Isn't this like 5 straight wins?

Who are you referring to?

The Ohio fan (kittonhead) was referring to you (Georgia St) when he made the commuter school comment, obviously. It’s the truth though, I mean Georgia St is a commuter school.

Lol. We have 53k students. But we have to same percentage of students on campus as UGA. We are also Tier One USWR and Carnegie. All which has zero to do with Ohio fan thinking an AAC invite is in the offing after not wanting a B12 one.

Checking through the equity of athletics site where they measure enrollment by FTE count I pulled a few schools mentioned in this discussion thread.

Georgia 26,252
UMass 21,340
East Carolina 19,698
Georgia State 19,062
Ohio 17,794

It sounds like Georgia St is a commuter school if they are claiming 53k students but really are only 19,000 FTE, IMO.

Clearly Ohio would be the better choice for the past 5 years to UMass, but there is one wrinkle. The AAC is not expanding now or even 2-3 years from now. They are happy with their conference and concentrating on getting better. The Wichita State additions was perfect and what was needed for the AAC to move ahead of the A10.

Yes we have been down with men's sports, but AD Ryan Bamford is a good one and he has made some good hires. Men's hockey has started the turn around and football and basketball will follow. Same with attendance, win and they will come. Incremental improvements will start for the stadium in 2019.

Our basketball arena is closer to 9,800 and not 9,500 but that is nothing to worry about. Nice to see you are finally catching up with video boards. While Ohio may have more everyday fans, the UMass bandwagon would swamp Ohio.

Do consider Ohio a true peer and we started out so far behind and made some not to unusual first step mistakes. What was different about us is how everyone pile on give us shlt about being terrible. We have probably played more SEC teams than every team in the MAC combine the past few seasons.

Cheers until Sept 29th and with that huge stadium and turn out. Enjoy your home field advantage and no worries. You are facing a fairly new FBS team with no conference and a peanut for TV and CFP money. Small stadium, how they heck can we recruit well enough to play the mighty Bobcats in the power MAC East conference.

If you could get a nice walk on program going at UMass I think it would really help to offset your geographical limitations.

That's right with Ohio. Ranked in the NCAA Top 10 in scoring offense for 2017 and projected to have the #1 scoring offense in the NCAAs for 2018 by Phil Steele it doesn't get any better than that.

Someday maybe Georgia St or UMass will have a great team. Ohio has a great team right now.

You’re the first person to question that. LOL. We are by far the largest school in Georgia and one of the largest in the nation. Now about UMass...

UMass is a flagship school and a pretty good academic school.Basketball is a second thought tbh for aac in general, because the conference will be respected automatically once us and memphis return to power. umass does have adequate basketball facilities when compared the most aac schools. Its football that is still searching for respect when it comes to the aac. So an improved umass football team that makes bowls every year will, imo greatly increase umass's chances to be accepted into the aac. personally i really hope you guys get in.

Great? You have won no championships. You won the Bahamas Bowl. We won the Cure Bowl. Failing to see where you’re heads and shoulders above the rest of us G5 weaklings.

1) I showed you the MAC 2018 media poll. Ohio is a prohibitive favorite to win the MAC Championship this season which by default would make one a great team. There are other very good teams in the MAC too so its not a given.

2) Ohio scoring offense was #10 in the country last season. By any measure that is a very good team. This year we are projected to have the #1 scoring offense in the country.

https://csnbbs.com/thread-853644.html

3) Phil Steele has us as a contender for a NYD game in his preview magazine and one of his power sets has us going undefeated in the regular season. Again we have a great team this year. Its not just a decent team that could win the MAC with a few breaks like some of the early Solich teams.

4) Specifically to being head a shoulders above "G5 weaklings" Ohio hasn't had a losing season in a decade. UMass best season in 6 years of FBS play was 4-8.

So yes I definitely think Ohio is a top tier MAC team, consistently a good G5 team and as of right now has a great team. Georgia State I am not sure can get there.

You are facing a fairly new FBS team with no conference and a peanut for TV and CFP money. Small stadium, how they heck can we recruit well enough to play the mighty Bobcats in the power MAC East conference.

If you could get a nice walk on program going at UMass I think it would really help to offset your geographical limitations.

That's right with Ohio. Ranked in the NCAA Top 10 in scoring offense for 2017 and projected to have the #1 scoring offense in the NCAAs for 2018 by Phil Steele it doesn't get any better than that.

Someday maybe Georgia St or UMass will have a great team. Ohio has a great team right now.

Great? You have won no championships. You won the Bahamas Bowl. We won the Cure Bowl. Failing to see where you’re heads and shoulders above the rest of us G5 weaklings.

1) I showed you the MAC 2018 media poll. Ohio is a prohibitive favorite to win the MAC Championship this season which by default would make one a great team. There are other very good teams in the MAC too so its not a given.

2) Ohio scoring offense was #10 in the country last season. By any measure that is a very good team. This year we are projected to have the #1 scoring offense in the country.

3) Phil Steele has us as a contender for a NYD game in his preview magazine and one of his power sets has us going undefeated in the regular season. Again we have a great team this year. Its not just a decent team that could win the MAC with a few breaks like some of the early Solich teams.

4) Specifically to being head a shoulders above "G5 weaklings" Ohio hasn't had a losing season in a decade. UMass best season in 6 years of FBS play was 4-8.

So yes I definitely think Ohio is a top tier MAC team, consistently a good G5 team and as of right now has a great team. Georgia State I am not sure can get there.

Just stop, you are just embarrassing yourself now. Go switch screen names and talk about the Athens County Airport that is going to fly Ohio to the Big 12. Lol

Let me know when you get to Detroit.......

What I think is fitting after trouncing Toledo the last 2 years home and away is to do it for a 3rd straight year in Detroit.

I think the odds of us showing up in Detroit are pretty good. Our coach has done it 4 times before, the most of any in the MAC. Particularly with a loaded team. Almost unanimous choice to win the MAC East this season.

Sigh...... 31-21-1. Congrats on winning two games after losing 12 straight.

Here’s the thing Ohio had the yellow Brick road to Detroit last season, yet lose to Akron when it matters the most?
Your coach has been to Detroit, four times before and has zero wins?
No wonder no other university wants him besides the nursing home in Athens.

Kit Kat, Kittonhead, whatever you want to call yourself, until you win in Detroit you have nothing. Every time you try and spin it, and you’ll spin it again, not only embarrasses yourself but Athens and other bobcat fans. Keep worrying about that Athens County Airport, or your dilousional belief that Ohio can bring in the Columbus Market.

It all just sounds like sour grapes because Toledo has no upside. You are jealous of that little county airport because Lucas County has nothing but a regional shuttle to south florida for retirees.

I said the future was "cat" because I knew what direction the university was heading in. I was right and gradually we built a strong football team.

You have to understand that we are just getting things rolling in Athens and big double digit win seasons await.
