Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015

[Blue Dawg]

They are SWAC. It's not like they are as good as NSU and other SLC teams.

Dont care. I learned my lesson.

Spoken like a true fan. ...100%

[Earle]

There are far too many schools moving up to fbs level simply because they have a larger then normal fan base. Hell some have done it even without a large fan base hoping by some stroke of luck or divine intervention by god, they hit the cash cow.

Moving up isn't something you take lightly or because you want to keep up with the jones. Sure you'll get an increase in scholarships but you also get an increase in the burden that comes along with that, like titleIX and higher expenses and travel cost.


Needless to say for everything to match up, you have to be able to find a conference that fits what you're looking to achieve and is also open to accept you.

Well said!

Let me enlighten you! We started playing NSU about 14 years ago. Our series record is something like 6 to 6 or 7 to 6. ULM posters on the Warhawk Discussion Board offered similar comments when SU visited Ewing

Coliseum to play them in basketball in 2013. "They're a SWAC school!", they said. When the final buzzer sounded, the score was SU 68 - ULM 39. It is a bad thing to think of onesself too highly!

[boxerdog]

Southern has a great alumni fanbase. Lots of successful and productive people who will travel to Ruston in droves. Really looking forward to mingling with them pregame, watching their awesome band perform, and cheering the Dawgs on to victory.

These guys don't seem too bad so far. Much better than those losers from that school in Laughayette

I'm looking forward to this one for much different reasons than that other home game we have with an in-state school.

Earle my friend I respect your words, but Tech is no ULM or ULL. This game will not be close, over in the second quarter. There is no way around what is going to happen. Southern pose absolutely no threat on the gridiron. Just saying the honest truth, no trashing talking is needed.

I'm not sure if you were serious or just taking a jab at Tech, but if any fans down there didn't/don't know we are FBS (and not FCS like yall), then they aren't fans I would be bragging on.

Care to make a gentlemen wager on that?

I honestly don't think your about that life. I am doing you a favor, save your $.

^Truth^ See NLULM, a school that has no business trying to compete at the FBS level and are only moved up to FBS because that's where Tech was.

You guys thinking you can be competitive with Tech in the game is about as ridiculous as Tech thinking we could compete with y'all at halftime.

If the average fan actually knew what he was talking about, his team would be undefeated each year.
