They (and the other Sunbelt teams) only travel a fraction of the # of fans we take to road games against them. We simply don't want to be on the same level as ULM, UL-Laf, and Arkansas St. That is it in a nutshell, regardless of what they would like you to believe.

Don't forget Troy.

Most USM fans wouldn't have any problem being in a conference with ULM, UL, Troy or Arkansas State. Those are easy locations for us bbn to travel and for them to travel to us. Do you think the national media really cares if we are playing against UNT/UTEP or ULM/UL. The local media would certainly prefer UL/ULM.
