the running for a division title going into week 12 makes them respectable.

Doesn't mean they should be trashing programs younger than them (and only a few are), but it does mean they deserve at least a little respect.

Stop this. You must let the hate flow through you.

Don't let things like perspective give you pause.

Just because La Tech and ODU literally won the same games in OOC (random FCS blowout and crushing UMass) you should hold on tight to the close loss/moral victory against Arkansas as a demonstration of your complete superiority.

How did you do against WKU?

If we don't meet in the championship game, it very well could be because we beat WKU and you didn't. You haven't been playing MT? You've got it easy. We've had to play WKU and MT for two straight years (3 years for WKU) and we aren't in the east.

Im not going to argue that ODU and LT are equals, but it is much closer than a couple LT trolls make it seem. The season is judged by more than 1 game, but you aren't comparing apples to apples as LT got WK at home.

I wish we would have gotten a chance to play Middle this year as they are in a down year. Why are you using them to support anything?

The bottom line is every team in the conference holds their own destiny and have no one to blame but themselves. The bottom of the conference sucks, but there is nothing we can do about it right now.

ODU did get jobbed out of an NCAA tourney invite 2 years ago though. (45 in RPI), beat Richmond, LSU, VCU, and 6-2 vs. top 100 RPI teams. The only thing that probably kept them out (along with losing to a crappy MTSU team in the tourney) was the weak conference schedule.

But, like I said, the blame is on ODU for losing in the tourney.

It is still fun to prove him wrong even though I know that. Besides, he would have a much better record predicting games if he wasn't so wrong about ODU.
