Enjoy telling Monroe and Tx State how you were a flagship once as they beat you.
I’d miss Marshall but USM can eat a bag.
I’d love for someone to explain to me how you consider yourself a “flagship” when you’ve won the conference once in 15 years.
You are forgetting they beat Bama way back when. Also how they are the #1 draw in CUSA...yet Western has more tier 1 and tier2 TV games than any school in CUSA. More than twice the amount as USM. I forgot...before Thanksgiving is over one of them will tell you about their fan support. Then a visiting fan goes to Sr day in prefect weather with USM fighting for #1 in the west...
there might be 12k actual fans in the stands. Might be, but probably even less.
You would think flagship mean you are picked for TV games. And at least a little more than just competitive. Up till 3 years ago they were blaming all their problems on FAU and FIU and UNCC...
two have passed them up and UNCC is getting ready to. All 3 did not have a football program 15 years ago. Now its UTEP and ODU
STFU and stop being a ***** lol.... You talk about Envy? Just about every post on here your bashing So.Miss. Your damn right we brag about our History. Atleast we have history. WKU got history in D1AA. Congratulations... Yeah WKU is 3-0 against So. Miss congratulations! I'm happy for you. You wanna cookie?!
So. Miss and Marshall were once a dominate force in our conferences. Back when this conference was a GOOD G5 conference. This conference has essentially killed our program. All the programs outside of La Tech and Marshall we used to play and have history with are gone.
Our older fanbase don't have any interest in playing Western Kentucky. I know that Western Kentucky has a good football history. Most of our fan base don't.
The difference between So. Miss and Marshall fans and WKU fans is this. We HAVE history in FBS football. You have history in FCS football. Conference USA in its current format is the Best Thing to EVER Happen to WKU Football Charlotte, FIU or FAU football. The same current format is **** compared to what So. Miss and Marshall fans are use to playing in.
So. Miss and Marshall use to play in front of National TV now we're stuck streaming on ESPN +.. You damn right we're not happy about being in this conference.
When was USM and Marshall a dominate force in our conference? In the last 20 years of play USM and Marshall has 1 more conference championship than Western...that's combined. In the past 20 years USM has finished in the top 25, ONCE, same as Western. Marshall twice. Again you need to go back to when a lot of you USM fans were in diapers. Everything you said is "use to". Hell Western was once a top 10 national program in basketball. Yes NATIONAL, unlike you USM fans that believe you were once a national program. You wasnt anything more than a good little team that got all of the SEC rejects when there wasnt many FBS programs playing in the south.
As I said you would think if USM was as good of a program as you and other USM fans seem to think. Whatever TV deal CUSA has and had over the past 5 years....
USM WOULD be top choice for those tier 1 games. Guess what, you're not. This little team with no history has played twice as many TV games as USM.
As for USM fans not caring about Western and that's the reason they did not show up. You and I both know that is bullcrap. Those fans remember the ass kicking USM took in the championship game. But that's the same excuse most USM fans use. Yet the box score attendance for games against the eastern schools are higher than the west schools USM plays at home.
There always has to be someone else stopping USM from being back to the good old days. Well first off your good ole days are long gone and been gone for 20+ years. And the only one to blame is USM.
Why would I have any envy for USM? Hell in the short time Western has been in the FBS. Western has long ago passed anything USM has done in the last 20+ years. Including 3 totally ass kicking in head to head games. Hell Western beat you so bad USM players were dropping like flies in all 3 games. Game number 1 Western put 2 USM qb's out with in 5 minutes. Game number 2...8 out of 12 players a USM player dropped. Game number 3...knowed another qb out and a few more players.
No wonder you want to move to the SBC....
