You do understand the argument, right? If he had said USM has beaten more ranked opponents in football I would have just ridiculed him for bringing up football in a basketball thread.
More top 25 wins among ALL sports (later walked back to major sports) than ALL of the other 13 schools COMBINED.
Here's your football wins against ranked opponents for the years 1989,1990, 1996-2018 (All that were listed on Wikipedia) feel free to fact check.
1989 - FSU #6
1990 - Auburn #15
1990 - Alabama #13
1999 - ECU #16
2000 - TCU #16
2000 - Alabama #15
2003 - TCU #10
2010 - UCF #23
2011 - Houston #7
9 wins in 15 years. A very impressive history, no one denies that.
Just this year between just ODU and WKU in just FB and Basketball there are 3 victories against ranked opponents.
ODU Football - #13 VT
ODU Basketball - #25 Syracuse
WKU Basketball - #15 Wisconsin
So that's a third of those total victories just this year. There is no way in hell you have the number of wins to take on the whole conference when you really only have on sport to lean on. Sure you're good at baseball but that's not going to help because if you bring baseball into it there's no doubt Rice, FAU, LT and a few others would easily be able to outnumber you're good wins in that sport. Probably Rice alone. Men's or Women's basketball? Same story. Single schools will have more top 25 wins than USM. So it comes down to football. Would USM have more top 25 wins in FB than the rest of the schools put together? That's a better question and I don't know. A lot of us have only been playing the sport at all or at the highest level for 10-20 years. So maybe. But there are certainly not enough football wins to outnumber the wins from other sports. USM's overall athletic history is not really all that impressive compared to the rest of the conference. Football carries more weight so you've got that going for you. But overall? Nah.
I'd say "checkmate", but I doubt that there are very many chess sets in Hattiesburg.
What's the corresponding "game-over" play in tiddlywinks?

I'm sure Doc gave us that vote. I have no problem with it, but it is kinda funny. It actually may get the team even more confident and fired up. However, if anyone deserves votes, its Old Dominion.

Aliens are real. They are so real. I don't have to provide evidence, but I will wait for someone else to prove me wrong. Until someone else proves me wrong, I am right. Aliens are real.

You might. You might not.
But thanks for contributing yet another totally unprovable boast to this thread. It's exactly what we'd expect from a fan of the team that has won more national titles than all other CUSA schools combined -- in some yet-to-be-entirely defined subset of collegiate sports.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Rice has lost more games than that. La Tech has been playing football a long time as well.
Geez Eagles, y'all can't even win at losing.

RE: Someone gave USM a vote in the USA Today basketball poll this week.
I doubt Rice has played as many whore road games as we have. It is the main reason so many have passed by because we have consistently taken the easy road to just make it by from year to year. Absolutely zero planning for the future...

What are you trying to say? That Mississippi isn't a heavily populated state?
Good one. Proper grammar is nearly as important as dental hygiene.
Proper grammar has no place in today's society.

It's a long ass week with no basketball. At least the USM fans can be excited about baseball.
