We hadn't done jack in CUSA before you guys got here. I mean we have a brand that people know from some upsets, rankings, and the movie/story, but USM has been a top CUSA school since it's inception. And, well, FAU managed to go undefeated in CUSA which beats anything we've done here
That may be. But my first notable memory of USM as a C-USA program was a 0-12 season and our easy victory over them that year.

yeah..."delusional" in your book are folks who expect better than SUNWACUSA..
All USM fans know we will soon be back on track from the ELLLLLLLLLLLLOS debacle, and the reason we aren't in the AAC is not win-losses, but friggin' TV sets!
IF you go to N. Mexico, New York or Utah, they've never heard of FAU, Florida Int'l. Airport or La Tech, but they almost always have heard of USM. Everyone better enjoy our temporary spot as "mediocre", because that will not last long.

Actually....we KNOW we are not "back"...but unlike WKU fans, who had 2 good seasons and thought it would be that way forever, USM fans understand ALL schools have ups and downs ( it's just we are used to being "up"..).
OH YOU DIDNT KNOW? YO ASS BETTER CALL SOMEBODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Geez.......That was 6 years ago. What have we done since then? 3 winning seasons with 1 CUSA CG appearance and the still infamous 3 year span of 4-32 from 2012-2014. Nothing to brag about

USM fans should just post on their own fan board and beech amoung themselves. We all know how great you and Marshall were (as in the past). We don’t need to be reminded of it everyday. Want out of your current situation? Go Independent. Do something! Just don’t keep posting how great you WERE in your dream CUSA.

But unlike the rest of you guys, Marshall and USM can be relevant again...
Ya see, we actually HAVE A PROUD HISTORY, which you would crow about too, if you had one. We are slowly (too slowly for our impatient fans) coming back to form, and since it was only a few years ago we were #19 in the nation, nice try on the "how great we once were" sh!t!

I'm sure no one in Utah has any clue who Louisiana Tech is, absolutely no one. I bet Pittsburgh is equally clueless to the existence of Louisiana Tech.

I was wondering if any Tech fan would get around to that...
Great ball player and a good person...those two hardly ever go together. Saw him in person when Tech played at Western. Never really heard of Tech before then...other than ladyTecksters. Haven't forgot Tech since then.
