It doesn't appear to be a thing with current students just a range of folks of about 5-10 years ago maybe.

I graduated May of 2015 and was there for 6 years, trust me all 6 of those years plenty of people used that term affectionately lol. My friends and I still call it that and seeing pictures of friends who are still there, I still see t-shirts and see people calling it that as recent as a few weeks ago.

Other than that, I agree with you on everything else. At least the students don't affectionately call themselves "OverDose U", "OutDrink U", oDUI, etc. Ol' Dirty to me never seemed negative to me, nor did even made me think of the ghetto and other things. It's like people today use the word "savage" as a compliment, not a derogatory statement. Idk, it never seemed to bother me, and most students use it affectionately. You don't have to use it if you don't want to lol
Yes, I really wish I could change my screen name... l picked ODUi because years ago I did some work for the University on their in-house cable channel called ODUi (information). I didn't even think twice about it until I got a couple of nasty PMs about my moniker. Somebody even dropped my reputation points for lack of school pride. Obviously the University recognized the error in calling the channel ODUi... I'm not even sure it exists anymore.

Maybe they feel the MAC will not be able to fill all their Bowl tie-ins. That maybe why they have ODU projected to be in the – Miami Beach Bowl vs. American Athletic

Miami Beach Bowl Dec. 19 Old Dominion vs. UCF

Conference USA

– Famous Idaho Potato Bowl vs. Mountain West
– Dollar General Bowl vs. Sun Belt
– Miami Beach Bowl vs. American Athletic
– Popeyes Bahamas Bowl vs. Conference USA
– Raycom Media Camellia Bowl vs. Sun Belt

(10-11-2016 04:29 PM)The Flagship Wrote:  Other than a replacement for the ACC or SEC in the Independence Bowl, here are the CUSA affiliated bowls and payouts per team.

Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl $1,100,000
Hawaii Bowl $650,000
New Orleans $500,000
New Mexico $456,250
Bahamas $450,000
Boca Raton $400,000


The net payout for Hawaii would likely be equal to those other bowls in the 400-500k range considering the cost of travel.

The CUSA champion gets first pick. Likely the one in Dallas.

Dates and kickoff times would have to be analyzed to determine which one is truly best for us.

Sooooo Let's win the CUSA and head to Dallas lol

You're giving them way too much credit. Maybe they are just idiots?
CUSA is the conference that is most likely unable to fill all of the slots.

That would be something. Ole Dirty meets the Big Easy!

It was a blast there when we beat Notre Dame in 2010.

My hatred for Baylor started in New Orleans... But I will never forget that Notre Dame game

For fun: We are ranked 72 in the CBS poll, ahead of Oregon, Michigan State and South Carolina. I wouldn't want to see the actual results on the field against those teams. However, I do believe we are getting better every week.

RE: Don't look NOW but ODU Football moves up on Massey Index
Its crazy to see W&M so low after the season they had last year. Also us above NC State or Charlotte over ECU doesn't seem right either. The Strength in schedule doesn't seem to be playing as heavy as a role as I think it should.

We have 3 losses; all against top 50 caliber teams. We have essentially blown out everybody else on the schedule. It's really difficult to determine just where we are, but certainly between 50 and 75. I think we are far closer to 50 than 75 based on just abusing teams ranked roughly 75ish.

I think the bottom line is that we are Top 50 team based on our "skill positions" and DL, but when our OL is overmatched as they were in the 3 losses, we are closer to 75 or below. It all has to do with whether we match up in the trenches with an opponent.

RE: Don't look NOW but ODU Football moves up on Massey Index
I like every Monarch fan I'm excited over the performance of our Monarchs. It is humbling to see how gracious the staff and players have responded to our success. So.... Don't look now but ODU is tied for 1st place in the CUSA East standing. I know at this time WKU wins the tie breaker because of the head to head competition, but boy am I PROUD.
8 - 3 overall and 6 - 1 in conference
