GS probably has a tougher ladder to climb but the university is one of the fastest growing schools in the country and the football program won its conference in its first year FBS going undefeated, in the reject conference. Winning is a culture there. Winning has its way of creating good things. If Georgia Southern keeps winning, in another 10 years, I think you will see people saying Georgia Southern should be in a P5 conference. You cant ignore winning. I will be interested in seeing if ECU can continue to win the way they have the last 2 seasons. If you guys can continue that kind of pace, good things will happen, but that question still remains unanswered.

East Carolina has 6 losing seasons since joining a conference nineteen years ago and just three with less than 5 wins. East Carolina has demonstrated the ability to win at every level they've played over multiple conferences with changing memberships. I think the question has been answered.

Ok so in 19 years you have had 13 winning seasons, which is fine. Although that can mean you were 6-5 or 7-4 many of those years which is better than average but not owning the conference. How many times have you won your conf the last 10 years? I mean you guys are talking moving to the SEC. I would be more intrigued with the argument had ECU had more 10-2 or 9-3 seasons with some big OOC wins and owned your conf over the last 10 years. I know you guys have been good the last 2 years.

In 08 you lost 5 games including kentucky in a bowl.
2009 lost 5 games including loss to Ark in bowl
2010 lost 7 games
2011 lost 7games
2012 lost 5 games including loss to ULL (sunbelt)
2013 lost 3
2014 lost 5 games. Did beat a not so good VT team, lost to a not so good Florida team in a bowl.
Not dominate to me. I think ECU has potential and could become much better but they havent quite dominated the conf they are in.
