Great video.

Here's a question for all in the Sun Belt that is in line with this thread. In the FCS, we didn't have instant replay until the Championship game. Does the Sun Belt have replay?

yes. and it cost us the game against the red woofs 2years ago.

granted......replay got it right.....but without replay we would have won.

Anyone listen to Benson's conference call? He repeatedly said the only difference between App, Ga Southern and FBS were the letters FCS. He even brought up the Sagarin ratings and said both would have ranked in the top 1/3rd of the conference. That was out of Benson's mouth, not mine.

I probably knew that. Thanks.

And that's why I brought it up. Sean Price torched Georgia Southern, but one run he had down the sideline was a very controversial run. He stepped out of bounds, but it wasn't called. Not sure if it was conclusive or not from a picture I saw.

Let's not forget the non-catch that was ruled a TD by Brian Quick for ya'lls go ahead score in 2011.

True. That line about hoping WKU would choose to stay in the new Sun Belt was laughable at best.

Moral victories mean nothing in FBS Football. When it comes to WKU, ASU, UL, and ULM I expect similar results your first season.

We played terrible. We fumbled twice in the 1st, when we were eaily moving the ball. Ive got the game on DvD, have you even watched it once? I sure wouldnt feel comfortable judging the Cajuns...

I'm comfortable in that they scored 35 on you in the first game, we could score 45 with our offense. You will find out just how much your legend of the fall trophies matter the first couple years in FBS football.

He has to spend time over on the FCS board to make himself feel better. He doesn't realize the slate is now clean.

Below I've listed the average combined weight of each position (minus kickers) for each team. This is a small testament to depth, even in starting positions the sizes were not that much different.

Listed in this order WKU | Ga. Southern | App State | UGA

WR 184.5(6'0)|185(5'10)|182(5'11)|195(6'1)

These were all pulled from the ESPN database (which I know isn't perfect), but by my observation your guys are not much larger than you originally thought. Clearly UGA's are...

Here you go Dahbeed. Just like you wanted...lmao.

lol pablo.....you knew it was just a matter of time.....even though i requested a no on that type of data.

it was just too tempting i guess.

Well you can't frame an entire argument on "don't pull out the stats and numbers, but trust me all the established programs will shock you with how big they are in the trenches, just you wait".

Then people pull out the stats and you refer to the age old "eye ball test". WEAK

i don't care what your fictional numbers are from your athletic department. i put zero stock in them. to make you feel better....i put no stock in what western rolls out either.

i do put stock in what i see. you don't have to believe me homie. i'm just one guy offering one opinion.

you may not be very surprised because it looks like you'll be in the east division with the other (smaller) moveups. but when you play the cajuns or the red woofs...you will notice the difference. i'll be long gone so just file it away as an educational experience.

Why are the Cajuns or red wolfs or anyone else in the SBC going to be bigger or faster than any of the other FBS teams we've ever played?

They aren't; but you were not as big or as fast as those teams either. And they were not gameplanning for you. The Cajuns and Red Wolves will be.

Dabeed is a cool dude. His personna here is a bit extreme, but he is definitely one of the good guys. You are unfortunate that WKU is gone and you likely will never meet him.
