And you're the one who responded with one game. One. Don't play stupid with me like you do everyone else. ;)

Nah, I can get away playing stupid just with the Libs on here. That said, “I gaurontee” as famed Justin Wilson would say, that The University of Virginia had and has respect for us after that game.

Assuming JSU and SHSU file their notices of intent to reclassify by next summer as required, they will be in the second and final year of the reclassification process during the 2023 football season. They would count as FBS opponents for anyone who plays them in 2023. They would be full FBS members eligible for bowl bids for the 2024 season. They would be eligible for a bowl game in 2023 with a 6-6 or better record before any 5-7 teams could be invited using the APR exception.
No need to invite Connecticut and/or Massachusetts at all.

......you missed the point. It was never about the University of Virginia. I'm still waiting for you to post the Head to Head records between LA Tech and ODU in all those sports. Can you spell B-E-E-O-T-C-H? :laugh:

To quote you;
“I mean seriously, is there any wonder none of the schools in Virginia respect LA Tech?”
And I responded with the Univ. of Virginia game stats and clips.
So yes I think they folks in Virginia resoect Tech! Likewise, so do the numerous ODU fans I talked with at our CUSA baseball tournament in Ruston this year. Had some beers with about 15 of them in our parking lot pregame as well.
Really nice people.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to NOT be sharing a conference with McNeese. But....stupid reasons nonetheless. Maybe Tech should consider hiring the McNeese official that cut this deal. He (or she) is obviously a better negotiator than anyone LA Tech has on staff. :laugh:
We ran that experiment once already didn't we?:shocked2:

Geezus. You didn't have to post the same jibberish 3 times! :laugh: It was all bullshit anyway.

But IF Missouri St is still on the table ... does that change the calculus?
Mizz St for all sports. UConn / UMass for fball. UALR / UTA for non-fball.
That'd be 12 bball and 12 fball. Would that be a good thing?
More mouths to feed, sure. But also some insulation against future raids.

You guys dodged one hell of a bullet. Y’all were VERY close to being in a conference with McNeese.

Gosh, at least it isn’t ULM. I guess we are still good.

They're turning down the WAC here, not CUSA.
That'd be a different story for them. As a matter of fact, my understanding is that the original reason for going to the WAC was because there were some plans for the WAC to come up to FBS together down the road. But with NMSU leaving and now SHSU (who joined for the same reason, because they were looking to be "upwardly mobile") the WAC's plans may be on hold. So less reason to leave (plus all the leverage of keeping the Southland in business allowed them to negotiate for all that stuff listed).
I think they'd still leave for CUSA if we offered. Not sure that's what we'd want to do.
