I think the original poster may have been referring to the on-field superiority of the MAC vs. C-USA as gauged by "head to head" competition in the regular season and bowls.  All the arguments MAKO makes for leaving the MAC for C-USA (and the better TV deal, bowls, etc.) are all still very valid, but the argument that C-USA is a better conference competitively (at the upper half) cannot be reasonably backed up.

BG's win over Memphis was the first true victory the NMAC can claim over the NCUSA. A better arguement (for the MAC) would be its' superiority over the Big East(IE. UofL,USF, & UC).

Well thunder, I think we all can agree the OCUSa is better than the NCSUA. look at the teams i is pretty ovbious.

Oh yeah, Ft. Worth looks sooooo much better than Detroit.

Outside at Ft. Worth - 24 degrees, 14 degree wind chill.
Inside at Ford Field - 70 degrees

Ask the 4,000 people attending *your* bowl game where they'd rather be right now.

And most of us will tell you we can't wait to get to C-USA. What's the big deal?

Apparently the Big East, their future conference PATSY is kicking our @$$.

They are hoping all of that noise will wake people up to watch their bowl game.I know I'm not watching a game that I have to set my alarm clock for :snore:

I have to admit that I fell asleep during the Marshall - Cincinnati game. I'm sure NIU will put on a much better show than the Herd did tonight.

I'd go away quietly Herd, you don't have much, if any, grounds to talk smack this year.

:snore: :snore: :wave:

Well said.

Don't go away mad, just go away. :wave:

Heck, Akron would have done better.
