If it’s about the fan experience we should add teams that are destinations not Ruston. What is it about the SB that is unappealing to the likes of Memphis, UAB, Tulane, etc?....Obviously the $$ is better with P4 conferences but the likelihood they get an offer to join is slim...Why stay with CUSA/A...

The Pik N Pig in Carthage is pretty good.

That’s an old reference, my friend. Pick N Pig has been there forever.

I know. I just tried it early this year.

Ruston isn’t the best. But truthfully, is it worse than Monroe?

Well, I’ve had one of the best Po’ Boys in my life in Ruston so there’s that.

I agree, I think western members viewed this as somewhat existential if they didn't fill the spot quickly. The longer the spot remained open the more likely it would be filled with a member that could be part of the eastern block splitting away longer term or lead to backroom meetings of that natur...

Oh I think we all know there are fans who have that attitude but this move does not financially help the SBC unless we can swap out ULM when adding La Tech. Moves are usually not made for that go to war attitude but due to money and that is why many of us are perplexed by this. I know Marshall, JMU...

For what it’s worth, the absolute primeval reaction on Twitter/CFB Reddit, etc, to this move, is actually why it’s a fun add. I get that they don’t excite us but half the conference is ready to go to war. Which is really what college football is all about. Oh I think we all know there are fans who ...

What is the benefit of staying at 13? The revenue share bump is about $150k per year. Given the unbalanced scheduling issues, staying at 13 may cost more than the gain with travel.

App State -8.5 vs Charlotte Just saying. They need to change it to -28!! We got a great QB1 and QB2 and our WRs overall will be the best in the Sunbelt. Oh...we got great RBs too. The "D"???? who knows. If the defense can play well, we beat them like a drum. Just my opinion and how I feel. I'll tak...

Even though LaTech may be voted in, did/will App still be a NO vote? I hope so. And who else is with us? No, sounds like App and CCU were votes 9 and 10 last week. All 13 will vote yes on Monday I’d assume. We were not. Neither were they. Interesting Ark St fan seemed to indicate JMU, ODU, and Mars...

Who were the actual options to join the SBC? La Tech Ohio? WKU? UAB? MTSU? Bowling Green? Jax State? UNCC/ECU- probably not legit options. Georgraphically, those seem like the only G5 options. Hard to say with any certainty. UAB would be a stretch along with EZU and Concord simply because of the AA...

More than any property in the Sunbelt. But how much are we being devalued by our conference mates? I get that we are at the high end of the curve, but how far are we from the median? That is a good question to ask Doug Gillin where we stand. The goal should be to get in a league with schools that h...

There has not been any indication that ULM was going to be dropped. Sure their interim President explored it but he is no longer there.

The question that you have to ask is “What is App’s worth to a media contract?

Maybe I am wrong, if the coach has not communicated to the players on the current team who the leader in the clubhouse is ...would they really be telling recruits? That stuff gets back up the mountain as recruits come back up to campus. Seems it would be a big risk in losing trust with players on t...
