ETSU will get swept by KSU before we are off probation. They are not the top eschelon team they think they are. It's not a wonder why we're having such success that unfortunately is not being shared by UNF. We have the program, the talent pool and the previous success to run circles around ETSU in a few years. To think this conference is going to be ran by ETSU is absolutely absurd. We ran over D-II schools with strong programs and small budgets.

We didn't feel like we belonged in D-II when we won 3 national championships in 1 year. Kennesaw's strength is ETSU's weaknesses. They have no proximity to a large economic hub, their team has struggled against us twice and we're mid-pack of the conference, and they have failed in bringing this conference to a bigger level. They can't beat the sub-100's let alone even hang with them even with the prolonged D-I status.

Just wait until this is Kennesaw's conference ETSU, we'll smile graciously as we pass you on the ladder of success.

Ok but first win games in the NCAA tournament, and get ranked in the top 10 in the nation. If you can do that ill kiss your rear as you pass us on the ladder of success.

PS..why all the hatred? Oh well, see you in the ASUN tourney...OH WAIT. Nevermind.

Nick M- What's all the Hate with ETSU. I didn't care for KSU. But I think both programs have bought alot to the A-Sun in terms of excitment and a new rivarly. Is the reason your not showing us love is that your season is over after this week or is it that KSU still has two years of probation. and can't have a chance to good dancing or to the NIT.

I love the new rivalry and it sure beats the old UNF/KSU one in the peach belt but I'm tired of the crap the ETSU fans put out there like the rest of the schools in the conference are inferior. They're no better than we are. Sure, hate on us that we're improving our school and battling through a horrible 4 year probationary status, but it's not because we're a lesser school.

The two games you played us this year in basketball we dropped the ball and to say otherwise is stupid. A few seasons from now, the experience is going to catch up and you guys will either be forced to step up and compete or dwindle in the ranks. KSU will lead this conference where it needs to go, not ETSU.

I don't hate ETSU, it's just a rivalry and I want to win against your school moreso than any other school right now. That's what a rivalry is.

I agree with nick... I do not think the a-sun has a team that I would like KSU to beat more... I cannot wait for next season!!! I am looking forward to seeing how we will replace Ingle at point.... I think we need some more composure at the position.

Guess you will need to wait til next year to see, SINCE WE BEAT YOU GUYS TWICE! NUFF SAID! Games were close this year, but who walked aways with the W! I cant wait till next year because all our new young guys are going to be even more improved NICKY! Although I enjoy watching ETSU vs. KSU. I am also very impressed with Wooten's leaping ability. Maybe REED will toss Wooten's shot attempts next year!

OK..not every ETSU fan thinks we are way better and way beyond the rest of the league. Just like I doubt every single KSU fan believes KSU will dominate this league soon.

I dont like KSU...I'm glad we have started a new rivalry. Its nice to able to look forward to playing a certain opponent again. We havent had that lately since we joined the ASUN.

One other thing...

What good does that do KSU. You aveage about 800 fans a game. Pitiful.

I guess that makes it easier for all the KSU grads to go to the Georgia and Georgia Tech games.

When our Athletic Staff becomes competent, it'll make a world of difference. Perhaps being the only show in town is good, but no room for growth and expansion.

I know a lot has to do with the future but near future is the key.

Congrats on your season ETSU. I hope you go to final four which would help all of our teams. I don't think you're good enough but hey, sometimes the planets align.

Hold on there buddy, ETSU first has to win the ASUN Tourney. They have won a lot of close games this year, and if the ball bounces the other way in the tourney, then they will be heading to the NIT. I know they beat GW by a total of 5 points combined for both games and the ETSU Lipscomb games have been tough as well as the KSU ETSU Games. Belmont and ETSU went to OT in both games with each pulling wins on the road.

I still think Belmont is going to win the tourney.

You beat d2 schools? GREAT! We've played d2's as exhibitions and beat their brains in for years! You guys have to be kidding me, let's go with a point system.

Fan base: ETSU yep, Kennesaw: still trying to get recognition over Valdosta and UWG.

Student support: ETSU: yep, as evidenced in how many traveled through bad weather to kennesaw.... Kennesaw: nope, the empty block of seats behind the KSU bench proves that everytime you're in Johnson City.

Conference titles? We just ordered another banner. You've yet to play in the postseason.

Now I'll be the first one to say we're not where we once were, but I can promise you that Kennesaw isn't going to sweep us anytime soon, not unless Dequan Twilley, Courtney Pigram, Mike Smith, Micah Williams and Blake Mishler ALL TRANSFER. Sure you might get a win here and there, but that's it.
Oh, and how do you replace Golden? Tell another one of the Ingle's to have another kid, that's about the only thing that family is any good at.

We won't sweep you anytime soon? We almost beat you with our predominately freshman team! Golden will be replaced with a point who can actually shoot AND pass no problem. Conference Titles? we are so new to d1 we aren't even eligble yet we could still give any team a run for their money.
As far as student support, I cant argue that we obviously suck at marketing for the games 3/4th the student population don't even know when we have them. Thats OK though, once we get that fixed all we need is 1/10 of the student body to show up and we'll be close to filling the place ;-)

Well we ALMOST beat Tennessee and ALMOST beat Auburn. Last time I checked, that still counted as a loss. We are ALMOST undefeated in the league too...

we've passed west ga and valdosta..were looking at passing g-state soon. Our school is praised all the time from the AJC to Oprah and i'm confident we'll be competing with the likes of tech and uga in 10 years.

Golden will be replaced easily. in fact i've noticed when we had stegal, wooten, morgan, nickerson, and whipple in which could be our starting lineup next year..we were at our best. Zach berry our freshman pg is going to fine next year, the flashy passes wont be there, but consistant shooting and less turnovers will be. also very talented transfers reggie king an Ryan Daughtery will be eligible..wouldnt surprise me to see King starting next year in place of either Berry or Morgan.

The Ingle's don't need to have another kid, in fact they should be sterilized in order to prevent them from procreating entirely. That whole damn family is obnoxious. Good luck in a few years when you're eligible for postseason play.

bleh, i can't wait till we're eligible and KSU has something to play for... that's a scary thought KSU is just playing for kicks and still giving you guys a run.

"Just playing for kicks"... is that how you justify not being able to pull out a W? Its nice to know playing to win isn't motivation enough for KSU. I've got a scary thought for you, an Ingle family reunion. Oh, and the only thing you're going to sweep is that airplane hanger we call the Dome, that floor gets awfully dirty with all those KSU fans that travel with their team.

all those fans that travel with you're team will be dead in 4 years

Yeah.. tell that to the Kappa Sigs that went to the UNF game... and even if they were dead at least those stiffs would have plenty of room when they visited KSU, hell there would probably be more dead ETSU fans there than KSU students.
