Until ODU can be at least competitive against mediocre FBS schools, I would keep my mouth shut about other programs.
I mean App State isn't exactly mediocre... Their only losses are to Tennessee (in OT), Miami (who hadn't crapped themselves yet), and a narrow loss to Troy (who may be the best team in SBC history considering they just become the first ranked team and only lost to Clemson, and only by 6). So App State's only losses are respectable enough that you can't call them mediocre. Had they lost to ULL or NMSU, that would be a different story.
And as much as I hate to admit it, La Tech is 0-1 against ODU, so maybe we don't have much room to talk bad about them. Considering that this is only ODU's 3rd season in FBS and 7th since restarting their program, the fact that they are bowl eligible and still in the running for a division title going into week 12 makes them respectable.
Doesn't mean they should be trashing programs younger than them (and only a few are), but it does mean they deserve at least a little respect.
Stop this. You must let the hate flow through you.
Don't let things like perspective give you pause.
Just because La Tech and ODU literally won the same games in OOC (random FCS blowout and crushing UMass) you should hold on tight to the close loss/moral victory against Arkansas as a demonstration of your complete superiority.
How did you do against WKU?
If we don't meet in the championship game, it very well could be because we beat WKU and you didn't. You haven't been playing MT? You've got it easy. We've had to play WKU and MT for two straight years (3 years for WKU) and we aren't in the east.
Im not going to argue that ODU and LT are equals, but it is much closer than a couple LT trolls make it seem. The season is judged by more than 1 game, but you aren't comparing apples to apples as LT got WK at home.
I wish we would have gotten a chance to play Middle this year as they are in a down year. Why are you using them to support anything?
The middle we played was better than the middle now. We got them when they still had their starting QB and were averaging 46 points per game. My point was we had to play Middle (with their starting QB) while you get Charlotte...and we aren't even in the east...you are.

You do realize that Sunbelt team is probably better than your team, right?
That is quite debatable.

Yeah... we do. Look at the past two years.
2014: FCS NWst, ODU.
2015: struggled at UTEP, USM (not bad team, we just shouldve played better than that crap).
2016: ... lookin like MTSU. I think that snapped something in the team, though. So Finish strong and Ill accept it.

2016: ... lookin like MTSU. I think that snapped something in the team, though. So Finish strong and Ill accept it.
See I still think MTSU was actually good in the first half of the season. It took 2OT and a blocked PAT for WKU to beat them. Then they won at Mizzou (yes I know Mizzou isn't very good this year, but they're still an SEC team). They didn't start to slip until FIU, then Stockstill went down against UTSA and it all came crashing down. If ODU played MTSU right now they'd probably win, but if they had played early in the season...
Either way, Tech's defense has gotten much better since then and imo, C-USA handled scheduling for this season very poorly. I understand that with UAB on vacation strange things have to happen, but the fact MTSU hasn't played ODU the past two years isn't good (not to mention WKU and Charlotte have never played despite two years in the same division).

Doesnt matter how good they were, we blew a 20 point lead. Defense didnt do well second half. And when they actually had a stop there was a poorly called PI.
But I think both our offense and defense are better than they were in that game.

RE: C-USA is viewed as a bad conference because......
I understand the ODU fans tryna make that Appy State beatdown look better but I believe La Tech or Western would beat the dogpiss out of any team the Sun Belt has to offer this year including Appy State. I watched their best 2 teams, neither of which is Appy State play last night and La Tech or Western would drop 50+ on them and that's with Holtz and Brohm stomping on the brakes from the 3rd quarter on.

I don't disagree but any of their top three would be the clear cut #3 in CUSA

You do realize that Sunbelt team is probably better than your team, right?
Are you on CRACK? Seriously......you appear to be drug induced. There's something absolutely wrong with you.
LA Tech hears this same Sunbelt "sheet" every year.....and yet LA Tech is about 14-0 over it's last 14 games against Sunbelt teams. The difference is, we usually hear it from stupid Sunbelt fans instead of stupid ODU fans.

When LA Tech loses, they never get blown out. That's because it's usually an upset to an inferior opponent (e.g., NSU & ODU in 2014) or to a very good G5 or athletically superior P5 opponent (e.g., Arkansas) on the road. You don't see LA Tech embarrassing itself by letting anyone --especially a conference opponent-- outscore them 52-7 in the 1st half the way ODU did against WKU. That was pathetic.
