Toronto/Big East is still a better bowl than N.O/SBC. Bowls are not an enticement as far as I'm concerned moving from MAC to CUSA.

The real perk of CUSA is TV and big time image. CUSA is a wannabe power conference. The MAC isn't trying to bring in the big coaches and play in bigger stadiums. The MAC is a 1-AA conference on steriods, aside from maybe NIU and Toledo.

wow

My take:

I find this information about a potential new bowl interesting, because I like college football. As a person obsessed with all things Southern Miss, my interests are tied in to C-USA primarily. Still, what affects college football affects Southern Miss, so I do pay attention.

Marshall hates the MAC because they feel they weren't treated with respect. I'm not too pumped about the SEC because the way they've tried to stomp out C-USA and cheat to get to the top. East Carolina could say similar things about the ACC. Other schools and other conferences also come into play.

Still, I don't see anything wrong with discussing what happens outside of our C-USA borders.

Many of us came out of the WAC experience where over inflated egos killed what I consider a very strong effort to build a strong conference.&nbsp; The attitude over there (MWC fans and MWC wannabees) is a win/lose attitude.&nbsp; That is, I want to win; therefore you must lose.&nbsp; My approach always has been win/win.&nbsp; If the MAC and SBC become stronger conferrences....that is good news to us as CUSA fans.&nbsp; The stronger ALL Nonbcs conferences become; the better it is for all of us.&nbsp; Another way to say it....is a rising tide raises all ships.

Rocketfootball made a good post and did not deserve to be flamed. Myself, I think it great other fans from other conferences come to this board and show interest in CUSA.&nbsp; The fan I am disappointed in is the fan that could care less about CUSA and makes no post on this board.

Again, that's great, but this wasn't about CUSA or the impact this would have on CUSA. This is a thread about MAC and Big East bowls. Period. No direct or indirect connection to CUSA.

Hate to tell ya, but any bowl game could ultimately have an effect on C-USA, even it is only indirectly. You need to open your eyes and read between the lines a little.

Read between the lines? Whatever. You need to be fitted for a tinfoil hat.

Nice smack attempt. My 2 year old son could have come back with something better than that.

:rofl:

I only work with what you give me. Read between the lines. Cripes, you could use that as the basis for ANY discussion. Pitt got new uniforms? You better read between the lines because it could imapct on the MAC. If your son can do better, then you should get kid typing because I'm sure what he would post would be much more interesting and much more inciteful than what you post.

MAC topics belong on MAC boards. Otherwise, why even have separate boards? Why don't we just create one board and have a big free-for-all? I'm sure that wouldn't see anything wrong with that either, would you?

Fella, are you not paying attention. Like I told you, a fan of a team that has only been to two bowls in their entire history, lost both of those and hasn't been to a bowl in 36 years is not alllowed to have an opinon on this board about bowl games. Go find some junior college conference board and post there. You are worse than insignificant, you are just nonexistent.

Seems like you are having a hard time getting some of your fellow C-USA fans to feel the same way that you do.

If you ever took off your glasses you would see that I do post very interesting and knowledgeable stuff.

As for my son, not sure if his posts would be better than mine but they sure would be better than yours. 4 out of every 5 posts from you say "that is not a C-USA thing and doesn't belong on this board! :crying: "

I don't see how this is any different than discussing how Troy beat Missouri in football, how XXX Bowl (non C-USA) turned out, or how UNC beat Illinois in hoops. None of these are C-USA related either, but there's no argument about their inclusion. Why is the MAC any different?

Not really. Southern Miss Alum always jumps in to say "Well, golly gee willikers! Can't we all just get along?" Then he posts a few news articles while singing Kumbaya. If the PMs and IMs I've received are a good indication, then a good number agree with me and also really liked my "MAC oxygen thieves" comment. How quickly you forget the calls to ban MAC fans that came not too long ago.

Scores and results can and do impact on rankings, SOS and RPI, depending on the sport. Posting a score or game summary is topical and relevant. But having a discussion of maybe if there might or might not be a bowl that maybe might be in another country, if it happens at all, that has absolutely no bearing on anything that happens to CUSA is best served on the boards of the involved parties. Where it was to begin with! I mean really, what is the point in starting a thread here, about something that does not pertain to us, that was started and exists on another board?

As I have said along, these MACsters serve nothing here but to clutter our threads with their injections of MAC news and developments. Aside from the regular Herd-bashing, a few actually come over to get on their knees and beg for admission to CUSA ( like Kit Cat )

They contribute nothing to our forum other than your typical MAC pollutants.

I say BAN 'EM ALL.

Here's the thing though......if a MAC fan, or any other conference fan for that matter, comes over here and trashes C-USA or any school or fan of C-USA then I agree that is wrong and don't see any problem at all with you guys banning them.

But if someone comes over like me and gets treated like you treat me when I didn't say anything wrong, then you are the one that is in the wrong.

So, if someone comes over here that is a MAC fan and says something bad about C-USA why don't you delete it or ban that person? But if someone comes over and has a good discussion you are just showing your immaturity and ability to stereotype by complaining about that person posting on the C-USA board. Go back and look at most of the topics on here that are non-CUSA related and see who started them. Most times they are C-USA fans, not MAC fans.

Here is where you are wrong. In another thread I congratulated the Herd for their attendance. I then asked a Southern Miss fan about their Spring Game attendance and if it was free or not. Both a USM fan and Marshall fan explained what happened at their Spring Games. I said that was cool and explained what Toledo did, and in no way meant it as a MAC thing or to spout off about the MAC. You then replied with some MAC slam, the first time anyone mentioned the word MAC in the thread outside of a couple of other MAC slams by Marshall fans at the beginning of the thread.

So in the case of that thread the MAC fan congratulated and said it was cool with how C-USA teams handled their Spring Games and didn't bring up the MAC at all. However, a few Herd fans brought up the MAC and slammed it for no reason. The Herd fans were the ones that put a damper on that thread, not any MAC fans.

Did you ever wonder if the MAC fans would come over here and defend themselves if some of the Herd fans, like yourself, stopped slamming the MAC?
