Apologies to La Tech. Would give you 4th, but actually haven't disappointed. Didnt expect much but wouldnt put you i category with the rest. Also, I remember when Charlotte was pretty strong in Basketball and Baseball. Hope they return to that on a consistent basis.

It really must suck ass to know S. Miss is 0 for all vs Western in football and basketball.

I bet it really hurt when S. Miss was sitting at 5-1 and in first place in the west and Western knocked S.Miss out. Not just beat them but knocked them out and S. Miss didnt win another game. Hell S.Miss has dropped so far they had at best 7k in the stands. The championship game was like men against tiny little boys...for 12 plays in a row a S. Miss player was injured after a Western player hit him.

in 4 games 125 to 62

basketball 9-0 CUSA and 11-1 overall and even the one win doesnt even count

No wonder you got a bad taste in your mouth just the additions in the east...S.M does not hold a winning record over any school and overall 4-13
Western 0-4
FAU 1-2
UNCC 2-2
Middle 0-3
ODU 1-1
FIU 0-1

Basketball
UNCC 8-28
ODU 3-7
Middle 4-10
Western 1-11
FAU 5-4
FIU 7-2

Now you are getting the picture why the others left Flagship S. Miss behind

And sadly for West Kentucky, no one remembers or cares but West Kent. Why? Bc West Kent is irrelevant and will never have the national respect of your conference's flagship University. The butthurt is strong for WKU.

I missed them. Mainly because it will delay my completion of visiting all CUSA stadiums. So far, I’ve been to half: UTSA, La Tech, USM, MTSU, WKU, Marshall, and FAU.

I’ll add two CUSA stadiums this year: UAB (new stadium) & North Texas. I was supposed to go to El Paso last year before COVID cancelled it. I’ll make up the UTEP trip next year since I’ve been to FAU’s stadium 3 times (our cross division away game in ‘22).

I have tremendous respect for Southern Miss. Honored to be in a conference with the golden eagles. Some fans are more diplomatic than others. Unfortunately for the conference you guys have not been at your best lately in football or basketball. Best to you in all your OC games!

Why would I be butt hurt with anything to do with S.Miss...

your team is ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO in the win column vs Western. The part in bold makes zero sense. There are no flagship in this conference and especially one "national". Of course logically nothing you post is based on facts. Zero wins vs Western. ZERO

I hate freaking fans that always posting I respect you and hope you win every game kumbaya, bullshittt talk. Those type of fans feel like they need everyone to like them So they never take a stand on anything. Western has a couple suck up fans on this board like that.

I'm not that person...I'm blunt and get to the point and dont give a damn if anyone else likes it or agrees with it. Even if you are in make believe land on your post. I respect it a lot more than those that say "I respect you and hope you win every game" kumbaya, bullshittt. Its why I +3 you because I could feel your pain from zero, let me repeat that ZERO wins vs Western....this is 2021 not 30 years ago.

RE: Most disappointing expansion member based on expectations at the time.
I talk straight to everybody on here including YOU--YG. I was just trying not be a jerk. Yes they have lost to us over and over--- that does not mean we have to grind the losers into the dirt. If they get uppity just remind them of the scoreboard. By the way, unfortunately for WKU fans, they DO have a more famous national reputation past in football than WKU.

And hey-- Reggie Favre-- look at your record against WKU. Just the facts.

I don't even know why you'd consider us. I'd say we've exceeded expectations since joining.

Football:
6 bowl wins and three division titles in football in 8 years

Basketball:
2 conference titles, 1 division title, 7 20-win seasons, and a 3rd place in the NIT in 8 years

Baseball:
1 Regional Host, 2 NCAA tournament berths, 1 division title, 1 final top 25 ranking in 8 years

I'd say we're succeeding more than 2/3 of the conference since the beginning of CUSA 3.0 and that includes USM. Our fanbase is just waiting on a football championship and a tournament win in basketball and baseball

Can anyone tell me why Tech fans love to say 2020 football season didnt count because covid and things will go back to how they used to be?, but they love to count their great baseball season, and how their future is bright? I would like to hear the excuse at loud.

I don't know how many Tech fans have said the "2020 football season didnt count". If some did, I'm sure it was a small vocal minority. I know we have those fans in our fanbase. Now with that said, I have said the 2020 football season should always be considered to have an asterisk next to it. I think that goes for everyone and the whole season. There were teams playing haphazard schedules with games scheduled a week or two ahead of the game. Some teams played over ten games, some played half of that, some played no games at all. Players opted out of playing. Many conferences didn't play OOC games but they were able to determine a ranked playoff lineup from it all. It was easily the strangest football season since WW2 and not normal by any means. It deserves to be viewed differently from other seasons.

Does that mean it doesn't count? I wouldn't say that. Conference champions can claim their titles. Teams can claim their wins over others. The national champion can claim the national championship. However I think all of these achievements should be viewed with skepticism when comparing these results with past years due to the volatile and haphazard year we just had in football. So do the results from the year count? Sure. Are these results equal to and valid for comparison for years in the past? I don't think so and that's why I think all results from this past year should be considered to have an asterisk next to it.

Now if we compare that to our baseball season. I think there are some differences. The chaos of the fall football season was almost non-existent for the spring baseball season. Teams for the most part played their whole schedules. There weren't abrupt changes to schedules while they were being played. Teams played many OOC games. The process of selecting a champion for conferences and for the national championship didn't change much at all (except for NC state). Was it exactly the same as other years? no, there were some differences. But if I had to put a numerical value to how close the baseball season was to a normal season I would say it was 90% normal- definitely comparable to past seasons. The football season was maybe 50% normal, that's a huge difference. Again not saying the football season didn't count. But that huge difference creates an asterisk next to all football results for the year.

And hey-- Reggie Favre-- look at your record against WKU. Just the facts.

No you want to be liked by everyone and you show zero passion for a fan. Everything and every team is great, hope you win. You dont have to go full ******* like me but my god...show some passion for once.

Since this thread is not just about football S.Miss's history pales compared to Western's basketball history. One is our little team beat a few ranked "named" teams over the years. Been ranked two or three times when their daddy's were kids. The other was truly a national team and top 10 program and still listed as top 50 on all the list that comes out. Hell Rice's history is a lot more national than S. Miss. All three schools are long past their glory days and any national history they had.

Those are the real facts.

But hey if you need people you dont know and most likely never meet to like you so much and want to be all kumbaya, bullshittt with them after they basically called you every name in the book...

glad I'm not you

Before you say it wasnt personal and they were talking about your school. The only reason you are on this board is because you are a fan of that school . So in this context they are talking to you, it was personal. Like I said you dont have to be the assshole but show some freaking passion, for once.

I'm sure you dont like my post style and I sure as hell dont yours. But 90% of the time I do drop the assshole style of posting to civil and respectful. You on the other hand are always kumbaya. I've made a very good living off reading people and that is a person that never really takes a stand on ANYTHING. Which in my book is worse than the assshole. At least you know were you stand with the assshole.

Best college football teams of all time by winning percentage


https://247sports.com/ContentGallery/bes...3034204_14

You can start at number 30 for CUSA and the next one is 37 and a total of 4 in the top 50. Anyone want to make a guess who those 4 are before looking at the ranking.

I would have got the three

You cannot completely disregard history in the sport where tradition matters so much, especially in the South. WKU had how many non-FBS wins to get to #30? WKU has been better than USM for several years recently, good for you but you need several more decades to catch up with USM's prestige.

Look its OK to just go with a article without trying to change its meaning. The text in the article was very clear on what it was based on. It wasnt trying to solve world problems or the fact that when your dad was a boy S. Miss beat some good schools. Western also has something in football S. Miss never will have...

2002 and lost in the championship game of 2 others in the late 70s. One was a beatdown by Tech. Back then (the ones Western lost) what is today known as FCS was Dll. Then it was switched to 1AA and later to FCS

The center (David Carter) on that team that lost to Tech just passed away this week. He played for the Oilers for 7 or 8 years

You cannot completely disregard history in the sport where tradition matters so much, especially in the South. WKU had how many non-FBS wins to get to #30? WKU has been better than USM for several years recently, good for you but you need several more decades to catch up with USM's prestige.

Look its OK to just go with a article without trying to change its meaning. The text in the article was very clear on what it was based on. It wasnt trying to solve world problems or the fact that when your dad was a boy S. Miss beat some good schools. Western also has something in football S. Miss never will have...

national championship

I never knew WKU had a national title in football. Congratulations. 04-cheers When did you win it?

2002 and lost in the championship game of 2 others in the late 70s. One was a beatdown by Tech. Back then (the ones Western lost) what is today known as FCS was Dll. Then it was switched to 1AA and later to FCS

The center (David Carter) on that team that lost to Tech just passed away this week. He played for the Oilers for 7 or 8 years

In what division did WKU win that title?

FCS/1AA same as Appy and Georgia Southern. Western beat Georgia Southern in the semi's and McNeese State in the finials. McNeese State had been the best program for a few years. They beat Western by around 20 first or second game of the season.

FCS was 1AA, Division II is even lower.

FCS was 1AA, Division II is even lower.

What was formerly known as 1AA(today FCS) was called Dll by the NCAA

Only the name changed not the levels/classification . Today Dll is lower but not back then
