and that my friend is the purpose of social media-- I embarrass myself when I post things that I would never say or soften in person . I am making my new years resolution : if nothing positive to say about another post I will ignore replying--- I will have my son e-mail me when he thinks I was a jerk --
We all know that Social media has created a nasty world at times-- I have a lot of friends who a big supporters of he who must not be named that continues to post horrible things quite often--

I've made such resolutions too. But, I never adhere to them for very long.

Troy was simply a better team. They had better athletes, which I mentioned early on. Disappointed but not surprised.

It is just one game, so let's not abandon ship yet. But, it's going to be a tough bowl season for CUSA. Even if we, as a conference, manage to win half or more than half of our bowls, each game is going to be a real struggle. Well, with the possible exception of FAU, who I expect to win comfortably.

Now, WKU is losing by 10 with 2 mins left, so very likely, 0-2 for CUSA to start.

But Troy was beaten by South Alabama a week after beating LSU.

Two bowl games played...

Sunbelt 2 - CUSA 0 (and one of those games was a complete domination). <-- This is a serious problem folks.

This conference is stagnant AT BEST. Not many historical opponents which means declining fan base interest.

90 yard TD run for Marshall. Marshall 28 - Colorado St 14 in Q3.

Go Herd! End today's streak in the NM underwear bowl.

Oh, and they were not suffering from a hangover after their big win, right?

Some of you.....never mind.

The TV guys said at the end of the game Troy was a heavily senior-laden team this year, some 5th year seniors, and that they will be rebuilding next year. I don't have a clue about Troy's roster, but based on that tidbit, it seems Troy was ripe for a very good year. But, whatever, Troy dominated and was clearly the much better team today. It's not like UNT was a 6-6 barely making it to a bowl team. They were Western Division champs. Except for FAU, they were arguably the best team in CUSA this year.

CUSA's performance in the bowls will speak volumes about the true competitive level of the conference, and shed the final light of truth on Holtz's performance this year.

Marshall is doing the same stupid things we've done in the 4th quarters of games and it is killing them.
1. Marshall started going to a 3-man rushing 'prevent' defense that has led to CSU first down after first down.
2. Getting the offensive plays in with <10 seconds on the clock is making their offensive execution a sloppy, frantic train wreck and nearly a delay of game almost every play.

Marshall 31 - CSU 28 CSU gets the ball again with 3 minutes remaining.

Yeah, but we’re still heads and shoulders above them.

I think it has been spoken. CUSA is SunBelt 2.0. WKU and FAU have been the champions the last three years. Read that again, WKU and FAU have been the champions the last three years. This years was an all SunBelt game.

So what’s our problem/excuse? Are we fine settling where we are?

It does not matter.

Unless our leadership is trying to get us to another level (they are not) we are right where our leaders expect us to be. The good news is that EllAye Tech does not lose to Sunbelt teams in football.

...As of today.

We are stagnant, you nailed it. Not every SB program is as inept as LUL. Sooner or later they'll pass us like our conference did this year.

You guys are such Debbie Downers. Is there anything positive you can say about CUSA?

LUL's not in it!

Middle looking good. If we can finish tonight 2- 2 it will not be that bad overall. Troy was definitely going to beat North Texas. How we lost to North Texas I don’t know. WKU losing to Georgia St. is the only bad loss imo. WKU’s coach got some explaining to do.
