Yes sir. UNA has been search for a FCS home for about three years. My bet is that the rest of the GSC will join the them in the Big South within the next three years.

I see UWG, UWF and Valdosta State making that move. I expect UNF and FGCU two announce football programs about the time as well.

We're basically banning all realignment discussions if they involve suggesting an FCS team for the Sun Belt right now. I'm not sure what your post was because I didn't remove it, but if it made such a comparison, it was automatically dumped.

Between the Liberty nut jobs and the wild theories of NoDak and FJ, the discussions proved tiersome.

Hilarious.

I visit the Sun Belt board. The Liberty posters are fine people. Definitely more normal than the rest of that puffed up gang. Which makes the visits fun.

Nut job describes a few of them, but I'd definitely call them one of the more hardheaded fanbases on this forum. They can never go more than a year or two without circling the wagons back to the Sun Belt board just to have the same conversation about how there just isn't much interest from the Sun Belt's end of things.

I won't say they'll never get there, but I see them continuing to be passed over so long as there are other interested parties remotely within footprint. Missouri State, Sam Houston State, Lamar, Eastern Kentucky, Chattanooga, Jacksonville State, maybe even Central Arkansas, Kennesaw State...the further down the road we get the odds increase that one of the fifteen Florida schools FloridaJag has been pimping for a decade makes him think he's a genius again.

I'm not sure I would use the term nut job but some are pretty hardheaded for sure. Or maybe I'm a nut job and I can't tell anymore...LOL. I'm fairly sure the only way LU is getting to FBS is if it's with some wavier to go independent FBS from the NCAA. Not sure how that would even happen since those aren't allowed with the current rules.

Guess he hasn't seen the Arkansas State fans on twitter that tweet at recruits and then slam then when they don't commit to their school.

I have only pimped three Florida schools; FGCU, UNF and UWF. And...yes, you and I have had are run-ins over the past few years, not a decade. I always enjoy schooling you but me claiming genius status, nah...that is your department.

Good hearing from you.
