In the College Football News 2013 Sun Belt Preview,at the very end, the writer concludes that the Sun Belt hasn't bought Georgia Southern or Appalachian State- they just rented them. I know we have more pressing issues right now, including the upcoming season, but I can't help but wonder exactly what the writer was thinking.

Re: Interesting...
stupid statement, unless he has insider information into both App and GS administrations, he doesn't have a clue what the future holds for both programs, maybe we leave in 3 years, maybe we stay for 20.

I don't think the writer was breaking news or suggesting he was privileged to any information. I just took it as a compliment that the two new kids on the block were legitimate, competitive programs on the rise,
and not just thrilled that ANY FBS conference would take them.

I live in Franklin, NC now and graduated from Arkansas State. I welcome you guys to the SunBelt and look forward to wearing my RedWolf gear to Boone and talking some light smack or maybe heavy smack.

I think he's just stating the obvious, that given a spot in a conference closer to home we'd take it, and that with our strong football programs (and school sze, etc) we would be a fit in many conferences.moehler wrote:stupid statement, unless he has insider information into both App and GS administrations, he doesn't have a clue what the future holds for both programs, maybe we leave in 3 years, maybe we stay for 20.
Naturally the SB could be a great fit and we'll stay forever, but I don't really think it's expected.

Re: Interesting...
Well to be fair, the quote was put under a section called "Bold Statements". Basically that means the author pulls a statement out of his backside without any evidence towards it.
In the end though, I think most of us think he's right. I doubt the Sun Belt will be our final destination, especially with all the talk of the Power 5 and Division 4.
