Seems logical and probably what most are thinking, but don’t want to post it. Similarities… A program that consistently wins more than anyone else and is hated by peers for their incredible success.

It has been 10 years since the advent of the CFP and playoff determined champs in FBS. Alabama has won 3 titles (and lost 3) in the last decade with a best-in-class record of 125-13.
Nobody can match their consistent greatness.

James Madison is only 106-22 in that timeframe so they aren’t quite as good as Alabama.

I thought CrApp State might have something near it, but they don’t at 96-34. Pretty good, but not as good as Alabama or James Madison

As far as Vanderbilt’s equivalent, it is obviously Louisiana-Monroe. Perennial bottom feeders that are only allowed to stay in the conference due to a nostalgic reasoning and to keep an even number of teams for ease of scheduling.

You aren't hated for your success. You're hated for post like this. App came into town 24 hours ago and "dog sh*tted all over this dumb place" and you have the ability to post a completely arrogate statement like this. Truly amazing. It makes spoiling your season that much sweeter. Enjoy bowl season from home.

No. ULM is here because they have the heart of a champion despite being in the poorest place a program can be. But they don't whine about the rules. They don't gloat about how great they are when they pull off a great win. They just show up and play. They support their fellow conference members. They don't crap on everything around them. Maybe you should watch and learn.

None of them. Our athletes all still go to class (actually Vanderbilt's probably do, too).

Hahahaha!!! App has a better overall record, 13-5 head to head record, more national championships, more conference championships, more bowl wins, more P5 wins, more ranked wins, more top 10 wins, more top 5 wins, better attendance. In other words, a better program by every metric I could think of. But you try to talk down to App using some cherry picked stat that is simply a result of JMU beating up on teams like Stony Brook and Rhode Island while App was busy building up the Sun Belt. You're welcome.

Yesterday was assault, today the offense has been upgraded to a homicide. +3

We've had some really good years and won a few conference titles, but also put our fan base on a roller coaster to nowhere a lot, and have too many bad years intermixed with the good. Often times if we're not the champion, the champion is one of our fierce rivals.

Not to mention, the last three coaches for them were our previous three coaches from our staff prior to Andersuck.

I think beating JMU by 3 points in overtime was App State’s equivalent of peaking in high school. Congrats on win #7!

Meanwhile, our ranked basketball team won on Friday night. Our volleyball team was in the conference finals (well done, Coastal!) and on their way to the NCAAs, and our soccer team was beating Georgetown on their way to the round of 16. And the football team is still ranked #24.

But by all means, party in Boone like it’s Christmas morning and Cletus got a new pig. JMU has plenty of other things going on to ease the “pain” of our first loss since November 5…

…2022.

I'm starting to think this post was made to trap certain JMU posters. And it looks liked it worked. Well played.

Don't forget one major point that JMU will never change thanks to the grace of God:

When it comes to scenic beauty, Harrisonburg is a literal toilet compared to Boone.

I see how this work. Talk smack, get beat, then change the narrative. Enjoy bowl season. Whiny loser.

USA! USA! USA!

JMU is Texas A&M. Lots of resources. Weird fans. No trophies in this conference to show for it.

You're right... App has never won anything significant in FBS so we have to celebrate the little things. Wait, that's JMU.

Your team’s B1G equivalents

A few that come to mind:

Ga. State = Rutgers (Marketz)
App = Penn State (passionate, large fan base, in the mountains)
Coastal Carolina = UCLA (Beach, baby! And adorable, though not intimidating, color scheme)
Marshall = Nebraska (DEEPLY loyal fans with proud history)
JMU = Washington (Color scheme, passionate fans, proud past and and present)
Ga. Southern = Iowa (Has won league titles, up and down performance wise)
ODU = Purdue (still known more for hoops history but put can score big upsets in FB)

Troy = Michigan (Championships span multiple decades in their league, lots and lots of wins)
USA = Michigan State (Solid program usually that gets overshadowed by in state rival)
Southern Miss = Wisconsin (Proud program winning for a long time but has been out of contention as of late)
Louisiana = Oregon (Multiple helmet styles, Best seasons have been recently)
ULM = Minnesota (Similar colors, national titles decades ago but usually in bottom half of the league)
Arkansas State = Maryland (Lots of success in the past but lost a lot of footing. Colors also match.)
TXST = Indiana (Beautiful stadium, bad performance on field, 2023 notwithstanding for the Bobcats)

No one gets to be Ohio State or USC. Illinois and Northwestern were the others I skipped.

My father liked Auburn when watching SEC, especially before realignment. An Agri school overshadowed by that other program in the state. Back in 70's and 80's if someone was an Auburn fan, there was a high probability that they attended Auburn. If they were a Bama fan likely meant their only connection was they lived in Alabama.
