We'd be similar to LSU in that we'd have not ONE rivalry game but several EVERY year (ULM, ULL, Southern Miss). Not to mention big gamers against App state and up and coming Coastal Carolina. Oh what could've been....
You mean Oh what could've been ole glory days of the Southland Conference.. You seem like one of the people who long for the old glory days when we played all the local schools all the time. Perhaps prefer FCS??

The new CUSA will be the old Southland.

Re: Serious Conference Realignment Discussion
WKU and MTSU need to jump all over a MAC invite if one comes. Nah, it's not the best fit, long term, for either school, but any port in a storm...
I read that Agatha Christie novel "And Then There Were None." Bet she didn't know she wrote that about CUSA. Anyone wishing to save CUSA...and good luck with that...has to figure (know) WKU and MTSU are gone, so there are three and you need eight. NMSU, UCONN, Liberty could be 3 current FBS schools, and Sam Houston State and....Whatsamatter U. (or any FCS school will do) can be #s 7 and 8. Have until 2023 before CUSA officially ceases to exist. There is enough time, provided there are the right folks pulling the strings.
Re: Serious Conference Realignment Discussion
Why would even an FCS team join a CUSA that has no long term viability?
What a disaster. Thanks Les Guice.
Re: Serious Conference Realignment Discussion
Has there been any word. Any leaks. Any response at all from the higher ups at Tech. It seems weird that they would sit silently and watch this once great program fall. Nothing from Davidson? Bradshaw? Anyone. This is just strange.
Re: Serious Conference Realignment Discussion
Rumor is that McNeese and UIW will be joining the WAC soon.
If the MAC/MT/WKU rumor is true, I think y’all will be looking at your future conference mates. Either the Texas/Louisiana WAC schools + NMSU will join C-USA, or Tech, NMSU, and UTEP join the WAC.
If McNeese and UIW goes to the WAC, that might end up killing the Southland too. That makes it even more unlikely that ULM will ever drop down to FCS which would be by far your best shot at joining the Sun Belt.
I’m sorry the news keeps getting worse for y’all.

I still blame Tommy for most of this bs.

He’s a fine scapegoat, but it goes well beyond him.

The people at the top are looking like a joke, they need to make an announcement this week cause it's getting really bad.

Drop it to one home and away every year from the regional group. And rotate the regional opponents so that they don't get stale.
Re: Serious Conference Realignment Discussion
I feel like at this point we have to consider the possibility that Guice was selected to destroy Louisiana Tech as a university.
Every move he has made or not made has significantly damaged the institution.
Can anyone name one thing that Guice has accomplished that has advanced our beloved university?

Yes -- it goes as far as Tech football beating every SBC opponent set before it from 2000-2020.
Out wicked step-sisters want to keep us far away the ball because they know we're the prettiest.
