63-7 loss to Alabama actually doesn't look all that bad at first glance, but when you realize that the starters were on the sidelines after the second series of the second quarter.

South Alabama would have so given the Tide a better game

That's why Saban called Atlanta instead of Mobile. He didn't want "a better game" the week before Auburn.

Your tongue-in-cheek comment is noted and appreciated, but South Alabama fans aren't talking about when they'll be invited to the Big East.

Wait, GSU hasnt been invited to the Big East? I thought the media had the acronym confused and were hearing "TCU" instead of "GSU"

I was thinking that since GSU was classified as 1-AA helped them, plus the athletic department in Tuscaloosa figured they owed Curry something for the untimely encouragement for him to leave the Capstone. USA being unclassified probably was a factor in not getting to play Bama this year. Matter of fact South doesn't seem to be in Auburn's or Alabama's plans anytime soon.

South Alabama was to busy playing division 2 programs

Dont worry, im sure Arkansas will schedule you soon enough to even it out. It usually doesnt take them long to find the new Sun Belt school on the radar

Was getting odd when Bama declined a penalty that would have given GSU a first and 15 to just let it be 2nd and 10.

Yeah, GSU's 63-7 loss to defending national champion looks bad, unlike say, Troy's 56-6 loss to defending national champion Florida last year.

Well actually GSU did not show as well as Troy. If not for the CBC poor ole Bill feelings the Tide would not have run the same play every down of the last 4 possessions with the # 12 running back. Sorry despite your hopes, your Defense did not pridefully bow up.

Remember this Mr. Saint that Troy team who lost to FLA then would beat you 50-7 now. An unclassified USA team beat GSU and will again next year and most likely will forever. That said USA will have a very long hard road before they can beat TROY.

So crawl away to your hole and think before you take swings at a team ( Troy) with whom you will never compete .
Go to your fantasy cave where you can drink the Blue Kool Aid and have friends who talk about how good last night was for your program.


Hey here is something where you are # 1
Georgia State University, pridefully boasting they have the largest Campus Police force in the nation. And they need it.

Win an OOC game Sunbelt!
You guys talk like this is the conference of champions. And we already got the CAA a plus one in basketball by beating Troy tonight. Sorry Old Timing Man.

Troy will probably finish last in the Eastern Division. Just so you know.

Yeah, you're right. Last night, and pretty much the entire season has been a complete blunder for GSU.

It started off with a dedicated section in Atlanta-Journal Constitution, followed by the 8-part ESPN series culminating in the team being featured on the cover of ESPN the Magazine.

Things got worse from there, as GSU got a weekly show, "Inside Panther Football," on CSS, not to be confused with the show it precedes, "Inside UGA Football."

Then the lowly Panthers end up clinching a winning inaugural season and averaging just under 17,000 fans at home.

To cap it all off, now the Panthers finish the season with its 4th televised game of the year, this one nationally, hosted by ESPN College Game Day crew, against defending national Champion Alabama, all the while having to bear the burden of receiving nearly half a mill while getting national exposure.

Even the recruiting has suffered because of the Alabama game:

Meanwhile, the vaunted Jaguars of USA are either unheard of or thought of as a Division 2 program outside of Mobile, and boast a "perfect" 2nd year record where they played a whopping 3 Division 1 teams, highlighted by their 5-point escape against the "lowly" GSU.

What can I say, we'll just "crawl back" to our hole of national media coverage as we transition to the CAA, a conference that has been consistently ranked ahead of Sun Belt in Sagarin ratings for years now. By golly, what a terrible future GSU has ahead of itself, LMAO!!!!

I'm sorry, but I just can't help but laugh hysterically anytime a GaSt poster attempts to put down the SB by stating how "vastly superior" the CAA is. That's awesome. You guys would KILL to get in our conference, right now.

We would kill for Big East, work really hard for C-USA, but hardly flinch for Sun Belt. See, Sun Belt as a conference has an atrocious academic profile that would be an embarrassment to the nationally ranked GSU programs in business, law, policy studies, economics, etc. I mean for crying out loud, look at USA's admission requirements. You need what, a pulse to get in? Most junior colleges in Georgia have higher admission standards than USA.

Furthermore, considering that Sun Belt basketball ranks about 10 RPI spots behind the CAA on any given year, moving our basketball team, however easier the competition would get, would not be in our best interest. Baseball is one of Sun Belt's strong suites, but let's face it, the sport is not as popular as football or basketball, so the trade-off would not be equitable for us to say the least.

So why would GSU even consider joining Sun Belt? Simple -- it would be a stepping-stone for a respectable FBS conference such as C-USA, and who knows, maybe even Big East down the line. But if you, or any other Sun Belt fans think for one second we would "kill" to be in your league, you are sorely mistaken. Sun Belt would be nothing more than means to an end, and the end would be something between C-USA and Big East.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Ah, you see, two different paths. South chose the slow and steady approach. Red shirted all of our eligible players our first two years, who were still able to play thanks to our unclassified status (funny your heralded coach didn't know that, whoops), slowly built up the competition, made winning a habit, etc. THEN, in later years we have our paydays and step up in competition. We'll get close to a million for going to Tennessee in 2013, a figure you'll never approach. We have home games scheduled with SEC, ACC, Big 12, and CUSA teams. We averaged over 18,000 fans this year with a tenth of the population base of Atlanta and less than half of the enrollment of GaSt, playing the schedule that we played. We took 4,000 fans to our first ever away game 4 hours away. Had 400 go to California, in our 2nd year as a program.

Meanwhile, GaSt can't draw 10% of its students to home games, has crap for a traveling fanbase (maybe 40 GaSt fans in Mobile for the game), and has nothing on future schedules that would encourage excitement from players or fans alike. Wait, does GaSt even have a schedule for 2011? Credit where credit is due. Good job with all the pub, just so long as you know that the only reason you got it is because of your coach and his ties. And after this, your inaugural season, back to obscurity you'll go.

Saint, I'll give you this buddy - you are one entertaining son of a gun.

P.S. Aren't there SOS listings out there that show that South Alabama actually had a higher rated schedule this year than GaSt?

And this is why I love this guy!

That little blurb about South's admission requirements really stung. Ouch. I could go on about our Tier 1 status, med school, endowment, yada yada yada, but blah. None of our schools could ever hope to be the Yale of night school such as GaSt. Alas . . .

You continue to show just how little you understand about the grand scheme of things. Congrats!

Saint obviously you live in your own world..there in the blue cave. Maybe no one knows USA football and that is just fine. GSU is the national water cooler joke of the week.
Look at your schedule for next year.. Oh sorry I forgot. You have no idea who you are playing next year. Or who future opponents might be. Gee Your football schedule page says " NO FUTURE EVENTS SCHEDULED". No joke.
South fans have a complete schedule and have games scheduled with a lot of schools you might even recognize all the way out 2022.
You question our schedule.. how funny.. with the exception of Lamar did GSU beat anyone who gives scholarships?
for every Alabama you scheduled a Lambeth..and lost.

By the way at the GMAC Bowl Reception last year I asked an asst Commissioner of Conference USA about the potential of up and coming programs. In reference to G State U he laughed and and said " they will always be what they are, a school where even the alums do not care. They might as well be in Tifton for the market share of Atlanta they bring" .

The answer for you Mr Saint is to shut up and watch your Team , who obviously is doing everything the right way, grow, dominate and join the Big East . Let your school and team prove me and others wrong.

By the way all football merchandise is 50% off at your bookstore right now.
Humm no schedule for next year or any year.. fire sale.. Next they will turn your little bitty practice facility back into something PRODUCTIVE ....an empty warehouse . By the way if they do, leave the nice security fence, the crack heads like security.

I'm seeing some faulty logic here.

If you think our conference sucks why lobby for membership.
