I found it interesting that people want to biiitch so much about conference geography. College Football conference's had bigger geographies in the 1920's and 1930's than they do today. And I think we'd all agree that the transportation systems were MUCH worse back then than they are today. Back in the "horse & buggy" & railroad train days of 1920, the SEC members were:Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. In 1922 Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane, Vanderbilt and Virginia Military joined, while Sewanee and Duke became members in 1923 and 1928 respectively.

So, in 1922, LSU & Tulane were in the same conference with Maryland, Florida, Kentucky and Virginia. Imagine the long train rides for those games. LOL! Today's Marshall & ODU fans would puke on their shoes, rather than be in the SEC back then.

LSU and Maryland have only played each other 3 times 1951 , 52, 54
LSU and Virginia have never played each other.

Well, you didn't give us the rest of the info. How many times has LSU play Kentucky? (Answer is 57 times) Or Florida? (67 times) South Carolina? (22 times) Tennessee? (33 times) Georgia? (32 times) GA Tech? (19 times)

If you're going to do it, don't just do a half azzz job of it.

No need to mention those games because they are all in the same conference now. Everyone knows they've played each other a lot.
It was valid of me to point out the two schools that aren't in the SEC that you mentioned... Maryland and Virginia.

Tulane was in CUSA, we've already been in a conference with them before.

No, my posts on this subject was about DISTANCE, and who shared a conference, back when travel was really tough. Something you MU fans complain about all the time. These SEC schools played each other in the same conference all through the 1930's, 40's, 50's, etc...... when transportation was much worse than it is today. That was the point.

Majority of those games you cite were played after the 70's. The 30 year period from 1930, 40's and 50's (which you point out) these teams barely played LSU at all. I think the most is 12 games in 30 years against Tennessee. That's 18 years when they didn't even play each other. So your point is untrue, these teams rarely traveled between LSU and the other SEC schools because it WAS hard to travel back then, so they rarely did it.

The analogy is real. And startling, considering the limited modes of transportation back in the early part of the 20th century. And, just so the facts are straight, Tennessee and LSU played twice in the 1930's, 4 times in the 1940's and 4 times in the 1950's.

Now, flip that over! Marshall football has only traveled to LA Tech ONE (1) TIME in 9 yrs (including 2021) of membership. Charlotte and LA Tech have never played football at all. And ODU football has never traveled to Ruston. I swear, I don't know what all the complaining is about. But it primarily comes from the fans of these 3 schools.

We've played at SoMiss 7 times and 3 times I think at Tulane.

You don't get it because you are in the geographic middle of the conference!

CUSA HQ needs to throw the East schools a bone every once and a while.

Listen, I like playing LaTech and I think most Marshall fans do too. I'd like to play LaTech more than we do, but we don't play that much because we have too many teams in each division. Before you joined, SoMiss and UAB were in the East division and we played all the time. CUSA has a problem with too many schools that never get to play each other... this means the fans have no connection with these other schools. There are no rivalries. TRAVEL ISN'T THE PROBLEM. It's playing teams that fans have no interest in and not having any rivals.

Marshall's true Rivals are...
ECU - 15 games plus the "bond"
SoMiss - 14 games
Appy State - 23 games
Ohio - 60 games
Louisville - 29 games

FAU and WKU are budding rivalries with Marshall

As a professional hoops player in the Cavaliers system from 83-86' I definitely remember the shot clock and 3 pointers being experimented with by the NBA, the SBC, etc., etc. I never played under either of those experimental rules but I clearly remember being a PF who didn't give much of a crap because I was just a last 2 minute situational inside player who couldn't shoot worth a crap outside of the key or the foul line. Other than the last 2 minutes I was just basically a benched cheerleader in my sweats screaming "Put me in Coach!!!":lmfao:
