Just turned on the TV.
Hawaii: What a bunch of jerks. Please win.
They didn't during 2004!
All this bluster! You guys do remember that your team, playing at home in 2004, barely escaped by the hair of its chinny chin chin from defeat at the hands of a team that finished tied for last in...
I stand corrected. Just looked again and found it.
I THINK my last post was removed. Maybe I just can't find it. I think it was pretty mild. Maybe this one will be removed too because what I'm going to type isthat, in the context of Division I-A, the...
Before I say this let me say don't blame Louisiana Tech fans for this comment because I am not a Louisiana Tech fan. And I'm not saying this to be mean, just to inject some realism. Here goes:
In...
I think a problem Troy's going to have with LSU is that its offense isn't that good and one thing LSU still did show in the opener against OSU is dominant defense...particularly in the second half. ...
No question LSU's offense stunk in that first game and the stench got worse in light of watching Oregon State's defense against Boise State. We'll see, though. The Tigers' dominant defense and some...
It doesn't matter which one it is...neither one's fans would walk across the street to watch a piss ant eat a bail of hay!
Obviously, the WAC is a more successful and prestigous league than...
Interesting to note that...WHATEVER the projections are worth (it'll be interesting to see how they compare with reality in retrospect as ULM goes down the Sun Belt in All Sports road), it's...
I was going to be quiet but I can't believe somebody's promoting that crock again. If a "small" school wants to be IA because it believes there are benefits that can't be measured in terms of...
This post is largely to apologize to your community for being such a jerk in the past. I heard about who was taken and not taken by CUSA some time ago. Guess it goes to show that success in...
Well...if you had to peg a reason I'd say because they're in a very large metropolitan area...one of the top metro areas in the country in terms of football talent production...and it's a large...
Oh yeah, I agree Louisiana Tech's defense played a great game against Michigan State and Smoker did play a half. I also thought Louisiana Tech's defense played a very good game against Miami.
...
If Roberson had been playing the answer would be an unequivocal "yes." The BCS league's starting QB getting hurt was a factor in both upsets...but I'd say that K State without Roberson was better...
<<This is what I don't understand, killerdawg. Temple is losing ground. Their bball program is on the decline, not an incline. They have a losing record this year and barely a winning one last year....
<<I bet NCAA will allow FAMU games to count as 1-A for those that already have contracts.>>
Since the 5 IA home game rule won't be in effect I don't think it matters. Can anyone think of a...
I gotta say that I don't see how anyone can blame someone else for thinking CUSA isn't basing its decisions on on-the-field performances. I was just looking at SMU...with its 0-12 2003 record. Its...
Dawg, when I say "metropolitan area" I'm talking about what the Census Bureau calls metropolitan area. Hattisburg is one of the smaller ones but if you go to...
Glm, I didn't say ULL is more deserving than Louisiana Tech. I said that CUSA has indicated that performance in athletics is not an overwhelming factor in its decisions. If CUSA made its decisions...

That's an example of misconceptions I was talking about (though I don't remember if it was in this thread or another one on ULM). The rule on Bowls is a program can count one IAA win every...
Champ, there ARE too many IA programs in Louisiana. However...and I'm not saying this just to flame...there really should be only one. There's only one University in the state that really has the...
I'm to the point of believing they just ought to let anyone who wants to call themselves IA be IA.
However, I think the idea that BCS schools "need" teams like those in the Sun Belt around is a...
Who knows whether they knew what they were talking about or not but:
When I was driving to go fishing this past Saturday afternoon two guys on ESPN radio not only mentioned Toledo as a team being...
