Georgia State: Informal Discussions with Sunbelt

[Apphole]

Fact: Our athletics, which is what we are talking about here, go by Charlotte and have for years.

If you choose to ignore that, for what ever reason, then I will ignore your rightful name as well.

If we were comparing academics then I would agree with you.

Insert image of me giving you the finger here.

Where's your UNC-Boone explanation? Me thinks you're projecting your own insecurities about your alma mater's name.

[TheRevSFA]

I agree. Charlotte would be a great market for FBS ball. Atlanta would too.

For Georgia State, you're entering a market dominated by UGA and Tech. For UNC-Charlotte...well it's football..doesn't NCAA football play second fiddle to Basketball in NC?

Your situation is different from SFA, Sam, etc...our schools probably will not move up because of an oversaturation of FBS teams in Texas. UT, A&M, Baylor, Tech, TCU, UTSA, Texas State, U of H, Rice, UTEP...is there need for more?

How much can the FBS sponge hold?

[TheRevSFA]

Wrong again Hole.....I know about the greatness of FCS power McNeese State, however this is about more than JUST FOOTBALL. It includes the entire world of college athletics, and at the end of the day......they are freakin McNeese State.

However, unlike UNC-Charlotte, they didn't need to rebrand their athletics to get attention.

Charlotte is also saturated with UNC, USC, Duke, ECU, Wake, NC State and App State in football.

Not true at all. It was to avoid Crapel Hill getting credit for our accomplishments. Don't believe me go to NinerNation.net and check out the name confusion log.

Wow...that's a major inferiority complex you guys have.

[NinerWupAss]

Where's your UNC-Boone explanation? Me thinks you're projecting your own insecurities about your alma mater's name.

I don't need a UNC Boone explanation. If you don't want to use our correct name when talking about athletics I will use whatever name I want when talking about yours.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Oh my God, if there's not a classification in the DSM-IV for this sorta Group over-compensatory validation seeking insecure fandom stuff, there should be. I think the clinical research should be easy enough. All a researcher would have to do is read the the message boards from USL, Southwest Texas State at San Marcos, Georgia State and now the University of Chapel Hill at Charlotte to see it CLEARLY on display.

I promise you, the conversations, the projections, the dissembling and the delusions of grandeur are ALL identical. Only the names change...and, speaking of name changes, that hyper sensitivity about names is pretty consistent too..

I swear this is better than reality TV! ;)

[NinerWupAss]

Wow...that's a major inferiority complex you guys have.

Nope just the truth. As the poster above said check out the thread and there are plenty of examples of why we need to also change our academic name or take a page out of VT's book and rebrand our academics.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Nope just the truth. As the poster above said check out the thread and there are plenty of examples of why we need to also change our academic name or take a page out of VT's book and rebrand our academics.

You're taking a page straight out of the USL playbook. You're not content with who you are, and you're seeking to take extraordinary steps to distance your name from what you really are, to what you'd like to someday be. Ever seen the definition of "Inferiority Complex?"

And, also following the USL model, you hold yourselves out as the sole arbiters of propriety with regard to your name and the official, approved history of your movement.

THIS is precisely why you're laughed at and mocked, in case you're unaware ;)

And, just to clarify, the strong brand identity you seek can't be fabricated from wholecloth, it must be earned. That's what all of you validation-seeking miscreants appear to miss with your myopic (and Quixotic) quest for overreaching social climbing relevance....

Just sayin' ;)

Appalachian will be leaving very soon as well, yet somehow, our fans manage to refrain from arrogant mantras like this one. Yes, even though we've won 3 national championships, led the nation in attendance for years, beat a #5 ranked BCS powerhouse and hold more national brand recognition than any other school in the FCS, (UNCC included) we STILL manage to come on AGS and have rational and humble discussions with FCS fans. Cee however, hasn't played a down. Their other athletics are mediocre at best, yet they are above the rest of us.

This is the reality of the App/UNCC dynamic. It's what happens when you have one school near a major city that offers nothing in the form of a college experience, but has a lot of students. You have rampant inferiority complexes. They know it's no secret in NC that UNCC is a commuter/single, 30-year-old parent school, but they want so bad to be mentioned in the same sentence as UNC, State, App and other schools that offer 4 years of unforgettable college experiences (local college bars, frat parties, dorm life, school pride shared by all). No matter what division your team will eventually compete in, UNCC will always be what it is, a school with no soul, a paper mill, somewhere to get your diploma and be on your way.

See this is where you obviously know little of our fight. We want to embrace who we are. We want top be who we really are. Hard to do that when our accomplishments are given to Chapel Hill or our name is delivered in the media in 10 different ways. The identity we are earning currently is being given to another institution or not given to us correctly. It is not as much about distancing us from Chapel Hill just for the sake of getting away from them. It is much more about allowing us to stand on our own merits.

Especially when these schools will likely be in the same FBS conference as Georgia State. GA Southern will still be in the FCS.

I defy you to find one non-Cee fan to agree with you about that post. All the FCS bloggers, my friends that went to State, UNC, ECU ect all feel the same way about UNCC. With all the chest beating you do, I'm sure you could find the time if you actually had something contrary to say.

I know plenty about your fight....I've seen every single bit of it before. Yeah, yeah, I get it. You're unique, right?! Just like every other vainglorious overreaching social climbing johnny come lately school. You're simply the next iteration, if not manifestation of sibling inferiority complexes that's been going on since Cain slew Abel because Abel was holding him back and wanted to stand on "his own merits."

I can't wait till you stamp your widdle feet and hold you breath until you turn Chapel Hill blue in hopes of getting your way ;)

You can't actually have a place if you haven't done anything...Why is that so hard for you Overreaching Social Climbing types to understand? ;)

I'd talk records with you, except that you don't have one....I'd talk matchups with you, except you've never matched up with anybody...

From where I sit, you all look like ungrateful spoiled brats. The UNC system took you in when you were a two-year community college, nurtured, groomed and supported you with UNC Funds and helped you upgrade to four-year status...later, again using UNC funds, you added a graduate school. Now that you're "all grown up" on Daddy's dime, you want to be taken seriously on your merit based accomplishments, only you DON'T actually HAVE any ;)

It's a simple concept, really...

[FormerPokeCenter]

Probably as much as you know about Charlotte.......or the McNeese guy does.

I know that Charlotte is the Plan B school of last resort for slackers who either don't have the cash or the grades to get accepted at Queen's College, or who can't afford to go off to school in Chapel Hill, Boone or anywhere else. it also serves the community of kids who flunked out elsewhere and had to come home after Mommy and Daddy refused to pay for failure at a real school....Of course, it DOES provide a much needed educational opportunity for 30-year old working commuter students who need the ability to earn a degree and improve themselves....

Have I missed something??

[Apphole]

.....said the "freakin" McNeese State fan........McNeese State trying to put Charlotte fans in their place about ANYTHING......haha.....classic.
I'd venture to say that more people in Charlotte have heard of McNeese St than people in Louisiana that have heard of UNCC. Mainly because there are tons of App fans in Charlotte, but still, no one on God's green earth thinks highly of UNCC except UNCC. Your arrogance blinds you to reality.

I'm sure that McNeese and Sam Houston fans are rank amateurs when compared to the level of penile evaluation displayed by JMU fans, and - well - that's okay.

You guys should go ahead and go with the strengths that you have ;)

[TheRevSFA]

Probably as much as you know about Charlotte.......or the McNeese guy does.

Let's see..

School was opened thanks to the GI Bill, was almost closed in 1949, then was known as Charlotte College. UNC-Charlotte has 3 different campuses, 19 doctoral programs, and an enrollment of about 25k

UNC-Charlotte, rebranded as Charlotte in 2000 (I think) former member of the Sun Belt (along with SLC member Lamar University). Made a final 4 appearance in the 70s, hasn't been back to the dance since 2005

Does that sound right? I could go look up more info but I just went off of what I knew.

[TheRevSFA]

Well, it's common knowledge that SHSU and McNeese fans would never win a dick measuring contest anyway.

Don't you have some rioting to go do?

[whitey]

Don't you have some rioting to go do?

Little known fact: JMU's annual block party turned riot was the inspiration for Project X.

[whitey]

All kidding aside that riot was unfortunate and definitely an embarrassing stain on the University. I had graduated years before that riot occurred and was more than a bit ashamed. I'm glad many of the worst offenders were arrested and charged. Interestingly, the majority of people charged with crimes from that riot were not actually JMU students.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Little known fact: JMU's annual block party turned riot was the inspiration for Project X.

Do they riot most years, or was 2010 an exception? The movie was released in 2012, but shooting began in late spring or early summer of 2010, making the timing required to get a script written, hold casting calls for actors and getting funding approved a bit problematic from a timeline perspective ;)

Unless, of course, there's a riot most years...

No, not really......sounds like you just went straight to Wikipedia to me..........

You left off a few highlights, such as these:

- Final Fours in 3 different D1 sports (twice in one sport)......no, not FCS
- 1 National Championship Game......this past December (we sent over 7000 fans 3 states away for a Soccer Final Four).
- National Rankings (Top 25 or Top 10) atleast once in the last 5 years in every sport we play, except tennis, softball and volleyball (including mens/womens basketball, soccer, golf, baseball).......mens basketball was ranked as recently as Feb, 2010 I believe.
- 1st or 2nd in the state for decades on the NC Accounting Exam (CPA Exam)
- Only college in NC with a Carnegie Foundation Nat'l. Professor of the Year Winner (Charlotte has 3, BTW)
- Charter member of Sun Belt and C-USA Conferences
- Nationally acclaimed Schools of Architecture and Engineering
- Nearly 27,000 students and over 100,000 living alumni
- Ranked #1 in the nation several years recently for patents and start-up businesses grown at/thru the University


Lots more.....but I'm sure you know all that.

Does US News and World Reports annual college rankings know about your unpolished gem????

Once again, you could NOT be any more wrong. Its not my "position", but a fact that Charlotte is a "1st Tier National Research Level University"....again, thats a fact, not my "position". Look it up if you like. I think its the Carnegie group that places all schools in a "class" and is recognized by virtually all institutions and governments as the "official classification(s)".......As for US News and World Report rankings, our Chancellor (since 2005) has publically stated that we do not provide our schools information to them because he doesn't believe they are a good measure of a school. I actually agree with him on that, but I still wish he would "play the game" because so many people do believe in those rankings. BTW, even so, we have been highly rated in their rankings and others many times over the years. You can look all that up too if you want.

[NormChar]

Funny, I've never heard UNCW or UNCG complaining. Can you say little-man syndrome?

Lol! Says they guy who supports a school with less students than Charlotte. I guess that gives you little-boy syndrome? Almost every one of your posts are hypocritical.

[NormChar]

Where's your UNC-Boone explanation? Me thinks you're projecting your own insecurities about your alma mater's name.

I see reading comprehension is still a huge obstacle for you. He said "if you choose to ignore our rightful name, he'll chose to ignore your's". Pretty simple really.

[Apphole]

Little-man syndrome refers to attitude, not size.

Speaking of hypocritical, if you all are going to continue cry about your name, saying "the athletics are 'Charlotte' and the school is 'UNCC,'" you can't refer to the school as Charlotte as you did here. Either quit bitching or say "less students than UNCC" and "Charlotte football ect."

[NormChar]

Where's your UNC-Boone explanation? Me thinks you're projecting your own insecurities about your alma mater's name.


Nope just the truth. As the poster above said check out the thread and there are plenty of examples of why we need to also change our academic name or take a page out of VT's book and rebrand our academics.

Like I just posted NWA, apphole is extremely hypocritical. Don't let him fool you. App was once upon a time a teachers college, with a different name.

[Apphole]

I see reading comprehension is still a huge obstacle for you. He said "if you choose to ignore our rightful name, he'll chose to ignore your's". Pretty simple really.

There's no distinction between our school name and our sports name. No, that is reserved as a desperate marketing ploy for you folks. He created a ridiculous term that doesn't exist. I only called you what your name is. If you can call the University itself "Charlotte," I can call your athletic programs "UNCC." By your own definitions they are both wrong.

[Apphole]

Who's crying? You were the first to complain about being called UNC-Boone. LOL! Hypocrite!

I'm not complaining. I was just pointing out that the "branding" issue is a serious hot-button issue at UNCC. There is no such issue at App because we've always had our very own name and we refused to bend to the will of Chapel Hill back in the day. When a Cee fan calls App UNC-Boone, it is a direct reflection of what he is self conscious about with regard to his own school's "slave name."

You're delusional, so I won't waste my time any more. It's like arguing with a room full of Chattownmocs'. This condition is running rampant on your campus...

Virginia polytechnic institute and state university was a mouthful. It had nothing to do with being subservient to UVA.

I look forward to seeing similar point spreads when you play ODU and Georgia Southern. Hell, I would not be surprised to see you lose to Campbell by double digits.

What does being delusional have to do with what you think about the McNeese State campus? You need to work on your segways....or your understanding of the English language. Also, please come down from your high horse. UNCC is not the prettiest to say the least.

Hey, I agree. McNeese is a small public school in a small state plagued by funding shortfalls. I think we do just fine with what we've got to work with...

Moreover, I'd rather be us than you. However, if you look just 65 short miles to the east of us, you'll find some ideological brothers-in-delusional arms, the USL Ragin Cajuns, who - like you - are CONVINCED that they're but one phone call away from getting an invite to Conference USA ;)

Maybe you two can play each other in conference or something....you could even establish a trophy of sorts....The winner gets a bronzed copy of the DSM-IV, opened to the section on Delusional Worldviews ;)

Wow, that ASU education isn't really working very well. The "delusional"part refers to Mr. McNeese State talking down to Charlotte as if he is from some great university that is well above Charlotte and that my friend (after seeing images of that campus) is definitely delusional.

Yes, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte just rolls off the tongue doesn't it........nice try. Hole.

You mistake my recognizing you for what you are as talking down to you. I'm sorry that I don't find you as awe-inspiring as you find yourself, but that's probably because I've seen your sitcom before. It's like you guys have syndicated the USL, Southwest Texas State at San Marcos and Georgia State stories or soemthing....

Do you have to pay a franchise fee to use their trademarked name-change method for respectability, or is that like some sort of Open-Source Program you can freely download under a GNU license from SourceForge?

It doesn't matter how many times you repeat this BS, it doesn't make it true. McNeese bares a whole lot more of a resemblance to those schools than UNC Charlotte does. Have any of those schools really ever done anything of note on a national level in ANY SPORT? Of course not.....like I said, they're much more similar to McNeese.;)

BTW, I never said or even insinuated that Charlotte is "awe-inspiring" but compared to McNeese State, the university and overall athletics program.......well, do I really need to compare the 2......I mean, come on man.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Overall athletics program? Please, you don't even have a football team yet. Next

Track and field? I don't recall any Olympians coming from the University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte, but maybe I missed somebody......McNeese? We've got a couple...Triple Jump Bronze Medalist Frank Rutherford is clearly the best known...

Basketball? We won the NIT some decades ago, but beyond that, we've NBA Hall of Famer Joe Dumars, a member of the Dream Team and NBA Finals MVP, declared by MJ himself to be the toughest defender he ever faced. Coincidentally, the NBA's sportsmanship award is named for Dumars...I think we can rule the case closed on Hoops...

Baseball? I heard you guys were okay back in the 70s...but what have you done lately? We've got more than a few MLBers....I'd say that's a toss up...

Soccer? Okay....you got me.

Let me guess...you really excel on the distaff side, right? ;)

On balance, given the size of your institution and the size of mine, I'd say you're doing less with more ;)

[BucBisonAtLarge]

Listen, pageant contestants, there is no contest here. You are all beautiful. You are all winners, even you in the green-and-white new dress and unscuffed pumps.

FBS is not where FCS programs go when the attendance passes a certain number or you win a certain number of games. This is a school policy decision, not making the cut for 'American Idol'. Georgia State in the Sun Belt (or UTSA in the WAC) is evidence of all of this. Now they have the task for making their program successful in the FBS, something that a large chunk of schools playing at that level find challenging, even with a pile of accumulated football wisdom (Bill Curry is arguably an accumulation of something.) Those schools, in making that decision-- large, urban, mostly commuter institutions, like Charlotte-- have to hustle like hell to avoid hanging an albatross around the institution's neck. At least UTSA has the Longhorn Network...

For now the big benchmark for them will be a .500 record and an as-yet-unnamed bowl appearance. I am UConn fan, acutely aware of the string of effort, state bonding and good fortune that took them to a BCS bowl game in less than 10 years, and now, as a UNM fan, how ephemeral any success may be. The UTSA, GaState, and (maybe) Charlotte fans have to discuss here in FCS-land is their potential, for which they should be boisterous and optimistic, but get up underneath the nuts-and-bolts that will make those new teams winners out of the gate, like an ODU.

For now, I would stop wandering into the matter of performance. It is irrelevant for the programs in discussion, I would argue.

Welcome to the party! You're very clearly the patient sort. Georgia State and The University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte have been told that very same thing on several occasions and that's not good enough for them, apparently. For the 437th time, kudos to them for starting programs and making the decision to give the FBS a try.


And, for the 438th time, while most of us wish them well on that endeavor, they shouldn't expect us to let the wildly speculative, if not downright delusional comments about their virtually guaranteed success pass without comment, particularly when those comments are generally attached to ancillary commentary that denigrates this particular division.

Your post was very well written and nicely thought out. However, you do realize that despite the extreme common sense displayed therein, the UNCC and GaState fans will think you've offered commentary that bolsters their delusional worldview, don't you? ;)

[BucBisonAtLarge]

You are all beautiful and you are all winners.

As lifelong football fan, raised 3 miles from where UConn plays, it still took a hearty drumbeat and a lot of accumulated athletic program goodwill and imported football acumen to first build that stadium, then fill it and have a so-so FCS program (1 playoff appearance, ever) begin to welcome Pitt, West Virginia and Louisville, and win a decent percentage of the time. Here in 'Borque, the fans drove a decent coach out of town, a decent athletic program brought in a spectacularly bad choice at coach (fired just before losing to SHSU last year), and now home game tickets with Boise State this year will be plentiful and cheap. I think the local fan base, rabid about Lobo football before, will be chastened by all this, but Lobo football is the only game in town. This is not the case in Atlanta and Charlotte (Texas seems endlessly sotted with football, so San Antonio will likely lumber onward whatever happens to the WAC.)

The talent portion of the competition has yet to begin. They better bring it. Atlanta and Charlotte have tombstones in their sports history (2x the NHL has come and gone in ATL...and the NBA is on its 2nd round in Charlotte). Once one entity goes away, it is easier to watch others fail and go on with life. These are the markets being courted.

Figure a way for each of our schools to get a much larger piece of the pie; instead of throwing pie in each other's face. Children have to be supervised because they cannot be relied upon to play peacefully between themselves; you are not children. If you have to drive each other crazy, do it with compliments.

[91Niner]

Once again FPC, you show your both clueless and a liar. For one, an NIT Title decades ago and one well known player in basketball makes McNeese better than Charlotte?......haha......

Lets see, we have a NCAA Mens Basketball Final Four on our resume and we've won numerous NCAA tournament games in the last 20 years, and that EVEN includes the last 6-7 seasons with no NCAA bid (our worst stretch in literally almost 30 years and we still made a couple NITs). We went to 9 tourneys in an 11 year stretch from the mid 90s to 2005, most of those bids were at-large, not "automatic" from some no-name league. Ever hear on NBA Finals MVP Cornbread Maxwell?

Baseball, you're lying. How do I know, because we didn't even start baseball until the late 70s and we certainly weren't very good back then. We've had our best baseball over the last decade (record and NCAA wise anyway). Multiple players have gone on to the pros (John Maine, Chris Harvey, and others), we have guys drafted most every year and several have made impacts in MLB recently and multiple others are working their way through the Minors.

Golf----7 straight NCAA trips and a number 1 national ranking for the majority of the season a couple years ago.

Soccer----well, even you admit that is no comparison.

Yeah, keep telling yourself how McNeese compares........yeah right.

[FormerPokeCenter]

The transformation into a troll continues. When he finds his way over to the 49er board the transformation will be complete.

I hate to be the continued bearer of bad news with regard to your rather skewed worldview, but since you (as a fan base) have chosen this particular message board as a forum to display your collective delusion, you've invited the responsive commentary that you've received. i didn't go looking for you, you mooks came to me ;) Beyond that, there's really no stretch of the imagination whereby your board is the first choice destination experience you fancy it to be. It's kinda funny, but several of your posters have attempted to hold your board out as some sort of authoritative reference for the altered reality that you Niner fans cloak yourselves in, but for the rest of us, it's simply something to point and laugh at...;)

And, following the USL-Model-for-Delusional-fanbases that I'm POSITIVE will make an entrance into the DSM-IV at some point in the near future, the fact that you see your message board as some place that would be appealing to anybody other than a clinical research psychologist, or perhaps somebody in dire need of the relief that only theater of the absurd comedy can provide is positively laughable...

But in true USL/GASTATE/SWTSU@SM/University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte fashion, you've attempted to make it all about you. We're obsessed with you, right? Try disappearing for a while and watch what happens. I promise you that you'll be forgotten in under 24 hours. The only obsesed people here are you folks....

Shoot the messenger if you must, but The Niner board doesn't hold the same appeal for those of us in the real world that it does for those of you who suffer from the self-reinforcing delusions of relevance which bands you all together as Niner fans.

But, in all seriousness, it's part and parcel of "the USL complex." Next, you'll probably restrict access to only those posters who've proven that they're loyal to the cause or you'll edit content. ( Please see the message boards for USL, GaState, SW Texas State at San Marcos for more information)

What you don't realize is that though it's great that you're starting a new program, you're not exactly treading into unexpected territory or blazing the trail you you fancy yourself blazing. You're simply falling victim to your need for extrinsic validation (as all those who have low self-esteem and who aren't comfortable in their own skin, with their own identities) and you're taking proactive steps to radically revamp your entire image, as though a new name and a shiny new outfit can change what's on the inside.

Unfortunately for you, you're still exactly who you were before, and no amount of rebranding can overcome a demonstrated lack of accomplishment, but - just like USL, GaState and SWTexas State before you, you'll try to achieve that extrinsic validation through shortcuts and wordsmithery instead of actually earning it. You'll find it's a tough row to how.....

Having said that, I realize you're no longer reading for content and that - at this point - you've completely shut down and have absolutely NO ability to objectively evaluate what I'm telling you, and that's okay. You're quite literally walking in the shoes of USL, GaState and SWTSU@SM, taking the EXACT same steps they've taken. I've seen this before and I know how this story ends. ;)

There's much to be learned from those examples if you pay attention. What's the old saw about the definition of insanity? Trying the same thing over and over and expecting DIFFERENT results?

If you want to see how building a program is done, check out Old Dominion. Classy fans, provent results, no oral bull**** from anybody associated with the program.

THAT's how it's done...

Okay, so I got the University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte's baseball and basketball programs confused for a second there....and, clearly, omitting your success at Golf comes as a complete chastisement to me! Oh the horror!

We've made the tournament intermittantly, so though your Final Four success 35 years ago is nice, it's kinda...well.....OLD ;)

But, you've got a point. With your demonstrated excellence in Golf and Soccer, well...I do feel a bit foolish about trying to compare the two schools ;)

It comes as no surprise that thousands of rational individuals have responded to you like I have. It's simply the logical thing to do...

I wish you people would make up your mind. In one post, you all claim that we owe you respect and now, a few hundred posts later, you indicate that we don't. All you Niner fans look alike. Are you the same guy who says he has respect for FCS, but simultaneously - on your board - says that he can't wait to play "real" football?

And, lastly....apparently reading comprehension isn't a strong suit at The University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte...I never said you guys came looking for me. I said that you're getting the responses you're getting because you guys came here and apparently decided to hold your weekly Self-Fulfilling Delusion Support Group Meeting here.

The way I see it, you've got three possible options. Continue on as you have, and keep getting the responses you've gotten...or...

Avail yourself of one of two options....A.) Pull your head out of your ***....B.) Take off the Nine colored glasses.

I think either one of those will help you see more clearly and perhaps enable you to read the fine print you're apparently skimming over. I don't think you necessarily have to do both, though I'm sure it would help matters exponentially if you did....

I mean, it's like TOTALLY superior to anything else that anybody else has ever done. Did you know that ESPN is going to devote a cover story on just how clever Bill Curry was to come up with the way they log into their message board?

That's a very impressive bit of media exposure in a Major Major Major media market (yes I posted this in the cavernously empty Georgia Dome, so that IS in fact an echo you hear!) that the rest of FCS can only dream about!!!

No, that wasn't my point at all....there are literally thousands of boards out there and only a select few are overly restricted. Coincidentally, that phenomenon manifests itself at certain schools of a certain mindset.....it's.....interesting......from a psychological standpoint ;)

Okay, so I got the University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte's baseball and basketball programs confused for a second there....and, clearly, omitting your success at Golf comes as a complete chastisement to me! Oh the horror!

We've made the tournament intermittantly, so though your Final Four success 35 years ago is nice, it's kinda...well.....OLD ;)

But, you've got a point. With your demonstrated excellence in Golf and Soccer, well...I do feel a bit foolish about trying to compare the two schools ;)

OK, name the topic (other than football-----congrats, you're better at a sport--<right now>-----that we haven't played in over 50 years) whether athletics or academics and I have no problem comparing McNeese to Charlotte.....I have a feeling you may have trouble coming up with a selection to your liking.

[TheRevSFA]

Hey..congrats Ga State! Seriously. Your Sagarin rating from last season puts you in the lower tier of the Southland Conference!

[Tuscon]

This thread has long ago stopped being a Georgia State thread. We did really suck last year though. Injuries and inconsistency at QB damned us. And we'll suck in the Sun Belt for a time until we can get the talent level where it should be. That's ok though. I'm happy to be moving upward.

[TheRevSFA]

SFA who? Has anyone outside of TX ever heard of SFA? I think not.

Oh..Montana has, Georgia has, Louisiana and Arkansas have...I strongly doubt anyone in Texas, besides myself, has heard of your school.

but I digress...You guys have a nice campus in one of the most beautiful cities I have been to.

Portland has it's own State University now? Holy Cow, when did that happen? Seems like just yesterday that San Patricio County Junior College opened its doors.....Man, I wonder if that'll have any impact on TAMU-CC's football aspirations. Where does Portland State play their games at, Ray Akin field in Wildcat Stadium???

Don't put the cart before the horse. That doesn't say he's visiting to invite you.

It may yet happen, but it seems more and more like Georgia State is trying to dictate what will happen, and that might cause a little bit of backlash with the Sun Belt presidents.

Keep wishing. No one is dictating anything. It's pretty obvious at this point that this is going to happen. Even Yeager was talking like it's a done deal.

[Tuscon]

LOL. The Sunbelt wouldn't so much as sniff anywhere near you if you were still in the Atlantic Sun.

I don't really know what that means. We all know Georgia State does not fit in the CAA. That's ok and I'm glad we are rectifying the situation.

[whitey]

I don't really know what that means. We all know Georgia State does not fit in the CAA. That's ok and I'm glad we are rectifying the situation.

It means that the CAA has done a helluva lot more for Georgia State than you think by inviting them to the conference in 2005 in the first place and putting them which put you in position to move to Sunbelt now. If you were still in the Atlantic-Sun I don't think the Sunbelt would have come calling.

Being invited to the Sun Belt has little to do with our current conference. We haven't even played a down of CAA football yet. I won't go into the reasons Georgia State make sense, as I'm sure you're all very sick of it by now.

[FormerPokeCenter]

I'm gonna disagree. The Slumbelch is populated by a whole community of vainglorious, overreaching social climbing institutions intent on shortcutting their way to respectability. The CAA is a very prestigious conference. They'll pick up an FCS school from a prestigious conference long before they'd pick up a school from a conference that's not taken seriously.

that would make THEM look bad...well...worse, ya know? ;)

Look just to show you that I'm not a complete prick, when Georgia State comes to Louisiana to play ULM and USL, I"ll make a point to come root for the Panthers wearing Blue and White....Deal??

[Apphole]

The Slumbelch is populated by a whole community of vainglorious, overreaching social climbing institutions intent on shortcutting their way to respectability.

That is an impressive sentence. Reps to you

[FormerPokeCenter]

When you play USL, you'll HAVE to try out a classic cheer that they love....


it goes something like this:

"Go to Hell"
USL"
"Go to hell"

and, incase they fail to pick up on what you're throwing down, you add the following line....

"Eat ****!"

So it then becomes:

"Go - to - Hell
U -S - L
"Go - to -Hell"
"Eat ****!"

They love that one ;)

Given the population in your area, even considering that you're a plan B school, or the school that most kids flunk into, I'd say that you need to be running circles around us, by a wide margin, or the North Carolina legislature's been wasting its money....

There are areas where you'll excel..hopefully...and there are areas where you won't be competitive. Just for grins....what's your creative writing department like? I'm going to venture a guess that you're not really competitive with us, there, but you may be able to illustrate otherwise....I think maybe another area where you'll not be competitive with us would be in nursing, and another would be with regard to medical school acceptance rate...We're primarily a teacher's college and we've not really strayed very far from our roots...Even though we're not in the Research Triangle, we've had a few nice things happen in our Chemistry and Physics department...if you peruse the latest issues of the American Institute of Physics, I think you'll note mentions of McNeese faculty and staff, but....curiously....I haven't seen Chapel Hill @ Charlotte mentioned, which is obviously an oversight that will be corrected forthwith!

Ordinarily, I'd tell you to butch up, but I'm sure that would only elicit more whining and mewling....

You know, you COULD try the somewhat novel and unique approach of ignoring me if you don't like my commentary. While that wouldn't eliminate the commentary on Ga. State's acute case of USL syndrome, it would allow you to go about your business and pretend that it doesn't exist...

Just sayin'....might be worth a try, ya know?

Let's be real here. The ONLY way you'd agree that I was being reasonable was if I bought into your mass delusion with regard to the relevance of the school and athletic program.

I don't expect you'll be able to admit that, because - quite simply - to fulfill the sense of personal identity that you're lacking, you've GOT to be a part of something special...and - unless we don the Niner colored glasses and view Chapel Hill @ Charlotte the same way you do, your experience isn't going to be able to be deemed special.

Your first response in this thread was a sarcastic comment about a "signature" win over Campbell. Before the NC folks came over there wasn't a terrible conversation going on over here. You "responded in kind" to 49er fans and proceeded to lump all of us together in every post past that.

So you truly don't see the similarities?

Moreover, if not the mighty Campbell Camels, then what IS your signature win??

I see the similarities in our schools, yes, but this is about you trolling Georgia State threads. Nobody thinks we're going to dominate anything football related CAA or Sun Belt in at least the next 5 - 10 years, but I do expect my team to do well. That's not delusional, that's wanting what's best for my program.

And your Athletic Dept is still refusing to acknowledge something big is happening Monday. They really do seem pretty inept. The one thing that irritates me about your program going FBS is it seems like you just fell into it because your Athletics admin appear to be incompetent.

The way your going, there won't be that many people at the announcement....and honestly that's extremely sad. I'm surprised they haven't found a way to screw this up yet.

Good luck moving forward though. Can't say I'll miss all the talking ya'll have done on here and our board ;)

I unfortunately agree sir. All I can say is we have a phenominal President. Hopefully he gets the front office of the Athletic Dept in working order within the next 2 years as well.

I live in NC/went to school here. To suggest that UNCC, App ect are completely on par with UNC or any public ACC school in the state is asinine. Does it ever rain in your parallel universe? Chattown is delusional, but he seems to be an anomaly in the UTC fan base. It blows my mind that an entire fan base could be as delusional as your brood. Maybe it's the lower admission standards and the proximity to Charlotte? I don't know, but I truly believe UNCC has the highest per-capita rate of delusional fans in the entire NCAA. I'd like to thank you few UNCC AGSers for proving it on a daily basis.

Actually, FormerPokeCenter is right. You have The UNC, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then, the conglomeration of:

UNC Asheville
UNC Greensboro
UNC Pembroke
UNC Wilmington
UNC School of the Arts
UNC Charlotte

All of those schools come off as an after thought in the state of NC, and outside of the people that went there or are directly affected by them, no one will ever care about them. UNC attracts people like fly paper, that will never be the case with UNCC.

[49RFootballNow]

You're NOT on par with Chapel Hill.....No matter how much somebody cocks their head to the side, squints and holds their tongue just so, there's no stretch of the imagination whereby you could be viewed as anything other than Chapel Hill's red-headed step child.

You can hope against hope that you'll one day be on par with Chapel Hill, but - unfortunately for you Captain Picard, wishing will not "make it so"....

You should be grateful for the affiliation with Chapel Hill. Your prospective employers will see UNC on your diploma and assume you went to the good one ;)

I see your point. I guess if I had McNeese State on my diploma I too would be pissed off it wasn't worth the price of toilet paper to a prospective employer and might think it's better to have another school's name on it too.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

UNC Charlotte certainly has some national name recognitation thanks to their bball program. The schools ties to a major city like Charlotte should make it an attractive choice for NC residents. My guess, didn't look anything up, is the school has some very good graduate programs.

Temple, Pitt, Cincy, Louisville, UNC Charlotte are all very similar imo. Large, Urban, Major National Research Universities that happen to be little brothers...

LOL! xlolx OK Lake Charles Junior College. Whatever you say. xlolx

"McNeese State University was founded in 1939 as a division of Louisiana State University and was originally called Lake Charles Junior College.

The name became John McNeese Junior College in 1940 by resolution of the University Board of Supervisors in honor of this pioneer educator of Lake Charles.

The college advanced to four-year status and separated from Louisiana State University in 1950 and was renamed McNeese State College."

You're making assumptions again and thanks for being Captain Obvious. The majority of people are middle class? Whoa who knew. Why would I lump a business degree with the ones initially stated? They don't hold a candle.









It being the 2nd largest college doesn't mean it produces the majority of your graduates.

[Apphole]

I don't get it.... We've never been good at basketball (even though the last time our teams met, we won). We do have three NC's in the last decade in FB and are currently ranked in the top 30 nationally in baseball. I'll leave the golf/tennis/Woman's handball to you Cee fans though since you like to bring up obscure sports to make yourselves feel nationally relevant in sports. The country's sports fans must know: What have you done for me lately? Granted last year's soccer run was impressive. I was pulling for you guys over the holes. Great for the State of NC that both schools were in the NC.

There are 6 colleges at ASU, learn about what ASU offer before you make assumptions. The college of education is smaller than the college of business. For a guy that likes to tout the research aspect of UNCC you don't seem to apply it to your own posts.

I said your basketball team hasn't been relevant since the 70's. You said that was hypocritical. Maybe YOU don't know what it means. That would mean that App hasn't been relevant in basketball since the 70's or in a long time.

This all comes back to your fundamentally flawed argumentation strategy. It's called deflecting. Whether it's me or a McNeese fan, you won't stand up for Charlotte. Instead, you jump on the offensive and start countering with things about the other school. You are blind to logic. It is for this reason it is obvious that you're <20 years old. Try to imagine who ever you're talking to isn't loyal to any particular school. Then maybe you can make some headway and stop being a child.

You don't have to be good at something (or even have the sport) to know another program is bad. Neither has been relevant on the national basketball scene as long as I've been alive, 1977 is a long time ago. I hear Duke was good in football once upon a time.

That's not deflection at all....Deflection is when the topic at hand gets changed to another one that an individual wants to discuss in order to be able to ignore the original topic...

What he's suggesting to you isn't a deflection, it's a technique by where you remove your Niner colored glasses and enable yourself to actually participate in the matter being discussed. it's not unlike telling an individual with stage fright to level the playing field by imagining that the audience is in their underwear, thereby removing the perceived threat and giving the nervous speaker the upper hand...

You unwittingly deflected the conversation about deflection away from what's apparently an uncomfortable subject for you, speaking candidly about The University of Chapel Hill @ Charlotte, and you did that in the cleverest and perhaps most ironic of ways. You deflected a serious conversation about the reality of UNCC's relatively average academic standing by displaying your ignorance about what Deflection actually is. While it was effective, it DID provide a very effective illustrative exemplar of the point that Apphole was making:

If UNCC truly was the Queen City's Harvard, you'd have a better understanding of what Deflection truly is ;)

I don't see anyone laughing but you (and people laughing at you). Maybe you should register for an argumentation or advocacy class since you're clearly still in college. I said specifically that "UNCC has not been relevant in basketball since the 70's."

If I was a hypocrite in saying "UNCC has not been relevant in basketball since the 70's," it would mean that ASU has not been relevant in basketball since the 70's. You are looking at this at a macro level that's not consistent with the conversation. You perceive UNCC to be much greater in many ways than every single school that is supported on this website because they are all FCS (and you're delusional). Since you have this inflated perception of the trade school 20 minutes from down town Charlotte at which you attend, any criticism of UNCC from any FCS fan (again, that is automatically below you) will be viewed as hypocritical. You think this is funny because you have a flawed, pretentious view of your own school and its merit AND because you lack the knowledge and experience in argumentation to fully understand the terms that are being thrown around.

You're also wrong about the term deflecting. Here is a simplified version of what you are doing vs what you should do to become a decent rhetorician.

What you do (deflecting):
Other Person: UNCC sucks
You: No, your school sucks (thus changing the subject, or deflecting, to the other school's inadequacies)

What you SHOULD do:
Other person: UNCC sucks
You: UNCC does not suck
Reason 1
Reason 2
Reason 3


Deflecting
Verb
1. One meaning is to defuse tension or avoid answering a question by trying to steer the conversation in a different direction

Tout the A-10 all you want, you've had zero NCAA bids since the move to that conference. The one year you looked to break through in 09, you choked away a great A-10 season which led to the firing of Lutz who's now an assistant on what will be a preseason Top 10 team in NC State.

There's no special "rule" that says both our basketball programs can't be terrible. It just looks worse for Charlotte to say that because right now that's THE revenue sport. App basketball has been irrelevant in the last decade because the powers that be simply view it as an afterthought while throwing seemingly every resource they have into football.

PokeCenter, this is also a very special technique that is used quite often: turning arguments on football message boards to basketball.

From Wiki:

in the 10-year period from 1995-2005, Charlotte made the NCAA tournament 8 times and had 4 NBA players, one of whom was the 9th overall selection.

In their entire history both App St. and GSU each have 2 appearances. Charlotte made the tournament twice as much as the two teams combined in that 10-year span, alone.

Since we were talking about relevance since the 70's, this info is pretty current and is not inclusive of the '77 Final Four, the '76 NIT finals, etc. Sure- the 49ers had a rough go of it the past few years, but everyone has down periods.

For the record, SFA made their first (and I believe only) appearance in 2009. Congrats to them for getting off the list. If only my Tribe could do the same. I thought 2009 was our year, but alas, no dice.

It wouldn't be hypocritical to call them irrelevant because in football, they are. It's really not hypocritical to criticize anyone as long as you aren't denying the shortcomings of your own school.

In my opinion, Duke football being in the ACC does not make them any more relevant than the successful FCS and mid-major FBS programs. If anything, it just makes their situation even more sad because they have a ton of resources/money to change that but remain a doormat. I would rather be where App is in football than Duke. Sure, most casual fans know nothing about us other than one game against Michigan, but I'd rather people have limited knowledge of our football team than be a commonly used punchline. All that being the ACC really does is give them a much higher ceiling if they ever get their act together.

You understand why Duke is a "doormat", correct?

[asumike83]

You understand why Duke is a "doormat", correct?

Because their fans, alumni and administration are much more concerned with keeping their basketball program at the top than improving their football stature.

I understand that being as tough an academic institution as Duke is makes it hard as well, but that does not explain going nearly 20 years without a winning season. Wake Forest and Stanford face very similar obstacles in that regard and have been able to overcome them much better than Duke.

Just so I get this straight, if you get an offer to join either the Sunbelt or the Alliance, you would hope that your AD turns it down?

Honest question here too. What does the "Cee" reference mean?

If the Belt doesn't make any additions after GaySt, I'd call it an ill-advised move. If we get a CUSA invite, I'd **** myself and throw a party. CUSA would give us old and geographic rivalries as well as enough revenue to justify a move. It's not just an FBS move for the sake of being FBS.

Cee is a name to emphasize the last letter of your school's acronym.

Wait...Apphole was asking to be objective? I thought 99% of your posts were smack talk.

I honestly have no idea what you guys think I'm deflecting. I said(and quoted a couple times) that I think Charlotte has a better basketball program than App. So I found smack talk from an App fan about basketball to be comical. How is that deflecting?

So how do you not see that as being hypocritical? We want the same thing. You think being in CUSA would be better than being in FCS. Ultimately we'd also like for our program to be FBS.

Just to give the CAA the finger one more time.

[Gringer1]

The CAA is going to give G-State more than a finger. You guys might just run the table on the CAA a perfect 0fer in your first year. I say again:

1) Why would you want to give the CAA the finger? They provided your suitcase school the opportunity to move to the FBS.

2) Do you think the CAA is that concerned about GSU moving to the SunBelt?

How do you think they got that TV contract. Just us moving has given the SBC more press than it has had in years.

And they're off!....

I'm going to give you Georgia State Fans kudos for your restraint. I figured it would take about an hour before you guys started in with this line of thinking....but, you waited almost a day. I'm impressed.

I bet your new conference mates are just gonna LOVE you....

Lol

How do you think they got that TV contract.

Yes, I'm sure the dozens of fans that show up for Georgia State games and the 4 or 5 more that watch on TV was the deciding factor in whether or not the CAA got a nationally televised deal with NBC Sports.

Or maybe the folks at NBC gave the CAA a contract because they have a Founding Father fetish?

Wow! xlolx

Just like the cult in Harrisburg, NC. What an outrageous point of view trade school alumni have.

Hey I'm drinking a margarita in San Jose Costa Rica a day after my new program went FBS...life is good

[FormerPokeCenter]

Yes, but when the passengers return from their excursion and you've got to get back to folding towel animals in the morning, you'll be singing a different tune ;)
