Its a cryin shame this has occurred, but is done for purposes of self survival. Everyone knew it would end up being like this in the end didn't they? Everyone talked about realignment for months, even years.

USM yes Marshall no. Don't ask me why as I haven't gotten an answer

Because they were IAA so recently? People on this board don't talk about that. I think it matters. I like Marshall, I'm just telling you where I think they fall short. "Just fine" folks notwithstanding, people do pay attention to your peer group.

Call me a CUSA homer but unless your conference schedule has one of the following: Oklahoma, Michigan, LSU, Oregon - it really is 6 of 1 and a half dozen of the other.

And they have better fan support than all these schools except for ECU.

Is it simply due to tv market? Because New Orleans, Tulsa, Dallas, & Greenville > Hattiesbug

Why not Louisiana Tech?

Gezz USM fans doing what they do best. Put that brave face on. You can rock on about everyone being out of the big 5 but you are clearly a peg down "of the rest" and the suggestion that you turned down and offer is pure comedy. No ones turning down anything if it means getting out of the crap box called CUSA. Lateral move my ass. There is a reason basically all the schools with 30+ million dollars outside of the Big 5 banded together, and its because the programs that are serious and that actually have higher ceilings wanted to dump the ones that aren't. That's the reasons as much as anything.

And i agree. No thanks to the Big East unless they pay us to come there.

and this comes from a fan that says he has three 1st team all conference basketball on his team. Priceless. No thanks to the Conference to be named later.

For someone that assumes to be so smart....well, you get it...lumping us all into "that" group. Bye, definitely won't miss you and a handful of others that have forced me to put you in the NC group of as$holes HoF. I'm sorry, are you still here...bye bye. Run along little doggie....aaaand herrrrreeee comes Casey....and they're off....SJ is still taking a dump in the gate while the field leaves him behind....scratch that one from your ticket

East Carolina has really surprised me. All of them, actually, but ECU most. I look forward to sharing a conference with the new schools.
Can't wait till all the deserters actually leave.

Sure. You'd knock old ladies down and stomp them in the mud to punch that ticket out of CUSA.

Not sure when if ever I said that about all conf players . I might have said something to the effect we had 3 all conference caliber talents and that Lebo failed to play one of them enough to deserve it, but I've never thought or said we had 3 deserving players this year.

Kemp 1st team 2013
Paul 1st team preseason, 2nd team
Richmond averaged close to 20ppg the last 10 games

Richmond will probably be all CUSA next year though so what I said wasn't much of a stretcha bout having 3 all conference talents, which is what I said, not specifying a level team.

ECU can't even stay in the Top 100. Boy, sit down somewhere and let the men talk.

It's cool brah. Just put that brave face on and tell us how you wouldn't take and invite if given and how much you love new CUSA. That's what you are stuck with anyway. You just as well learn to love it.

I truly believe USM is the next school is once UCONN and/Cinnci leaves. They have the support over UMASS with the new schools.

He is a small pony so not much will fit up there. Was only trying to convey that the new schools want to be associated with USM despite what ECU message board fans say.

And I'm saying piss off with your support. We don't need anything from Southern Methodist.
