It's not really a UTSA troll, it's just how they all are.

Look at us, we play in a dated "dome" (don't even know the definition of dome) and we sell out our stadium with free chicken and beer! LOOK AT US GUYS!

1. Not all UTSA fans are trolls. Most UTSA fans I know are cool and reasonable with realistic mindsets but just like any other fan base, you will have a few that will "take it to the next level" and come off as trolls.

2. You're being a troll yourself. Your unsubstatiated and uneducated comments have essentially crossed the line that pretty much just shows your hatred for UTSA for whatever reason (maybe due to jealousy, bitterness, lack of success where you're from, etc.).

3. I reported your comments since it seems that you are attacking UTSA fans in general.

Does the T in UTSA stand for Thin-skinned?

Can we just do a retro-active trade of WKU for UTSA....please?

It's nice to see some of the animosity between the nBE defectors and remaining C-USA teams start to fade away from these boards and replaced with animosity between current members, atleast it's relevant.

Do you even know the definition of troll? I'm stating my opinion on having a weak commissioner and an AD that is ok playing in a gutted conference. I have zero interest playing no named teams that aren't geographically close.

By the way, some of you that are badmouthing UTSA are lucky that RowdyRunnerRowd isn't on here (in this thead) because if he was, he will make many of these UTSA haters look like fools by putting them on blast.

I am really trying my best not to join the pissing match. But you do realize of all FBS programs, you are close to rock bottom with in terms of "no name". I am not saying WKU is some well-known program. But we are coming off back to back winning seasons, a bowl appearance (a loss), and the hiring of Bobby Petrino. I'd say our name carries a little more weight than a startup that hasn't even played a full FBS schedule. So look in the mirror before you start casting the "no name" stone around. You have accomplished nothing to this point.

We'll have our hands full for awhile as it is.

I don't think Tulsa will be here, but UTEP and Rice should be around for awhile, possibly forever. Even when Tulsa leaves, CUSA can add another Texas or Louisiana school that travels well regionally and who has potential to grow into something big. It won't be the end of the world. I'd rather see all of the movement happen sooner rather than later so that we can all settle down in our respective conferences and get to work.

Everyone just needs to relax on the UTSA issues. They will likely never play a down in C-USA and will be in either the MWC or the nBE soon!

they looked pretty good to us a couple of months ago.

Although I'm still not sure what a "hilltopper" is.

Here ya go:
When the current WKU campus was established in the early 1900’s it was built on top of the one prominent hill in Bowling Green. The area around Bowling Green is relatively flat so this hill stands out. The residents of Bowling Green in the early 20th Century referred to the students on the hilltop as “hilltoppers”. The description took hold and by the 1920’s our athletic teams became referred to as the “Hilltoppers”. Bowling Green is not part of the Appalachian Mountains or foothills. In fact, the entirety of the western half of the state of Kentucky is composed of mostly flat land or gently rolling hills.

Cool. I've always wondered why y'all were called "hilltoppers" myself.

Glad to be helpful. It is quite puzzling to some who know the geography of Kentucky but to those who don't know the geography, they assume it has something to do with "mountain folk" of Appalachia, hillbillies, etc.

Someone please explain to me what is meant by being called a "troll," as I have been called one on several occasions in the past. I'm guessing that it's someone who crashes a thread with opinions that are inconsistent with those shared by his/her fellow alumni or fans of a certain school. Whatever it is, it's stupid and tired.

I hope UTSA turns into a powerhouse and I'm not joking with that.

USM will probably be the Top 25 standard bearer for awhile but where does it say that 2 nCUSA teams cannot be in the Top 25? The voters are there since USM and UH were in the Top 25 at one point 2 Falls ago.

And another big reason all should want to make plans to come to San Anton'....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYfjq3ZYZbA

This is Wikipedia's definition. I don't think it's so much the content of the post but that the purpose of the post is simply to get a rise out of somenone. I agree it's overused.

"In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion"
