Arkansas State stuns Georgetown

I know this is good for the conference...but I've gotta be honest...it irritates me a little in light of our football situation...

What situation please?

What situation please?

With stAte being on track to winning the Sun Belt Football crown yet again, I'm pulling for the Cajuns big time so if we win out (which we should) our guys will share the championship. I'm really growing a dislike for the Red Wolves...

Are we possibly developing a rivalry with a couple of SBC teams other than GS?

Losing will do that. Especially if it consistently a tough challenging game.
I'm sure a lot of the teams don't care for us coming into the conference new and challenging teams that have been here for years.
Personally, I cannot wait to get another shot at stAte and Troy

Jim Fox's Apps beat the Red Wolves twice last season--away and home. I'm happy for the 'Belt and for A-State BB for beating G-Town in DC.

Our football situation is a different matter. Our coaches and players just didn't come through when the Troy game was on the line last week. A-State didn't put us behind the eight-ball. It was a self-inflicted wound.

Maybe stAte's basketball team can give the football team pointers on how to beat someone who's not a Sun Belt member.

That is true asu66, but...it still annoys me though about A-State...I also don't like losing to them at The Rock last year. Also, for what it's worth, I have a good feeling that Fox's team will turn the corner this year and he'll have his program's foundation established, although our record won't reflect it because of the schedule. Next year though, they'll make some noise.

We talked about this on the way home from Troy. While losing is never fun it does help create rivalries which we definitely need. It just takes time when changing to a new league but it is happening. It was just starting with stAte, but it will be more difficult to keep that growing depending on how often we play. Having Troy and Southern as rivals in our division is big for us.

With you on both counts!
