    If they lose to both of them, they would still only have one western division loss right? If we lose to UAB we would have two western losses and USM would have the best record in the west unless I have their losses wrong.

    At this point the conference championship means nothing anyway. We need to sell tickets and build our fan base. That all went "up in smoke".

    I agree......and I'm hoping they lose 'em both. We need USM to tank RIGHT NOW, to have any chance to win the west.

    Why do we need to win the west? Oh you mean so we can go back to Marshall? Let me know how all that works out.

    With a QB, it may work out very well.

    At this point, what difference does it make? It won't sell more tickets. That ship has sailed for another year.

    For us to see the needle move as a program, we have to string together multiple 9-10 win seasons, play for and occasionally win the conference championship, win bowl games, AND CARE ABOUT EVERY FAN ENOUGH THAT OUR COACHES AND ADMIN CAN SEE THEM INSTEAD OF JUST THE END OF THEIR NOSE.

    It matters because 1st is better than not 1st.

    They give trophies for it.

    Coaches put it on their resumes.

    If your position is that they don’t matter because they don’t increase ticket sales, I’d love to see your evidence for that. CGs have been so infrequent around here that you’ve got a very insufficient sample size.

    Maybe we should advocate for Belton to get a shot at QB

    Did it help Western and Marshall sell tickets?

    The ONLY thing that will help sell ticket is national attenention like Top 25. Our potential fans don't even know who the C-USA teams are.

    Marshall isn't a western loss.

    I think winning 5 bowl games in a row and ticket sales going down is a safe indication that a C-USA championship wouldn't boost sales.

    Gotta be a Top 25 ranking so the average fan actually hears about it.
