So is the boy a liar or not? He can post what he wants but BigD needs to cash in his cans and send the money in.
Bring that noise to tigerpoo.com
I like Sunbelt better than the WAC because of traveling purposes and costs that are affiliated with it. We could see a bunch of away games and it would be easy on our pocket books!

Moderators should delete the thread.
You know, I really really try to "like" ULM students/alumni, but y'all can sure make it hard. Comin' up in here with all that "Geaux Tigers" $&*%
Watch yourself dawgs25, first the Cajun/Tabasco thread and now pro-Sunbelt...ya suspect...
Sunbelt all the way. Lincoln-Ouachita battle 4-EVA!
Nevermind the geaux tigers... But really, no one can give me a serious reply as to why I'm wrong? All ya'll can give me is douche bag comments? I am not a ULMer nor do I have anything to do with them, but this is what it looks like from a neutral point of view. It just seems like ya'll can dish it out to ULM but can't come up with a decent argument when someone makes a valid point.
You mean kinda like LSU thinks they are better than everyone in the SEC.
Please. Don't give me that. If you can't see why any school would always want to be in the best conference possible and play the best ooc schedule they can get then why bother explaining it?
Make a valid point first, then you might get a valid counter.
Alright I'll spell it out for you BigD.
Tech is 111-66 all time against SBC; we're shaking in our boots about playing these teams. The last lost to an SBC team was in 10 years ago to MTSU and you have to go back to '97 to find the next loss.
Joining the Sunbelt would increase our winning percentage but it's what joining the SBC wouldn't do that is the problem:So yeah we'd be winning games but no one would care cause we're thumping crappy teams.
- Doesn't raise the level of competition (which creates excitement and pride in the program)
- Doesn't raise our cash incentive (Sunbelt has only 2 bowls it's contracted with)
- Doesn't raise our national exposure
The only response most of the SBC members give when faced with this is "Whatever you're just scared cause you don't want to be embarrassed if you lose." So until someone can give a logical counterpoint to those 3 points SBC can go rot for all I care.
Wow, I dont think you could be further from the truth. Every LSU fan that I know is hoping for third in the West and second if they're lucky..
First, I think everyone agrees that the SBC is much better than what it used to be so I think things would be much more competitive for a 4 win WAC team in the Sunbelt now.
As for your 3 points... While they may be valid, they are also very arguable.
1. The WAC is miserable without Boise, so I think winning against more local rivals would indeed bring more pride than winning against horrible west coast teams. (Remember, my argument isnt that the SBC would be better than CUSA, its that the SBC is also a choice that should be considered because there is no guarantee that tech gets an invite from CUSA)
2. I could be wrong about this, but doesn't the WAC only have 3 bowls under contract? Plus, if your winning the conference like you say you would, shouldnt you be in one of those bowls anyway? Maybe your not making AS much from bowls, but you would be saving a TON in travel costs. And speaking of bowls, before a conference would be interested in you, you have to do something for them too and prove you can bring them bowl money at least somewhat consistently.
3. The only national exposure you are getting right now is when your on Boise's Highlight reel. Trust me, it would mean alot more to be in the SBC championship game than to be a bottom feeder in the WAC.
