Must be then. I googled FIU golfers and her name came up so that makes sense. Kind of surprised they didnt go with Mike Lowell.
Also noticed that it was not Brett Favre for USM. Who is the track athlete for them?
At least they didn't let Favre send in a photo he took of "himself."

I assume they have to put some females and different sports in there. Would be kind of unfair to the other sports to have all football and men's hoops.

We don't play in this. Why would they promote a school thats leaving.
Because they suspect that you'd be whining if they excluded you but you're right why include this ACK powerhouse. You whine because you say that you have a right to be on this board whenever posters ask why you're still posting here. Yet you puff your chest out because you're leaving.

Figured it would've either been him or Jon Maine.
All of our guys playing professionally are really either too old or too young to be overly relevant... however I think both Donnie Smith and Justin Seager have the potential to be the perfect guys for a campaign like this a few years from now.

Yes. He is not really a fan favorite of 49ers fans though.

Yup. Couldn't have picked an athlete to better exemplify how not to represent your alma mater.

Because it's good for the conference. You guys have gone out of the way to remind us you are CUSA for another year. Start acting like it. CUSA will include you until you aren't here. But they will expect you to do certain things like, oh, I don't know, use our logos on your fields and courts and uniforms.
If you're going to consistently remind us you're in CUSA for another year, then you need to remember you are in CUSA for another year.

I've heard alot of his disdain for the school revolves around them not offering a scholarship to one of his best friends, Mitchell Wiggins the father of Andrew Wiggins.

Wrong poster, that was me saying we still in C-USA. That's the reason I posted in this about who was picked for ECU. Just thought it was a bit strange they/we went with Vonte instead of Jeff Blake (who finished 9th in the Heisman voting in 1991), or Blue Edwards, or the others I posted. But, Vonte did just win Super Bowl and is the highest paid FB in the NFL.

RE: "A History of Greats, whos next?" CUSA marketing...
Of course, Mean Joe Greene gets the photo opp in this CUSA promo since many still consider him the greatest DL of all time in the NFL, but he had a teammate named Cedric Hardman at North Texas who was also an NFL #1 draft choice and who had a multi-All Pro career with the SF 49'ers and Oakland Raiders. He still holds the record for number of sacks in one season for San Francisco.
Had he played for the Jets or the Giants he would have been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame his first year of elgibility, but guess what.....he still ain't in the NFL Hall of Fame which makes many of those old phart voters a bit of a farce IMO (which is biased, of course).
* When Cedric Hardman first arrived in Denton he was 5 foot 10 inches and about 190.........by his senior year he had one of the greatest growth spurts in history and left UNT for the NFL at 6 foot 5 inches and about 240. Texas Tale? No, it is the absolute truth albeit was hard for me to even believe when first told this story.
