that's almostverbatimthe exact context I pictured too. Just add a few more "!" and "1"s and you'd be right on.
and he's probably the most rational of all of them. He even told me he was banned from BGN for being too "negative" when he was criticizing Bower. I can actually talk to him about football outside of the C-USA which is rather surprising. Save for the only 2 buzzards I've seen post here, most of the others I've seen have been ridiculous.
They seriously believe that if they were some how admitted into the SEC that they would all of a sudden run the tables in the state and compete in the SEC. They do not realize that all 3 schools would be for the worst if that were to happen. They will not run the tables and start cherry picking athletes in the state now that they're in the SEC. It doesn't work for us because we have TSUN to worry about, and if they jump into the mix, we're effectively splitting the top recruits into 1/3s. Let them compete in a division much less a conference that has 3 teams that are vying for BCS bids and then we'll talk.
in regards to developing our athletic programs. Your typical buzzard begrudgingly holds us (and the Bears for that matter) in contempt for being in the right place at the right time. They would collectively give their left nuts, their AAs from MGCCC and PRCC, and all the chain restaurants on Hardy Street to be an SEC member.
I see it more so that most TSUN and MSU fans are just appreciative (to a degree) than anything. There's no way we would be in a better situation if we weren't in the SEC, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. They like to think that we're underachieving, and to some extent I can see where they're coming from, but just like they try to say we overlook the money we do get from the SEC, they overlook the fact that Mississippi doesn't have a high quantity of SEC talent although the quality of the athletes we produce are pretty good even in our down years, and having 2 schools in the SEC effectively splits the little bit of talent we do have.<div>
</div><div>Mullen was quoted in our game last night saying something that I have believed for a while. You take the top 25 players from TSUN and MSU and put them together on one team and you effectively have a top 3 team talent wise. It's not so much that both schools are underachieving as it is we both have uphill battles to fight that neither can seem to gain enough momentum to maintain steady success.</div>

..both Houston & Tulsa currently have 5-0 conference records in CUSA play.
USM has a 4-1 conference record.
Houston & Tulsa play each other the last game of the season, so that game might determine the CUSA West championship. (Barring a huge meltdown, USM has CUSA East locked up).
Just making the point the, at least for now, Tulsa has as good a chance to make the Liberty Bowl as USM or Houston.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a rule that prevents us from playing USM in the Liberty Bowl. Something along the lines of 2 teams from 1 state or along those lines.. So regardless of outcome of the season, we won't be seeing them this year..Dogma said:
