Figured some of you guys would find this funny
- Thread starter Incognegro
- Start date
and those are both 5-3.
Edited to say the Eagles only loss is to a 4-5 Marshall team. Marshall's other wins are against a 4-4 Louisville team, 2-6 Rice, and 1-7 UAB.

That really gave me a good laugh. I'll read their board every now and then since I keep up with the team here and there, but their fanbase is one of the most delusional ones I've ever seen. They really believe that if given the opportunity of joining the SEC that they would dominate the state and the West, no questions.Big D said:
I am friends with 30% of Southern Mississippi Univeristy's fanbase. They talk **** to me on FB about how they are the "Big Power" in MS. Wow, is all I can say. I don't even engage and they think my silence is because "I can't say anything". Christ, a CROOM team beat their conference champion in the Liberty Bowl. That should say enough...</p>
Auburn - No
LSU - Hell no
Georgia - No
South Carolina - No
I don't think they could beatany of them even if it was the only SEC school they had to play this year.
What it boils down to is this: UntiltheC-USAchampioncan consistently beat the 7thbest SEC school in theLiberty Bowl, they shouldnot compareus to them.

but from watching them and us this year, I think that we have the overall better team. If we were to play on a neutral field, I feel it would be a pretty good close game. If we played them 10 times, I'd say we'd probably win 6 or 7 of the times.

Let's face it, we should have lost to Louisiana Tech. They handed us that game at the end and it was at home. We also were losing at the half vs. UAB. We simply aren't very good.<div>
</div><div>The way we have been playing, I don't think we would go 7-1 against that schedule. We would 17 up and win 5 or 6. To be fair, I'm not sure that Southern would typically go 7-1 with that schedule.</div>

and those are two of the better teams USM has played. Also, if those were just 2 regular games on our schedule, we would have been more mentally ready to play in both of those games. And yeah, I know it's the coach's responsibility to have them ready to play every game, but the fact is nobody is going to be fully ready to play against a breather team.
Usually teams play differently game by game. Just because we should have lost to La Tech doesn't change the fact that we didn't nor that we truthfully are the better team. You also use UAB as an example, but you're leaving out the fact that game was a tale of two halves and two quarterbacks. True, this team isn't as good as they possibly could be and definitely not as good as people were hoping, but I'm just having a hard time seeing us doing worse than what Southern was able to do with their schedule.
they actually take the "this is our state"billboards as a slight to them. they actually believe it was geared toward them as well as ole miss. their players "laughed about it and thought it was really funny/pathetic, b/c they know they're better than us". I can't make this **** up. they feel validated by going 7-1 against one of the worst schedules in the history of football coupled with a loss to a really ****** school and a near loss (2 pt win over LaTech) to a really shittier school. yes, i realize we should've lost to them too. Of course, i'm not saying we deserve a BCS bowl game either. South Carolina showed USM what a slightly above average SEC team would do to an "elite" CUSA team last year. And I hope to hell that Houston (not USM, cause I don't want to hear that ****) getsa BCS bid this year and gets paired with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, or an SEC school.
Auburn is not very good and was coming off a near loss to super-****** Utah State. Auburn is negative in point margin this year. South Carolina was playing with a new QB and also really isn't very good in my opinion. South Carolina almost lost to Navy, a team that USM crushed. I don't think that USM would beat either team, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.<div>
</div><div>I don't really understand the belittling of USM on this board.</div>

almost lost to two ****** teams and have lost to every good team. This is not a good outcome. We have done nothing to show that we are any good.<div>
</div><div>We are not very good at all. At least USM beat Virginia and has been solid against the "breathers."</div>

I can only speak for myself when I say this, but I do believe Southern has a decent team, but I don't view them as being a better team than us.<div>
</div><div>Also...when you say that you don't put any value in those losses, but when assessing our close win against La Tech, and being down to UAB by 3 at the half you use that to undermine what little positives we've had. I just don't think that's forming a fair subjective opinion. To take things just a little further, both Auburn and USCe are 6 - 3 and 7 - 1 respectively and have won the games to allow them to be ranked better than more than 3/4ths of the entire NCAA. Despite how you view them, doesn't change this fact at all.</div><div>
</div><div>Auburn's only losses came from 3 teams that have been in the BCS top 10 at one point this season (with the only one currently out being Clemson) and USCe's only loss came at the hands of Auburn. I'm sorry, butdiscreditingall of that just doesn't make sense when backing up your other points.</div><div>

that says MSU and USM cannot play against each other the Liberty Bowl. That's why we are going to either Shreveport (please God no) or Nashville. I can't see us getting put in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Vandy or Kentucky would go there before us.lyle said:
He had been All-World against C-USA defenses to the point that he was threatening Barry Sanders' record. A good record in that conference is not anything special.
that don't pan out after they seemed to put up ridiculous stats in college. I'm not saying that C-USA has talent comparable to the SEC, but they do have their studs.
One of USM's 10 fans here. I'm not saying that we are a top 25 team, but we deserve consideration based on the last four or five games. We beat a solid Virginia team that has taken down GT and Miami in the last couple of weeks. Then shattered Navy, Rice, SMU, and beat UTEP handily in Mexico without the best defensive player in the conference and our top 2 running backs. Not saying a whole lot, I know. We started off shaky. The LaTech game was in a monsoon and they scored on kickoff return and a muffed punt by us. Then we had 6 turnovers, gave up a safety, and had a punt blocked against Marshall....and somehow only lost by 6. I'm not even that confident that we win out. But hell, I'll enjoy the ride and the publicity. Wonder how long it will take ESPN to get us mixed up with MSU?
BTW, none of your 8 wins last year were impressive either and that got you into the top 20.

Whether Southern should be ranked isn't really in question here. It's more directed at the delusions of grandeur of the few fans on BGN.<div>
</div><div>As far as our wins last year... yall's most impressive win this season wouldn't be bigger than half our wins then.</div>

What are we arguing about? State is undefeated against C-USA and so is USM........Oh wait. Didn't they lose to an awful Marshall team? State would be undefeated with USM's schedule. But, what is even more pathetic is that USM thinks those billboards were aimed at them. USM isn't even on MSU's radar.
It's impossible to say that State would be undefeated in CUSA, just like I can't say that we would have more than one SEC win with your schedule. Most USM fans don't think this is "our state"...we just find it corny, especially after coming off just your 2nd winning season in the last decade or so.
All three schools' football programs are about on the same level. We would trade wins and losses with State and OM just like the old days. Last year, State would have donkey stomped us. I feel like it would be a really good game this year. Can't wait for our matchup in 2014...who knows what either program will look like at that date.

50 point win over Michigan on neutral field is not impressive? Check.<div>And I'd bet any year you guys beat UGA and Florida (if it ever could happen) you'd be impressed.</div><div>
</div><div>Fact is, if we happen to slip to the Liberty Bowl and you guys happen to miraculously win your conference and get there, we'll beat you. And you know it.</div>

it is in the rules or contract or whatever that a C-USA and a SEC team from the same state can't play each other in the Liberty. Also, to the poster above I think it was StateofMS, the Indy Bowl hasn't had an SEC tie in since 2009. So, we can't play in that either.
You don't put any value on our close wins against outmanned teams and you don't put any value on our close losses to top 25 teams (1 a top 10 team). You're either a troll or an idiot, and I'm not sure which. Although I think most trolls are idiots, so maybe you're better off with just going with idiot.
