I'm not a Southern fan, by any stretch of the imagination. You guys know that, right?

However, on August 30th, there won't be ANYBODY screaming for a Southern win more loudly than me.

I ****ing hate USL. I hope y'all beat the dog snot out of them. And I hope you kick 'em while they're laying on the ground crying...

How much money are you making from this beatdown?

If it becomes a beatdown I'll let you know.

If memory serves me right last, time it was a pretty big percentage of the gate along with concession

[McNeeserocket]

Their correct name is the University of Louisiana.

Actually you are incorrect. Their real and legal name is University of Louisiana at Lafayette. There is another University of Louisiana and it is called University of Louisiana at Monroe.

ULL has dreams of being a big name school and they think if they call themselves University of Louisiana or just Louisiana it will make them sound better than they are!

[centennial]

You think you are going to compete with a FBS team with a record of 9-4 last year and bowl win? Your team was rated 223 in sagarin and ULL 81 . You were a 30 point underdog last year, no way this game is even close. This is a nice way to get some attention on ESPN 3. I will give you that.
SU doesn't get a guarantee amount? That's ****ty.

[McNeese72]

Nope. Not correct.

And just about everybody and their twin sisters have games online at ESPN3 these days.

[MplsBison]

Of course it's correct.

1) We didn't play them last year (so that's another lie)

2)They are a lower level FBS

3) 2009 SU 19 ULL 42

4) I didn't say we didn't get a guarantee, I stated what I best remembered the agreement to be last time we played.

Yeah and the SunBelt conf attendance record also, I just had that confirmed that It was 10,000 tickets and it came out to be around $240k.

This time the Guarantee price is up between $150k- $175k plus tickets, which will probably be more since they're expanding their stadium to about 41k

[FormerPokeCenter]

The new USL coach is pretty good. He's at least smart enough to know that he can get to 8-3 in the regular season if he doesn't venture too far outside the Slum Belch...

[Atouk]

Of course it's correct.

"University of Louisiana at Lafayette® has been the formal and official name of the University since 1999. Please use it in first reference to the University in text. UL Lafayette may be used as an abbreviation to refer to the University when clarification is necessary."

The Sun Belt's conference attendance record happened when UL-LF hosted an FCS team.

So what I'm reading is the Sun Belt needs FCS games to put fannies in seats. xlolx

I mean it is the perfect type of OOC game for ULL to start the season. You are getting a school with probably the 2nd or 3rd largest fanbase in the state in a game that is just 1 hour away from Baton Rouge. Both schools know how to tailgate and party, it was a great event. I think the game this year will shatter that record too. ULL now has a winning program and SU is coming off a winning season as well. You boost the game up calling it the clash of the New Orleans Bowl and SWAC champions.

Southern will have more fans in SW La. than you guys realize for that game.

No it's not.

they are UL@Lafayette by law.

As I understand it any school in the ULS can change their name to University of Louisiana as long as they add the city to the name

I see the low major conferences promoting the crap out of being on ESPN3, but it does not seem to really make it a "televised contest". Didn't I see the Big South is requiring schools to up the ante to an ESPN quality broadcast so their games can be picked up by ESPN3?

No slam on Southern, Louisiana-Lafayette or the Sun Belt (who put out a big release with all those "televised" games), but ESPN3... that's not television or at least does not seem to be to me.

It's grey.

The quality of the video and audio is all captured at the same level as a game on ESPN2 or ESPNU. They have an analyst and a color guy along with a technical team in a truck, and the same on screen graphics as a game on ESPN2 or ESPNU.

Simply, they decided not to broadcast that feed on ESPN2 or ESPNU.

That means there's only two ways you can consume that feed at home (or at a bar): stream it from the internet (ESPN3) or for some games you can purchase it as a Pay-Per-View (ESPN GameDay) and then you can view it the same as ESPN2 or ESPNU, which is much higher quality than streaming it from the internet. Either way it's the same feed.

"It took until 1995 for the Louisiana State Legislature to agree to allow the change. But, passage of Act 45 required a compromise that has become known as the “LSU Rule.” The LSU Rule required that at least two state universities change their name at the same time. It required that all universities who change their name change it to “University of Louisiana at [city designation].” It stipulated that the city designation must be used in all official university business and has since grown far beyond its original legislative language, to regulate minute details such as font sizes to be used by the respective universities."

UL Lafayette (“LOUISIANA”), similar to UC Berkeley (“CALIFORNIA”), UT Knoxville (“TENNESSEE”), UA Fayetteville (“ARKANSAS”), UNC Chapel Hill ("NORTH CAROLINA"), and UT Austin (“TEXAS”), among others, is the largest and oldest of the schools that share the same name. Fortunately, the legislative law regarding the name change only applies to university and state employees. This state policy does not govern UL alumni, supporters, other universities, and certainly not the autonomy of the press. This leaves the door open for UL Lafayette to be commonly and popularly known as LOUISIANA, while maintaining the official name.

USL is the most vainglorious, pretentious, overreaching, social climbing, collection of wannabees this side of Georgia State.

The mental gymnastics necessary to believe that USL is who they think they are would make a Conrad Escher print look linear.

As an example, the USL brain trust <giggle> put together something they called the pentathlam, or pentaphlegm, or some similarly stupid name which purported to rank schools based on their fans chances of seeing a win.

So, they weighted this thing so that USL's softball team wins counted equally with LSU's football wins. 1500 people in the stands at a girls's softball game is the equivalent of 93,000 fans in Tiger Stadium right?

Anyway, USL either finished first or second in this stupid thing for the first five or six years they published it.
I mean, come on...Seriously? You have to create a selectively weighted metric to display relevance?

Anyway, that's just ONE such example of the total Douchedom of USL fans....

[813Jag]

Since this is a ULL press release, I suspect they are called LOUISIANA "commonly and popularly" only by themselves, in the same way that Syracuse is known as "New York's College Team" only by the Syracuse public relations department.

BTW is it usually UL-Laf, pronounced "you'll laugh", or U La.- La, pronounce "ooh lah lah" ?

I call them You laugh

You missed the point. The people and alumni of the other Universities in University of Louisiana System care when ULL tries to claim they are the flagship of the system when they are not. As far as the rest of the nation, they probably don't care. It is a family fight.

[bluedog]

I will admit when we played them in 2009, their entire conversation at the tail gate centered around everything that was comparable to LSU.

So I'm reading here that UL-LF is basically the North Dakota of the Sun Belt.

[FormerPokeCenter]

We who live in Louisiana pay taxes. We see where that money goes and how much of a disproportionate share USL gets from the state, relative to the **** they put on the field.

Case in point. USL's played at LSU twenty two times and has NEVER scored a freakin touchdown. During their most recent venture to Tiger Stadium, they managed a fieldgoal in garbage time...So, out of a Six Million dollar state subsidy, they managed three, count 'em, THREE points. That's TWO million a point.

By contrast, McNeese with a Three million state subsidy goes into Tiger Stadium, scores a touchdown in the first quarter, manages 10 points.

300 K per point.

Yet USL wants to be the flagship, academically and athletically, of the ULS system? Deja Moo! I've heard that same old bull**** before..

USL is the same school that one of the 911 Masterminds got his diploma from. And the kicker? He was an honors student who's name was engraved on a paving stone in some sorta USL Walk of Honor, or some **** like that.

They left that memorial up for a few years before finally succumbing to the common sense of the rest of the state and removed it...

Academically, USL ranks lower than many of the schools in the ULS system.

We know exactly who they are, and it's NOT, by a long shot THE University of Louisiana. Hell, their President graduated from the same HS that me, Doc, Geauxpokes and several others here graduated from.

Listen, don't drink the Vermillion Kool-Aid. We know who those sumbitches are. And, more importantly...who they're NOT! ;)

[Atouk]

I have heard ULL called The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns during their bowl games and baseball and softball appearances on TV.That is the full nickname of their sports teams. If you were saying the name of the university and the full nickname together, that would make them the UL Lafayette Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. :)

As a transplant to Big Easy territory, I call ULL - You Laugh (813Jag cred here). Southeast Louisiana - See La. I also appreciate the comparison of ULL to North Dakota. As a solid rival (NCC days for SDSU/UND) and ULL/McNeese that don't compete in the same conference anymore.

Does McNeese & ULL play most of the minor sports (baseball, softball, track, golf, etc)? Because of the convenience and level of talent, I know SDSU/UND still schedule many sports most years.

You're not too bright, are you? There is no flagship of the ULS system. Louisiana Tech could arguably make a claim, though, based on Academics and Athletics...

But, they're okay with being who they are...I mean, they could EASILY have adopted The University of Louisiana @ Ruston.

[Za-KEE-uS]

Technically every university in the UL system is legally "@ whatever city its in" Nicholls State University @ Thibodaux, McNeese State University @ Lake Charles, Louisiana Tech @ Ruston etc... Right now UL-L is the largest so as far as I'm concerned they can be UL.

[JROCK]

Some McNeese posters are sure sensitive about the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns name. What's really going on? Is this because they won't consistently play you all in football? Is it because they have outgrown you all campus & student population wise? Is it because of their rising national exposure? It just seems it is more going on here. I don't buy the tax angle. I'm sure since Lafayette is larger than Lake Charles they pay more taxes on an aggregate basis. Also since the University of Louisiana's student populations is larger than McNeese, I'm sure the University System of Louisiana factors that in when divvying funds.

[FormerPokeCenter]

JROCK, it's a ULS thing. You wouldn't understand ;)

The Kernel poster amuses me. I'm sure he's aware that ULL's been calling on the state to close Nicholls so that money being washed down the bayou can be spent in Lafayette, right?

JROCK, it's a ULS thing. You wouldn't understand ;)

Every system has a flagship or multiple flagships, schools that are quite obviously grander and more important than the rest in the system.

Based on funding level that you mentioned in a different post, it's obvious that McNeese is at least lower in priority than the University of Louisiana in the ULS pecking order.

The NO bowl gets more press, has higher ratings amd payout, and doubles the FCS National Championship attendence (it will likely triple it or more once NDSU doesn't make the final).

IMHO, there is a big difference. Louisiana has a student population that is twice as large, their football stadium is double the size, a different division and the Cajuns took McNeese off their schedule and have deemed the Cowboys beneath them. I don't think the Cajuns think about or even have McNeese on the radar in terms of football. I'm not keen on either schools, but if I was forced make a choice of watching one of these teams for a full football season, it would be an easy decision. I would watch Louisiana Cajuns..........The idea of someone from the Southland Conference making a mockery of the Sun Belt is a joke.

We don't care if USL plays us, actually. But, if they're gonna talk ****, despite getting their asses handed to him an overwhelming majority of the time, we expect them to sack up and play the game. The Sunbelt won't travel to an FCS school. It's against their rules.

Why do you think they bring you guys to Lafayette, to take your fan-bases money and give you a beat down. You see, USL only schedules people they think they've got a shot against.

First off, Happy Father's Day. xlolx Yes, Aenias Williams will be inducted in a few months & the great Mel Blount drafted in 1970. Was McNeese not integrated in 1970? xlolx Who exactly is that person in the NFL Hall of Fame from McNeese before and after "integration?" Louisiana has been asking us for years to play them again. We had other options and couldn't get to them before now. Of course they will not travel to McNeese. You have to understand the relationship has changed. Louisiana doesn't see McNeese as someone that they care to be associated with on a regular basis. Until you all are able to man up and do what Georgia Southern and Troy State did and move to the FBS, chances are they will continue to treat McNeese like an ex wife.

Now, if I'd tried to pro-actively pass Sestak off as a NFL Hall of Famer, instead of merely answering your question, you might have a point. Beyond that, you, a Southern Grad, understand the difference between misspeaking and lying. You guys practically wrote the book on lies...;)

You've got a very keen grasp of the blatantly obvious....

USL refuses to play Division II schools for the same reason they refuse to play capable FCS squads. They're afraid to lose, like they did the last time they tangled with a Division II...

Can you imagine a reputable FBS losing to a Division II school? Me either...

That's why it's not surprising that USL's fallen to a Div II. Hell, if you look deep enough, you'll see they actually lost to Patterson High School in Morgan City back in the day ;)

The only people who watched the New Orleans bowl last year were USL's broke dick fan base who couldn't afford to go to New Orleans, and the far-flung Tulane Alumni who had real jobs and scheduling conflicts ;)

I would be surprised if any bowl game outside of the BCS bowls last season had TV viewership more than 15% non-alumni/fans of the two programs playing.

FCS Championship Game would be more like 5% non-alumni/fans max.

Not true. P88 retired from 10yr membership on that site and desired to get away from the lot of the lower %'d "grads" on that site. The site became quite dumbed down when lower %'d "grads" lol, like you :D, entered and began to post. And, I totally forgot I was speaking w/ a "grad" of SU-the original grade-changing Scandal "university." FTR, has any O-N-E of southern's sports programs yet been declared "elgible & compliant" by the ncaa? xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx The ncaa banned 100% of southern's sports programs and you dumb****s have the audacity to attempt to enter a site such as this one and post like you are a knowledgeable sports fan? Panther88 is tearing you dummies a new a$$hole and you dummies have forgotten how to wipe the 2.0 version lol.

What are you having today lie practice? You know darn well you got kicked out of PV forum and then kicked off the TSPN. Lastly your third strike was getting kicked out of a football game by the police. Your own Alums have disowned you. Then you give their Athletic department $15.00 and think you have some type of clout? Stop trying to act like you don't have issues and take your medicine at times the doctor prescribed. xlolx xlolx

[JROCK]

Look it up if you don't believe me. Tom Sestak, DT for Buffalo, is in the AFL Hall of Fame on the All-time AFL team and has been on a number of "All-Time Best" lists....

Now, if I'd tried to pro-actively pass Sestak off as a NFL Hall of Famer, instead of merely answering your question, you might have a point. Beyond that, you, a Southern Grad, understand the difference between misspeaking and lying. You guys practically wrote the book on lies...;)

I see now you're trying to have an "AFL" discussion to try and mitigate that lie. That is why it's best to be upfront and honest when someome ask a direct question. You should have just been up front and stated the truth. The truth is McNeese has no NFL HOF(s). There is no shame in that. xlolx xlolx

Little shim, plz. I stated a yr prior that I wanted out because those elder alums weren't too mentally bright. And was frustrated watching grambling high school being demolished by a much more superior TCU squad. I should have had the common sense not to use the TCU will call instead of the traveshomockery I witnessed called "SWAC football." xlolx Truthism. Deal w/ it. And you are not a pvamf officiando so I cannot address your stupid rhetoric regarding PVAMU business. Now, tell the world about today, su's 100% dedication to having every single one of su's athletic programs "non-compliant" for ncaa post-season participation xlolx. The best thing the ncaa could do is give su the required death penalty it is begging for. Got APR? lol

I knew there was a reason my conscious wouldn't let me delete this



speak for your boi (I sent it to j83 but I'm not sure if he's used the SPM feature here and could see he has a message). If you want to generate some damned good convo on tspn SMACK lol, post what I'm about to say and this is on the bible (100% truth) and for the TSPN record.

The reason I was kicked off TSPN permanently was due to something I may have intimated but I didn't say, if that makes any sense (the thread is still there for viewing if the guilty parties didn't have it removed). On the sports board, sujagtilhedead and I were going @ it and ol' boy got riled up and HE was the one who made a PERSONAL attack/threat to me by saying that he wanted to go upside my head w/ his hands or boxing gloves something or another. I responded by asking him "you ain't mad is you son?" lol, laughing @ him lol, and then I SAID (in black/write print) - *quote* "the ONLY fighting I do is on the BASKETBALL COURT or athletically (lifting weights/running) and I will 'PUT IT DOWN ON YOU OR ANYONE ELSE' regardless of how old or young you are. I've been kicking azz a looooooooooong time" (referenced the COURT of play or weightlifting/athletics). I'm not sure if overly-rash-to-judgment Kenn or estrogenally tspn administrative power-hungered and JSU-prejudiced 'fiyah' kicked me off permanently @ that point or not, and sincerely don't care if either or both made the ultimate decision w/ inputs from certain "prejudiced" and overly-emotional non-objective moderators lol or not, and again, I don't care one way or the other. But, I did want to clear the username "Panther88" from the negative soiree'.

If anyone is to blame for my then pending departure (which I was going to do anyway but under my own terms until that occurred), blame SUJAGTILHEDEAD lol, FIYAH, KENN (owner - but it's his baby-true-true-blahhhhhhh), and certain estrogenal and non-objective moderators (those I refer to as "total dumb****s ).

And the rest is....silence.







Kenn kicked your boy to the curb because I constantly chastised him for not moving the board FORWARD and showing a business acumen that wasn't prudent and proved to be detrimental to the ORIGINAL board (when the bandsmen/bandwomen made up > 60+% of the traffic). He handled them wrong by kicking all of them off that very first time. He had the whole damned thing LOCKED and then went to tripping. That was also the time that he kicked Machavelli off (that's his actual boy that helped co-found the site). Fiyah (raymond) and I mix like oil and water lol. He's mad because I tell the complete and utter truth about his beloved PV. I have no reason to lie. The school is in piss poor shape administratively. He has renewed interest because his son plays on the football team now. *smh*

I see you didn't address my comment. You all are 2-13 against the BIG 10 and have been running from them for over 1/2 of a century. I am not impressed with NDST. You guys have about 15K student and have been running from competing in the FBS. I think NDST is a cowardly program with visionless athletic administrators. As a result of the aforementioned, NDST is comfortable with being on top of a remedial division and not competing consistently against FBS teams that are on their level. A coward dies 1000 lives..........Either you can't read or was too coward to take the BIG 10 issue head on.

For someone claiming to be so bright, you sure have a tendency to said a lot of dumb stuff.

Prairie View A&M University was recently informed by the NCAA's Committee on Academic Performance that its football program has been placed on postseason ban for the 2014 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs for the upcoming season due to low Academic Performance Rate (APR) average over the past four years. The university's APR score of 908 fell two points short of the 910 filter the NCAA has put in place. However, the team is still eligible for the 2014 Southwestern Athletic Conference Football Championship and the annual league championship game as the SWAC opts out the playoffs.
Prairie View A&M student-athletes are graduating 17 percentage points higher than the overall student body. The current student body federal graduation rate is 33 percent while the student-athletes have a rate of 50 percent. "We have higher academic standards than the NCAA minimums and are penalized when reporting to the NCAA," said Prairie View A&M Director of Athletics Ashley Robinson (http://www.pvpanthers.com/staff.aspx?staff=114). "However, we do acknowledge that football eligibility is an issue and we are providing support and an approved APR Plan to improve their academic performance rate."

Oh boo ****ing hoo about NDSU being part of, I guess, a "remedial division of football". NDSU, at 15k enrollment, could match Northwestern (not their endowment), but they are not on the same planet as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Penn St. Etc... What does that make the SWAC anyway? You are correct. NDSU got beat by Big Ten schools in the leather helmet days...back when Minnesota was padding national championships.

So you agree NDSU is a bunch of Cowards running away from FBS competition. BTW, no one would expect your program to play in the BIG because quite frankly you all are not even close to being on that level and would be a perpetual cellar dweller.

Nope. Don't agree at all. The NDSU football scheduling formula is pretty straight forward. Conference schedule...plus 1 regional FBS game (2015 with Iowa State and 2016 with Iowa)...plus two "one and done" push over home games (teams like...you guys). If a FBS invite comes, I'm sure it would be entertained, but I imagine NDSU's geographic location and available conferences will hinder that from happening.

Um... for one Ebony Einstein there aren't any APR sanctions, there are bans until the NCCA finish it's investigation and make a decison on our progress.

2) Football is the only relevant program that PV really has, and your fan base doesn't really support it, so any bump in the road flushes it even further down the toilet.

3) Even IF they were to ban all our sports, (which is highly unlikely) it still doesn't effect our football program because we don't participate in post season play, or did you not know that?

Is that the line of propaganda that the bison nation or their administrators are spewing? What a crock of bull. NDSU is just shiftless, lazy and have no intentions of competing with teams on their level. Once again, a coward dies a thousand lives.

Kind of an ironic statement coming from a fan of a SWAC football team...you guys should do us all a favor and go to DII. Maybe the issue in your head has more to do with the garbage at the bottom of the FCS versus the better programs when you are making g this comparison?

How in the world does a Cowardly Jago-matic fan from Southern, who's known FAR and WIDE as a dishonorable grade fixing, non-contract honoring buncha mouthy women who will hide behind a catastrophe to keep from getting an ass whipping have the audacity to call another school, who plays up regularly, cowardly?

There are no words for that sorta hypocrisy....

Seriously, now do you even fix your mouth to tell that lie????

[FormerPokeCenter]

Answer me this: Is Southern gonna make eye contact when they take the check in Lafayette, or is USL just gonna leave it on the nightstand so you can grab it on your way outta town?

But, what i REALLY wanna know is whether or not there's any truth to the rumor that USL wrote it into your contract that THEY get to pick the music for your halftime show this year?

I mean, let's be real. Halftime's about the ONLY chance you'll have of entertaining anybody in Lafayette this year....

So are you saying that the hurricane didn't happen when we were going to return the game?

[FormerPokeCenter]

Dude, clearly the hurricane happpened. But you sent your soccer team to Lake Charles the day after the cancelled football game...

And then you tried to hide behind a Force Majeur defense to avoid rescheduling the game. FINALLY, after you exhausted every conceivable excuse and option, you paid the buy out clause...

But, let's be honest. If that were an isolated incident, it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but we both know the history of that series...The "unsigned" contact that y'all wouldn't...er....couldn't send back. Now why do you suppose somebody would refuse to send back an allegedly unsigned contract after announcing that a game would be made?

Could it be that it was because the contract actually WAS signed, and Southern decided to back out after realizing what an ass kicking they were gonna get? I mean, if it was truly unsigned, just send the damn thing back! ;)

It's okay...your behaviour was expected. Once McNeese grad John Belton rotated off his stint as the Southern Board of Regents Athletic Commitee Chairman, there was nobody in a position to show you guys how to behave honorably and with dignity...

You went back to being "Southern" ;)

Get McNeese to give us some pointers. When Missouri gave McNeese that 50-6 pounding did they gag or was it an ankle grabbing bonanza? xlolx When S. Florida put 53 on you all did they have whips, chains and blindfolds? xlolx Was McNeese hands tied behind their backs? xlolx

[FormerPokeCenter]

LOL, You don't need any pointers. You guys know how to roll over and play dead....I watched you do in 2004 when we took the WORST McNeese team in 30 years into Mumford and beat you by three scores......

I feel like we got gypped, though. Your damn band didn't even play at halftime because of the weather...

I'll give you this. Your football program sucks, but your band is top notch!

[FormerPokeCenter]

Have y'all ever thought about recruiting some of the band kids to play football for the Jags? Those drum majors are the best Southern Athletes on the field. And some of your Tuba Players and Bass Drum guys could EASILY line up on the offensive line...

And, let's face it. They're the only performers in Southern uniforms who are used to performing at a high level...

We didn't hide behind anything, our conference mandated that we play in the ESPN MEAC/SWAC challenge, so they paid you all the little measly $10k and kept it moving.

Its part of the TV deal that ESPN made with the SWAC.

You know, the largest TV deal ever given to any FCS conference.

I won't give you all anything. Your football team is atrocious and if you all had a band it wouldn't be any better than a disgrace. That is the reason Louisiana Ragin Cajuns don't care to associate with you Cowboys. To them, you all are that old disgusting "trick" that they are sorry they were ever in bed with.

Let's recap. When neither your team, Southern, nor the team who you've contracted to take an ass whipping from (USL) can beat McNeese, you're not in a position to talk smack about McNeese being "atrocious"....

I mean, you CAN, I suppose, but both you and your Superior have both taken beat down ass whippings from a team, most men realize that trying to talk **** like that only makes you sound like a mouthy chicken head 'Ho...

On second thought, go with your strengths and keep on doing what you're doing....

That whole Chicken Headed 'Ho thing is working for you.

Speaking of "broke" surely McNeese doesn't gallivant around America pandering for money games............No Sir, that is beneath them. xlolx xlolx

For such shrewd bidness men, going to USL for a "payday" seems like pandering to me, considering Southern's always screamed that their classic games made them tons of money...

So I guess going to Lafayette to take an ass whipping is either a public service or an attempt by Southern to establish a recruiting foothold in Lafayette??? <giggle!>

I see telling a lie is second nature to you. After the hurricane the following year we didn't play because of McNeese scheduling conflicts and in 2010 is when the MEAC/SWAC invitation came.

USL (who we OWN) sucks, New Mexico's won 14 games in SIX years....The U of H team who spanked you all 66-13 beat South Florida, 35-23. For comparison's sake, We beat that same South Florida team 53-21....

So, yeah, if you're not more scared of McNeese than you are of those schools, you're just plain stupid...

And let's be real...

You can explain a beat down to an FBS team. You can't really explain it to another FCS school, which is why you avoid them and why you'll willingly go be USL's bitch for no money, despite perpetuating the rumor that you get PAID for your "money" games....

You're Southern. You'll engage in all sorts of mental gymnastics rather than admit that there's an ocean of competence between your program and the FCS. We both know your leaky pirogue won't make it across the bayou, much less an ocean......

Okay, so McNeese plays a 3-9 USL squad and crushes them. You play a 3-9 squad and get crushed and you don't see the gap between where you're at and where we're at?

No....because chatty at least, hypothetically, has a shot at the post season, and previously hosting the natty is still closer than a SWAC school will ever be to one.

Here's the gap of opinion on NDSU for them. They think NDSU is a "garbage" FBS school that plays FCS football....where I think the Sunbelt (and MAC frankly) are FCS schools playing "garbage" FBS football. Somehow 15k enrollment is some sort of watermark for FBS football...even though schools like Delaware are closer to 19-20k (don't worry Hen fans...not directing anything towards you).

First you go around bragging that you beat UL-Lafayette as if it was some big accomplishment, than you lie and say SU didn't want to play McNeese because they were afraid, and that we paid McNeese $50k.

After I showed the stupidity in that type of thinking, you than lie and say that New Mexico had only won 14 games in six years..

Good God, the situation at Southern is worse than we thought! So if team went 4-9, 3-9, 1-11, 1-11, 1-11 and 4-9 in successive seasons, how many games did they win, Steve Hawking????

Since you're a Southern man, let's make it easier. What do you get when you add 3 plus 4 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 4??

Hint: 14...and how many seasons are reflected in those records?
Hint: 6...

Any questions?

Wait, nevermind...Just jurry up and get my order right and don't forget the fries!

Like I said: Stupid.

After I stated that SU played New Mexico, you said that they had won only 14 games in 6 years (referring to their track record )

We played New Mexico in 2012, their record previous to that game was...( follow me closely)

6-7 2006, 9-4 2007, 4-8 2008, 1-11 2009, 1-11 2010, 1-11 2011.

In the last 6 years, which is inclusive of the time you played them....how may games has New Mexico won?

They're turrible....just like Southern...Actually, Southern is worse than turrible, which is why New Mexico paid your ass to come get blown out...

And - more to the point - which is why USL's paying you to come punk out for them....

Again, my only question is whether or not Southern's gonna make eye contact when they reach for the rent-a-bitch check????

All this discussion for a dumb spot on ESPN 3. And JROCK, NDSU was ranked 17th on Sagarin and had 9 AP votes last year. Our conference plays at the same level of football as Sun Belt, MAC with less scholarships. As for us hiding, some conference has to be willing to take us plus we need a lot more money. Your conference plays at best- average D2 level. When you are relevant in the college football world come talk trash to us. For now, your opinion is the same as your team- insignificant.

MAC football on average is absolutely a step up in play from MVFC.

Would NDSU beat most MAC teams the last three years? True. But NDSU is a standout from the conference. As is Northern Illinois from the MAC, which would've beaten NDSU probably 7-3 in a ten game playoff.

[MplsBison]

LOL, that includes all the people in Buffalo Wildwings and Hooters, where that **** was on the tube because it was the only game on TV at the time. NOT because there was any huge interest in the New Orleans BOWEL...

To the best of my knowledge, you're factually wrong here. As I understand, TV ratings are based only on records of what "Television households" were viewing at that particular timeslot.

Therefore, televisions in public places do not count for ratings. And that makes sense, for precisely the reasoning you were using. In other words, just because a television is tuned to a particular program does not mean anyone is viewing it.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

MAC football on average is absolutely a step up in play from MVFC.

*please note that I will simply repeat my valid assertion to any non sequitur response

So let's investigate:


KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Josh Dewey (http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/511110/josh-dewey) intercepted a pass at the goal line in the final minute to preserve a 27-23 victory for Nicholls State over Western Michigan on Saturday.

Nicholls has had a losing record in FCS play in seven of the last eight years. They went 4-8 last year, tied for last place in the Southland, and went 2-8 in games against Division I opponents.. one of which was Western Michigan out of the MAC.

Four MAC teams couldn't crack the 3-win plateau, including Western Michigan (UMass, Miami (OH) and Eastern Michigan were the others).

UMass' only win came against winless Miami (OH).

Eastern Michigan's two wins came against Western Michigan, and Howard out of the MEAC (and Eastern Michigan struggled during most of that game against 6-6 Howard).

Western Michigan's only win came against UMass.

You can make an excellent case that any number of 4-8 MVFC teams, including South Dakota, Missouri State and Western Illinois, would have smoked all four of these teams. All three were miles ahead of Nicholls in terms of quality, and UNI, who finished alongside of them, would have smoked all four without even a discussion on the matter.

Your post is analogous to me "analyzing" the MVFC by recapping Indiana State's season.

And yet the MAC had four Indiana States in their midst, MAC teams whose only wins came against each other or a 6-6 team from the MEAC and include an out-of-conference loss to the Indiana State of the Southland, Nicholls.

Nicholls has had a losing record in FCS play in seven of the last eight years. They went 4-8 last year, tied for last place in the Southland, and went 2-8 in games against Division I opponents.. one of which was Western Michigan out of the MAC.

Four MAC teams couldn't crack the 3-win plateau, including Western Michigan (UMass, Miami (OH) and Eastern Michigan were the others).

UMass' only win came against winless Miami (OH).

Eastern Michigan's two wins came against Western Michigan, and Howard out of the MEAC (and Eastern Michigan struggled during most of that game against 6-6 Howard).

Western Michigan's only win came against UMass.

You can make an excellent case that any number of 4-8 MVFC teams, including South Dakota, Missouri State and Western Illinois, would have smoked all four of these teams. All three were miles ahead of Nicholls in terms of quality, and UNI, who finished alongside of them, would have smoked all four without even a discussion on the matter.
Let's see here.
2013 MVFC was rated above-
MAC- West
CUSA East
MAC- East
2012-
MW
2011-
Not rated above but similar to Sun Belt
Point being the best/top FCS and the worst FBS conferences are usually similar in the level of play. Before the MVFC, CAA has also done the same. I don't see how we are worst that the MAC or Sun Belt outside of the one dungeon dweller (Indiana State) which kills our conference ratings. At the end of the season MAC or Sun Belt are better than MVFC or CAA based on depth, that is all I am willing to concede.

Nothing wrong with conceding that. On average, it's true.

And the MVFC had Indiana St.

Just like every conference has a low end.


Look I get that you're being obtuse and that you very obviously know what "average" means.

So let's take two teams that finished 4-4 in the MAC and MVFC and compare.

Ohio (7-6 - played in St. Petersburg Bowl)

Beat Eastern Michigan, Miami (OH), UMass - = 3 wins over Indiana State
Beat Austin Peay = worse than win over Indiana State
Beat Marshall, North Texas - successful C-USA teams with loads of wins against cupcake OOC teams like Idaho and Miami (OH)
Beat Akron - the biggest quality win on their schedule, a 7-5 MAC team

Illinois State (5-6, 4-4 in MVFC)
Beat Northern Iowa, a 7-5 MVFC team
Beat Abeline Christian, a strong D-II heading to D-I
Beat Indiana State
Beat South Dakota, Western Illinois

At absolute worst they are even in terms of quality. Marshall and North Texas were two of the biggest consumers of cupcakes at the FBS level.

I don't understand why people keep giving us **** for not moving up-
We've only been a short while in the FCS
We play in one of the best FCS conferences
No one wants NDSU in their FBS conference
NDSU is not a good fit geographically in any current FBS conference
We do not have the money to move up
The Fargodome is barely adequate for FBS
The Fargo market isn't big enough for conferences to actively pursue us
The college football landscape might change significantly and it makes sense in just staying put for now

I get that you're trying to salvage something by recapping individual teams and pretending that is relevant to what I was saying, even though it's a red herring.

He isn't wrong. Like my previous post said, we are rated right along them. Why don't you present some proof to the contrary? I would say MVFC, CAA, (3rd best FCS) are close peers to Sun Belt and MAC. I know the public doesn't perceive it like that and things change year to year, but the level of football is comparable.

Maybe NDSU should play in a classic against Prairie View?

That would beat punking out and taking a tiny check to be USL's bitch ;)

[Panther88]

Prairie View is not remotely ready for NDSU. NDSU could have scored 100+ points if their coaching staff didn't show compassion starting mid-2nd quarter :( (last game @ the Fargo Dome).

And as early as this fall, Prairie View is not ready for I think division-I FCS pre-season ranked #7 McNeese State either. But one thing's for sure, PVAMU WILL come to play and it will be a great litmus test to let all Panther faithful know how far we have to go in order to become respectable and truly competitive. One cannot just "field a team, just because" against an opponent w/ the drive of McNeese St.

Looking forward to the fellowship and watching a few connects (McNSt) play this fall. Really proud of those guys. They represent McNSt very well.

They can come back to Fargo again for a guarantee game if they bring a band with.

Why don't you go play in the middle of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge with 50 18 wheelers?
